I was shopping at Trader Joes and a young twenty something store employee stopped me, "Mam", she said, (Mam?? is she really talking to me? mam??) "where did you get your cardigan?" (now that's more like it) "LOFT" I answer. And she stares blankly--"you know, Ann Taylor's LOFT?" Still blank. So I instruct her where to find a store, and move along. So I have found my niche-my choice of caridigan color-still cool, my choice of store to purchase it at--only cool to those of us "Mams".

Not an honest Superhero
Tonight Fieldwork Phoenix called to see if I qualified to do a study. So the lady asked me all kinds of questions pertaining to cold medicine and I gave her every answer I thought would get me into the study that pays $125. Then randomly at the end she asked:
"If you were a superhero and could have any superpower, what would it be?"
So I blocked my initial answer--which I've put much thought into and responded:
"My superpower would be to be able to sense when my kids were in danger"
Which is true--I'd like that superpower, but it's not THE superpower I have decided upon with much consideration.
My real one is an inappropriate superpower.
If I could have any superpower it would be to have the ability to cause a person to have sudden and uncontrollable explosive diarrhea.
Why would that be useful? Well consider these situations:
The lady at the restaurant who is talking much too loud on her cell phone and disturbing your night out. Bam--taken care of
The jerk on the freeway who is zooming in and out of traffic with no regard to anyone's safety. Bam--he's got to pull over--and quick
That person in line at the store who is being a jerk to the cashier--Bam, no time to be a jerk--gotta go.
And don't get me started on ACTUAL criminals. How can a person do a drive by with crap in his pants??? He'd be kicked out of that car for sure. A car full of crapped pants = no drive by.
So many opportunities present itself. I find myself on many occasions saying . . .
if only . . .

Jill, I'm pretty sure that I haven't told you lately how much I love you.
It's true.
I do.
You are one of the funniest people I know!! I love this. I have never thought of it myself, but it's true.
What a great superpower!!
PS...did you get the study?
Awesome choice!
You think about things so much....I love and totally miss that about you! I wish i lived closer so I could have your humor and carefree way of life rub off on me more! Did you get the study? I wish we had a few of those study groups around here...I could use some extra "Christmas" money! :)
so did you get into the study? and what an odd question for a study! But love the REAL answer!
jill, that super power rocks and I agree- it would be quite useful. I might have used it during last nights acceptace speech- just for fun!!
glad you liked our video- how did annabelle like it?
Really? Where do you come up with this stuff. There is a reason why your kids are so clever. It's because they have a very clever mom.
This is highly offensive. We all deserve the right to control our own poopies.
