'Special Magical Grownup Time'? Oh, oh, wait...that's...sex? Oh God, I remember sex. No, wait, hang-on...it's gone again...
sounds divine... except for the turd part.
Sounds wonderful!
Priceless, baby.
I wonder what kangaroo turds look like. I imagine them as being oversized rabbit turds.
Sorry I am a bit late in wishing you a Happy Birthday Tricky!!! Isn't it cool being one! We are so grown up. :-) Love Gabrielle
is it very weird to ask for photos OF the kangaroo turd?
like spanglish, i am also curious
No. Not wierd at all. Interestingly I thought this very thing this afternoon as I passed a new pile of turds on our way out for a walk.
My friends, posting a picture of the kangaroo turd shall be my weekend's goal.
The turd cometh. Beware.
What a nice way to wrap up your vacation for us.
I find that there are a lot of things that provide more fascination to the grown ups that the kids - Ant's ball popper toy, for example. He's usually done with it after he's set it off a couple of times, where I could play with it for a solid 30 min. What does that say about us???
