Wanna Be My Friend?

Veronica , who I am beginning to think might actually be the Queen of teh Internet, managed to sneak me onto Google + (Google Plus?).

After spending so many years on Facebook, it’s kind of frustrating trying to learn an entirely new system. I mean, BLECH. I hate feeling all awkward and whatnot.

That said, I think Google Plus is going to be a lot better than Facebook. At the very least, it’s going to force Facebook to fix all of its most annoying issues. Should I add my boss? Does he actually need to know that the DragonMonkey keeps purposefully peeing in his crib? I want to post something funny that happened to The Bean and I… but no, I have some younger homeschooled acquaintances on here and their moms who trusted me would KILL me if I insinuated anything vaguely dirty. And no, I do NOT want to adopt your lonely, orphan pink calf or join your Mafia.

What I like MOST about Google Plus is that I don’t have any family members over there. All of my family is all safely ensconced in Facebook. This is important because the only family who know about my blog thus far are my sister and The Bean. I know one day someone will stumble upon it, but I kind of like being free to write about nakedness and failed sex attempts until then. I mean, I’ll still write about it after the jig is up. I’ll just have to cringe when I see them in person.

Anyways, I signed up for Google Plus with my blog’s email address: [email protected].

It felt great to proudly posted a link to my blog in my profile— It almost felt healing.

My name is Becky. I write a blog. Woot!

And if any of you get a Google Plus account once they open it up to the masses, I’d love to add you as a “friend”.

That is, once I figure out how. Sigh. I hate learning curves.

Enunciation: Part Two

The DragonMonkey loves trucks. They have wheels, they roll, you can crash them into things…what’s not to love?

Trucks, Trucks, Trucks. It’s even fun to say.

Except he can’t pronounce “r”s.

And he pronounces “t”s as “f”s.

So, what does truck sound like when you remove the “r” and replace the “t” with an “f”?

I’ll give you a moment to sound it out in your head.

Okay, Is everyone with me?

Yeah.

In the interest of keeping this blog semi-clean, I’m just gonna go ahead and write “truck“. You guys can use your imaginations as to how the following conversations sounded in real life.

“Mama! Want my TRUCK! My TRUCK!”

Then, after he had finished playing with it, he politely tried to share with me, handing me the plastic yellow truck with a huge grin: “Truck? Truck you? Truck Mama?”

Naturally, in the interest of sharing, it’s always nice to give Bad Max a turn with the toy:

“Mama give TRUCK to doggie? Doggie truck? DOGGIE TRUCK? DOGGIE TRUCK!”

My favorite conversation occurred in the grocery store, after I took away his toy truck for throwing it at people:

TRUUUUUUUUCK!!!!! MY TRUUUUUCK! MAMA, MY TRUCK!” (keep in mind that we are in a very crowded grocery store at this point and that the DragonMonkey is impossibly loud when he’s angry.) “Mama, TRUCK! Truck now! Now, mama. TRUCK! Truck to me! Truck me! TRUCK! ME TRUCK! TRUCK ME! NO TRUCK YOUTRUCK ME! “
