You've all pushed me far enough. I've finally come up with my gift list, and I expect to receive everything on it. It's actually quite simple, and each of you can give me the same gift if you truly care about what I want.
I would like for all of my friends and family to stop saying the words "like" and "ummm." Instead of "I was like...", I want to hear "I felt..." or "I said...". And if try to look up "ummm" in the dictionary, you won't find it, because it's not even a real word! It makes you sound less intelligent, even though I know you are all very intelligent people.
Thankyou.
And no further references to hair dye would be appreciated as well. If you must know the full story, visit our blog later this afternoon. I plan to have worked up the courage to post the whole painful thing by then.
Excuse me Miss English major, but isn't that spelled "thank you"?

ReplyDeleteLike wow Janell, what is your problem? like, who lite your fuse? Umm, I'm like thinking, how about a bunch of bags for wearing over your head until you like get your hair back?
ReplyDeleteIf I stop saying "like" or "umm" can I keep the money I was going to spend on your birthday gift?
ReplyDelete9 more days and the money is all mine!
ReplyDeleteOh, daughter after mine own heart, it is so good to have a comrade, in this battle against "like!" It grates to hear the excessive missuse of that word! For so long, I have waged this battle alone, but alas, it is one of my own that has joined the rank. You may have anything you want for your birthday!
ReplyDeleteOh goody! I want a mint Triumph TR6. Just deliver it to Dad, he will take care of it from there. Thanks Mommy!
ReplyDeleteOh, and Mommy dear, please have a garage built for it at Dad's house, I don't want it to sit out in the rain for even one day. You said anything right?
ReplyDeleteWow Janell, kind of taking advantage of Mom aren't you? If you get tired of the Triumph, I might take it off your hands though. Great gift idea.
ReplyDeletei was going to leave an incredibly clever comment here, but I see everyone has beat me to it.
ReplyDeleteOne has to really wonder who Anonymous is. Sounds suspiciously like a former Triumph TR4 owner, and present owner of a sorry TR? And then, like a vulture, Mike comes swooping in, to take it off your hands, Janell. Something smells rotten in Denmark!
ReplyDeletePS If Janell had written the ideas, she would have addressed them to Mummy! Shot yourself in the foot, Anonymous!
thankyou everyone.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't possibly be anonomus, because I can't even spell it! It sounds to me like someone was intoxicated with the heady thoughts of annihilating "like" and "ummm" and promised up to half her kingdom, only to recant when she sobered up to the cost of a mint TR6. Sorry Janell, I'm sure you were estatic for while there.
