What did you just ask me??

So it's summertime. Full of sunshine, water, popsicles, and RUDE questions? We did the family thing today. Kung-Fu Panda this morning (love that Jack Black, almost as much as Jack Sparrow) then off to the water park this afternoon. I'm not a fan of waterparks. It's actually a lot of work with kids. and I'm pretty much spending the whole time keeping a watchful eye on my offspring, and making sure my "cover-up" is covering up as it should be..That alone is a full time job. So Bartel wants me to go on this water slide with him in the kiddie area. Sure why not, I'm in a good mood. SO we hike up the short path...I'm still covered up. As we reach the top there is a large sign posted reading something like this "You can not go on this slide if you weigh over 300 lbs." As soon as I read it in my mind, my eye immediately shoot to Bartels face and I see a look of concern wash over him. "Don't do it " I say to myself...But it was too late. Bartel being the rule follower that he is just couldn't resist making sure. "Ummm. Mom? How much do you weigh?" You did not just ask me that...I said "You fat head, how big do you think I am?" "I'm just making sure." I wanted to push him down the slide with my foot. Just like the santa on "Christmas Story" when the kid asks for a BB gun and he tells him "You'll shoot your eye out. Merry Christmas" Then right on the fore head a big ol' boot, and a "HO,HO, HO,". Please someone tell me my son will grow out of this stage. I'm sick of the "Did you have T.V or write with a feather when you were my age?" questions...It's getting old..like me.

Now, which slide did I want to go on?.....

How Much do you weigh?

Maybe if I lay here long enough, my mom won't make me take a bath later....
