Can I Borrow? -- Part 3

So, the good ol' can I borrow ex-neighbor is at it again. We had babies within 3 days of each other. So, anytime they come to visit their former residence they want to compare and contrast. Uuuugggghhhh!!!! Last night was no exception.

So, while trying to make idle chit-chat I mention that it has been nice to have my dear hubby working some odd jobs from home while looking for the optimal law job. It has made taking care of the newborn much easier. The female then says to me "What do you do all day? Water your garden?" Which I know she is somewhat envious of my new freetime. So I just answer "Yup!! " "I don't get anything else done, Ever!" For once I was able to respond quickly she didn't have a reply and quickly changed the subject. If only I could have thought of something a little more sassy!

The comparesies. I am having fun with this one lately. My goal is to see how many women I can ruffle with my stay at home mom replies.

Try this one: Yeah, we just don't eat, have cell phones, wash our clothes or buy bottled water, that is how I can afford to stay home. Oh, and I have a trust fund. :)

PS. Next time they call, tell them you have a really bad itchy rash.


Also, we need to get together for the "thing" that you are obligated for.
