Comments on: And the Gold Medal Goes To… http://alisonwonderland.wordpress.com/2009/06/22/and-the-gold-medal-goes-to/ Rantings and ravings about the kids, work, and whatever else strikes my fancy.

I have this wacky mental image of a French woman saying, "My neighbor, Marie, has a spotless kitchen and two spotless children? Screw her, I'm fabulous!" But that's just me.

Someone smart once said "forget yourself and go to work." Yeah, I can't do it, either. You’re kicking my butt at commenting on your siblings’ blogs, though, so there’s something.

It's one of my main requirements in choosing a new neighborhood to move to next year: must be solidly middle class and in no way tempt me to compete over stupid things. Good luck to me with that one.

Men/boys are competitive about games and sports and blah blah. Us females get competitive about more important things. Ha. Not to get all sexist on you, but I think this is a female thing.

It reminds me of the time we forgot to put diapers on Elizabeth (age 1.75) and when we noticed, we made such a big deal out of it, she decided it must be game and flashed everyone around us like a Can-Can girl. There was a lot of crying at church that day, crying while holding back giggles and hiding low behind the pew to laugh. We hauled her out to the car to get a new diaper on. But people still like to remind us of it. I just hope they forget at some point for her sake. Your kid yelling I hate you while heading up to the pulpit must take the cake.

I think that's gold medal worthy right there. End of competition. Your three year old said the closing prayer in sacrament meeting! I think that’s gold medal worthy right there. End of competition.
