I'm petitioning for full custody

Ever borrow someone's children? I haven't, but I thought I'd ask. People tell me that when you do get to take someone else's kids for a while, it's a lot of fun. You get to do all the cool stuff with them, let them eat what they want, stay up late and have a good 'ol time. Then you send them back to their parents and they deal with the crankiness.

Since I'm not always the most mature cracker in the box (it is a box of animal crackers, and I am the giraffe. Nah nah - I get to pick first!) I thought maybe I could borrow my inner child for a while and see what it's like. Since she's potty trained (thanks Mom!) and isn't a picky eater, it didn't seem too intimidating.

I've been doing all sorts of things to spoil her - she needs to think I'm cool or she won't want to hang out with me. We've been doing whatever she wants, and I have to say that we've been having a lot of fun. So much so, that I have decided that I'm going to get full custody. As a matter of fact, it's already done. Yes, in the courts of my mind, custody battles are resolved much more swiftly than the outside world. I have also gotten a restraining order against the Mean Lady. She's still staring at me in disbelief with her mean, crooked face. Maybe in a few months when she softens up, we'll all go to a movie together.

  1. Sounds like Multiple Personality Disorder to me...I share the same illness, so you're not alone!

    Roses are red
    Violets are Blue
    I'm a schizophrenic
    And so am I

  2. I don't think it's Multiple Personality Disorder or an illness. Personalities would be so boring if they were all one dimensional. It's more fun our way. :-)

  3. I need to know how you found your inner child in the first place. Where was she hidding? I'd like to find mine too...

  4. Hmmm... Maybe that will be today's topic. But do you trust an 8 year old to tell you? ;-)

  5. I hope your inner child gets along with your fake daughter - Emily - wasn't that her name? Hee hee.
