The Vote Is In: Did You Choose X Or Y?

Bookmark and Share

In The Land Of New Family Addictions, Hubs has doubled my highest score on Pathwords.*

I hate admire him.

You'd think after 16 years of watching the ME channel, he'd realize:

MY LOVE LANGUAGE IS WINNING.


And to add insult to injury, he also came out ahead in the "should we adopt a boy or a girl" vote. He made sure to read those comments, let me tell you.

AND GLOAT.

I've gone back and forth with the "gender of the fourth child" question. But I finally landed on "either." Although there is at least one person who agrees with me--my evil twin, separated at birth--Kelly. She thinks boys are easier to raise too. And she should know! Hello! Six kids! Expert!

But alas.

Hubs has said "two boys, two girls" for a long time. "The girls need each other," he'll say. ("The girls will pull hair and squeal and hate each other for life," I'll say.)

So.

"Adopting a girl" is in the lead.

All that's left is the icy stare sweet smile I'll give the Hubs when the social worker comes to town.

Stay tuned for late-breaking gender-selection developments.

*Pathwords is an online word-search game you can play on Facebook. I am the Queen of the Three-Letter Words. And that is why my love tank is consistently on "E."

Well, good for Pa. Just don't call me when the girls are arguing in their room at 10:30 P.M. about where to put the little sock bin and how one has more space than the other and then then one ends up bawling then Mama blows her top.

And meanwhile, ALL of your boys are sweetly sound asleep in their beds.

Just sayin'.

On the other hand, the gal who thought that it would be easier to match outfits... Oh yeah! She was right. That will be totally worth it! :)

And I just realized that you referred to *me* as the *evil* twin. What!? *You* are the evil twin. I'm all sugar and spice and everything nice!

Or did you mean that we're Evil Twins - as in *both* evil? >:-)

Ok, (sigh) yeah.

We're BOTH evil. Which only enhances our evilness.

I'm really looking forward to the spats.

*cough*

I finally tried that game and am so sorry I did. It could quickly become an obsession...
Glad to know 3-letter words are okay. I'm so very proud of myself when I find a 5 letter word! Of course, my scores reflect my 3-letter status. Hee, hee!

I want just one girl. Too much hormones & one word WEDDING.

Kevin on the other hand would take as many children (x or y) as he can get....while I'M the primary parent.

Ain't that how it goes? LOL
