Let me clear something up on this second day of April
Jealous of Suleman? Vasectomy reversal? Eggs from Africa?? Teat suckling???
Really? C’mon, people! I thank you for the many unconditional wishes of good luck and support but it ain’t happenin’. Clearly, you are kinder, gentler, better people than I. Or perhaps just crazier. Yes, that’s it. You’re crazier. Because anyone who knows me, knows this:
Me + Another Baby = Hahahahahahahahaha! SnortGuffawThatsagoodone.
I’d rather pluck out every last pubic hair with a tweezer.
Evil… yet funny as well!
It’s got to feel good, though, that you pulled off a really crazy idea in a way that still got people. Doesn’t it?
I think it was too good to be true …
But in the back of my mind, I thought I remembered another reason for you to not have children of your own.
But believe you me, I’ve heard of women who get the “baby fever” and just go craaaazy!
*haha*
the ONLY thing that stuck in my head as weird (I swear) were the eggs from Zimbabwe…but then again, I’m Canadian…I was thinking I maybe wasn’t “hip with the times”..:*)
you ARE evil…but funny…and a good writer too!
@sara mook and Kizz: Yeah, it was pretty evil. And for a bit, as emails poured in from hoodwinked friends who have known me for years (even my God Mother fell for it and she’s known me my entire life!), I felt really bad. But then it was April 1st and, well, there you have it.
@San: Too good to be true for some, a nightmare for me. And a gentle correction on your accidental adoption insensitive language: Ruby may not be my biological child but she is my own. Every little edible, kissable bit of her is my own.
Hook, line and sinker. Evil, no. Clever, yesssss. I sat at my desk AT WORK yesterday with tears nearly spilling over, not giving a thought about the timing. The whole thing was so heart-felt. But I want you all to know, not only did she do this but she did it to me on a day I know everything about – April Fool’s Day – my BIRTHDAY for dog’s sake. My 63rd birthday! Hook, line and sinker. OK dammit, Sam’s back on the list.
xoxo – maybe
Not to embarrass you, Aaryn, but you also forgot is was my birthday. xoxo
Bonzize isn’t even Jewish and yet!
The guilt floweth over.
As I said in my email this a.m….Happy (belated) Birthday!
yay! I heart your blog even more.
Apparently, I am gullible. Also, I am a very nice because even though I thought you were making a huge mistake I offered words of encouragement.
Dumb as rocks I am. I TOTALLY FELL FOR IT!!
You’re gonna think I’m full of shit but I read your post on the bus and was near tears I was so happy for you. Obvi I don’t know you IRL but your yearning for another baby was SO.FUCKING.CONVINCING that I fell for it. With an anvil tied to my ankles I fell for it.
I even thought to myself, “Eggs from Zimbabwe? GET.OUT! Who knew??!”
I’m an idiot.
At any rate … had it been true I was fully prepared to fly to San Diego and babysit for you while you had Zimbabwean eggs implanted into your uterine wall. All for naught …. Ruby’s got a crazy bitch for a mother but I love her nonetheless.
<3
Me
Well hot damn!
Funny, funny, post.
Have a Conscious Friday!
You little scamp.
As someone who changes her mind all the time, I sorta thought you wanting another baby seemed maybe like it could possibly be a real thing.
You little scamp.
I was so ready to call bullshit, but I was too chickenshit to do it.
You totally got me! I thought “She wouldn’t April Fool’s something like that!” and then you did… and I was wrong. I just assumed the urge to have a baby got you. I didn’t even pick up the eggs from Zimbabwe part being strange like the others… Gullible? Yep.
