self esteem
"You are so lucky to have a little Lola! I love myself! I love myself!" Lola said to me at the breakfast table.
Oh, my Hughman, where were you in the '80s? There was a hit song with little kids chanting for a chorus, "They play it on the radio.." Rasta sounding adults were chanting repeatedly, "Pass de dutchy on the lefthand side." I think a "dutchy" is a bong. Anyhow, I heard it on the radio recently and felt like using it for a week or so.
oh doll, in the 80s i was in NYC, high on everything and going to all the hot discos. if you didn't hear it on the dancefloor at 5AM at The Saint, i never heard it. oops. you can still pass the dutchy to me and i'll gladly take it and pass it on...
That is awesome!

Cute! We were driving in the car the other day when Michael said, "Mommy is very lucky!" Then he continued by saying, "Mommy has Michael Matthew."
ReplyDeleteWell yep. I am VERY lucky.

ReplyDeleteoh, btw, what is a "dutchy"? this sounds like pirate-speak.
