Fun with Metaphors

May 23, 2007 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: Anecdotal, Hearth & Home, Minnesota Me 1 Comment

You know your husband has been obsessing about his fish tank stuff too much when, upon turning the corner and nearly stepping on his daughter, he exclaims, “Oh! Little floor-covering sponge!”

I am always humored (or chagrined, depending on how clean the linoleum is) at how my children think nothing of being splayed out in a heap in the middle of the kitchen floor. I call them my little loll-abouts.

And then I say, “Can you please move?”

    Same happens here. Except it usually ends up not in “Please move,” but “Get up off that dirty floor!”

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
