Don't give the three-year-old any ideas.

GOTD: Bored. Bored, bored, bored. Did I mention I'm bored? I'm bored. (Yes, I'm at work, so I can't even take the nap I need.)

That's a good point. DON'T DO WHAT MY CAT DOES. It's disgusting. The Great Pumpkin eats with all the daintiness of a prim and proper high society lady. (One more nibble of kibble? Oh, I just couldn't! Well, if you insist . . .) Windows Vista sticks her entire head in the bowl like no one has fed her in the last 15 years, swallowing and barfing and swallowing again, food spraying in every direction around her bowl and in her fur and over my feet. Ugh.

I'm sorry you're bored at work. Come to the Magical Bamboo Forest, where I am eating lunch and watching a horrid episode of Toddlers and Tiaras.

I'd say I'd rather be bored at work than watch that show, but I don't think that's the truth.

I've never actually watched more than 5 minutes of it, mostly because bratty children just make me pissy.

[Gay Panda]

I'm enjoying one particular mother in this episode who complains that she is her daughter's slave. Um . . . no one is MAKING you do any of this!

[Maureen M]

You guys just brighten my whole shitty work day.
Magical Bamboo Forest indeed.
I had a gripe but you guys made me lose it!
THANK YOU!

Good point, I think I'd rather be bored at work.

One woman spent $800 on a pageant swimsuit for a 2-year-old.

Then she told the camera not to let her husband find out.

Umm, if I come over can we annoy the chickens or something instead? I'm not sure I could stomach something like that. I mean, I won't spend $800 on a dress let alone a swimsuit. For a kid. That I can almost guarantee the kid couldn't actually swim in. If the kid is even allowed to swim.

Oh! Speaking of pagentry- have y'all seen Whip It? It's good!

Sure, we'll chase the chickens around instead! And you can meet Poo Hurler.

Eight . . . hundred . . . dollars. For a swimsuit that the kid is going to wear in a few pageants before growing too big for it. WOW. I don't even know what to say about that, but I do want to yell at the mother who calls herself her daughter's slave that spray-tans, manicures, pedicures, wig and flipper fittings, pageant costume shopping, Big Glitz Hair and Big Glitz cosmetic appointments are all optional activities.

I'm in! Just don't make me shake her hand. She probably does have swine flu. Or . . . something.

Don't worry, in a few years when the kid is in therapy, she'll be calling herself Mom's dress-up doll. In a few more years, she, too, will revert to the level of slave as she gives her own daughter "the very best of everything!" including spray tans. Eew.
