I'm with Stupid ->

It seems middle child does his best thinking in the car. He ponders the big questions as only a six year old can, as he waits for Lucan traffic to do its worst. Today, as we crawled our way home, he asked me if 'stupidiot' was a bad word. I told him it wasn't even a word, so he could decide. This was a little bit too outside the box for him, so, before his brain short circuited at the lack of boundaries, I told him, yes, I reckoned its a bad word.


While a little search on google turned up what I thought - that he wasn't the first person to utter this non-word - I did think it was a good effort from his relatively new brain. And it tied in so nicely with Various C's musings not so long ago.

So, I'm in the mood for new words, incorporating the word 'Stupid'.

What have I got so far?

Stupidiom - The thick things only stupid people say.
Stupidiosyncrasies - The unique ways people find to do stupid things.
Stupidgin - The unintelligible makeiupy language Mr Oubliette uses when he is trying to tell me something he doesn't want the kids to understand.
Stupiddling - The utterly pointless and moronic way life often is.


I could go on, but I guess that's enough for now. I will enjoy spell checking this post.

Is there anything I can't turn my hand to?

Was painting on Sunday to cheer myself up. Painting pictures, not walls. Painting walls makes me even more annoyed. Seems like more than just six years since that eldest son was a toddler. He 'air quotes' when replying to me these days.





Haven't finished the mouth. Maybe that will keep him quiet for a while...

Gloom


Am in a right royal stinking, brooding, eroding, crushing, binge-inducing, wine-guzzling BAD MOOD!!

Why? Ah, is that really important?

The fact is I'm grumpy with a capital Grrrrrrrrrrrr.

Shouldn't be, all being fed, sheltered and healthy.

But can't quite reach the black dog to give him a kick in the arse, to send him on his way.

Maybe I need one of these pills

Bliss.

Even the cute one on Masterchef hasn't cheered me up.

A look of pure mischief


Only calm moment all morning...


Shrinking violets, all three of them...
