One thing that always helps me dissipate Da Funk, at least for a bit o' time, is Dee Shad-en-froyd-ah, yo!
"Ahh, it is to chortle," he said, chortlingly. Finally got to bust out "Consequences" today. Sweeeeeeet. I just wish I'd had that oldey-tyme radio "don't you believe it" voice.
Apparently it wasn't all Sunshinenroses on the Trip to Snow Mountain this weekend for STBXMRSSP and Boy-Child Himself, who was, by the sound of it, truly a Wild One. What was he rebelling against? What did she have?
And she got frustrated enough -- and that's got to be Some Frustration -- to call Smiley's Person Himself and ask me to "speak with your son."
So I did. "Hey, champ! How's it going? Rhubarb-rhubarb-rhubarb. Well, that sounds swell! Was it a big snowman? Rhubarb-rhubarb-rhubarb. Snowboarding! Are you sure?"
Back on the phone, STBXMRSSP inveigles against Smiley's Person: You didn't say anything about his behavior!
