Target Sells Useful Things. Like Immortality.

Me: OMG! Look at this bottle of Excedrin I just bought. It holds as much ten small bottles. They should call it “Mother’s BIG Helper”.

Him: Yeah. Don’t get near it when you’re sad. It looks totally suicidey.

Me: What you call an overdose, I just call a dose.

Him: Agree to disagree.

Me: Wait, this stuff is totally full of caffeine. Instead of dying, you’d just be awake FOREVER.

Him: Which is the opposite of killing yourself.

Me: Stay away from the Excedrin, son. I don’t want you committing anti-suicide.

Him: That’s mean.

    You’re a mom. My world just tilted. You kept that one a secret!

    Excedrin. Otherwise known as how I turned my minor migraines into earth-shattering death bombs in my head when I was too danged lazy to refill my REAL migraine medicine. Seriously, that crap will kill you for real.

    Actually, not to be a buzzkill, but acetaminophen overdose is one of the most common poisonings worldwide. It can lead to liver failure and death in a few days. A really awful way to die. Never mix it with alcohol!

    Pure awesomeness. First time here, and now I’m a keeper!! Keep takin’ that Excedrin!!

    Actually, to kill Sharon Rose’s buzz kill, Excedrin is aspirin, not acetominophen, so you’re safe. Although it could kill your liver, so I recommend drinking instead. If you’re going to kill you liver, you could at least get a little toasty first.

    Barbara – So it IS or ISN’T anti-suicide? Pour me a drink.

    Mary – Thank you and welcome!

    heh, good stuff.

    And, since this is my first visit here, I may seem dense, but….

    to the commenters who didn’t realize you had a child, why else would it be called, Fuck Yeah, Motherhood? Wouldn’t it just be called, Fuck Yeah, Womanhood?

    Maybe I’m the dense one. I dunno.

    Texan Mama -
    yeah, those comments are totally confusing if you don’t know me.

    I had another blog for a little over a year (thecheckoutgirl.net) where I discussed funny things that happened at work and because of both my writing style and the fact that I was working a job that was typically held by college kids, people assumed that I was younger than I am. I never discussed my age or having children. instead of making an announcement about any of it, I wrote about 20 posts for this blog and subtly linked from there to over here. the comments are just registering their surprise.

    thank you for visiting. I love fresh meat!
