I remembered how, as a kid (maybe I was 8 or 9) I gave my older sister a kind of sponge cake for Christmas. It was just something I bought at the supermarket about 4 or 5 days before Christmas, which I found yummy and which I wanted my sister to taste. When Christmas morning came around and she opened my present, she thanked me and really showed how she appreciated my gift -- even though I realized years later that it was expired by the time she opened it haha! I don't remember if she ate it though :-)<BR/><BR/>I felt good knowing that I had shared something with my sister. And she didn't even wince or let out a condescending smile or laugh when she saw that it was past the expiration date. Funny now when I think about it...sunnydayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15866905031172910302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5284886541417961334.post-33097494359717900702008-07-20T12:46:00.000-04:002008-07-20T12:46:00.000-04:00Jenn, I wish dandelions pressed better.Ginger, res...Jenn, I wish dandelions pressed better.<BR/><BR/>Ginger, rest assured our boys get their share of being ignored and told to suck it up. Especially on Sunday mornings, typically the only day my husband and I get to sleep in together. ;)Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16529978701623558767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5284886541417961334.post-48483743454750883112008-07-19T12:47:00.000-04:002008-07-19T12:47:00.000-04:00oh, sweet little boy! at least he's got a mom that...oh, sweet little boy! at least he's got a mom that pays attention and talks to him to acknowledge his affection instead of ignoring him and just telling him to suck it up......wait, do i sound bitter?<BR/><BR/>good job julie, he knows you love him and are there for him. that's what matters most.disabled accounthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13540062415882767130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5284886541417961334.post-11299588311586484882008-07-18T21:48:00.000-04:002008-07-18T21:48:00.000-04:00Sometimes instinct just seems to take over and the...Sometimes instinct just seems to take over and there is no way to hold back what is on our minds as it comes out of our mouths. Although it may have hurt at the time it sounds like you are both really happy with the dandelion present and that is something you can scrapbook and keep forever with no risk of stray germies :)CSD Faux Finishinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05947691876538206892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5284886541417961334.post-11079091166361192282008-07-18T14:26:00.000-04:002008-07-18T14:26:00.000-04:00Yeah, it's a total load o' bs.

I love dandelions, and he knows this. :) Per his request, I happily wore it my hair (until I could put it in a little water at work). I think we're on good terms again.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16529978701623558767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5284886541417961334.post-65524789797397803062008-07-18T00:08:00.000-04:002008-07-18T00:08:00.000-04:00ouch. beautifully written - i feel the pain, havi...ouch. beautifully written - i feel the pain, having been both the squashed and the squasher. that old saw about 'words will never hurt me' - total load of crap, isn't it?pastrywitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09143587662242345203noreply@blogger.com
