Two Great Lines That I Didn’t Write…

…But wish I would have.

(1) From my brother’s blog about a utility sink installation he was doing in their garage:

"How cheap can I make this project" turned into "how much do I have to spend in order to not call a plumber."

I’d have to change “plumber” to “Papa Jim” but the sentiment is fully understood.

 

(2) From a blog on ParentMap, by Stephanie Olson.

If I am staying at home and I am a feminist, I had damn well better raise two boys who are kind and respectful and gentle in this world.

Again, I’d have to personalize it a bit:

If I am staying at home and I am a feminist, I had damn well better raise 3 kids who are kind and useful and pick their nose in private…and do it better than anyone I could have paid. 

How would you other Stay-at-Homes finish this thought? If I am staying at home and I am a feminist, I had damn well better raise ____ kids/boys/girls who are ________________________.
