Our Little Geekling

Here’s your next installment of Twitter favorites! (Also! I realized I probably shouldn’t be naming your family members on here, so I’ve redacted their names and will go back through old posts and do the same.)

@CharlieSue: August 15: Hey, didn’t YOU GUYS have Dictionary Wars when you were a kid where your mom gave you and your sister a word and you had t… oh wait. DORK.

@snoozical: August 15: Just got all het up about people calling diet soda TOXIC because it’s not NATURAL and oh my god. So, got a diet coke, feeling better.

@TemerityJane: August 16: [discussing the delicious dinner she's making for her family] Except for the baby. The baby gets gruel. Where do I get gruel? The really thin kind?

@EricaHuff: August 16: Y’all let me know if you need some swag from the El Paso airport.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

@SaraBellePlaine: August 16: [Daughter] stood all on her own today. I may have pushed her down and whispered “too soon, baby, too soon.”

@SarahLena: August 17: If you think your day sucks, remember: at least YOU didn’t liberally apply foundation primer to your hair instead of gel. YOU’RE WELCOME.

@omg_youguys: August 17: ”What the… How did I get a cold sore? Oh, no, it’s just chocolate syrup.” – Me while looking in the mirror this morning

@alldressedup: August 17: Oh, you’re mad at me because we’re out of your preferred melon for lunch? I just sneezed and peed myself thanks to birthing you. SO THERE.

@adellstevens: August 17: [Daughter]: “Mom, I need a TV for my room so I don’t have to get up and find the iPad.”

@burghbaby: August 18: I want to French braid the dog’s fur just because I think she would let me.

@EricaHuff: August 18: [Erica was at a fancy wedding for a friend of her husband's and knew no one, so was tweeting to us]
@HereWeGoAJen: @EricaHuff What can you say to make you sound super important? Try “hold on one minute, I need to send them the launch code.”
@EricaHuff: @HereWeGoAJen Hmm, how about snort-giggling at that tweet? That was probably pretty cool, right?
@HereWeGoAJen: @ericahuff Now I’d like you to mutter “I told those fools not to use plutonium.”
@ericahuff: @HereWeGoAJen Now my cool new friends just think I’m a weird giggle-monster, thanks for that.

@ericahuff: I have made a couple of friends! They are very, very drunk girls! #FancyWeddingTweets

@homesweetsarah: August 19: Weirdest thing you’ve had to do at a job? Here, I’ll go first. I once had to braid a man’s hair. Aaaand now your turn.
@NASeason: @homesweetsarah Got female rats drunk, then gave them pap smears.

@alldressedup: August 21: [Daughter] just asked the hygienist how much a golden tooth would cost her. I have never been more proud.

@Superjules: August 23: Yes, I deleted a tweet with a typo and retweeted it sans typo. If I don’t have my wordsmanship, WHAT DO I HAVE?

@TwoAdults: August 23: (Overheard in [son]‘s classroom between a girl & a boy): Her: “You wanna get married? We have been playing and coloring a lot.” Him: “Okay.”

@HereWeGoAJen: August 24: [I don't even know what this convo was about. It's just funny.] @snoozical @andyouknow @incog @pinkherring @lynnettielou I had a hamster. He had giant balls. If you blew on them, they disappeared.
@lynnettielou: @snoozical @andyouknow @incog @pinkherring So. Which animals have the biggest relative vaginas? @NASeason ?
@TemerityJane: @lynnettielou @snoozical @andyouknow @incog @pinkherring @naseason Are you asking her about vaginas because she’s a biologist or a lesbian?

@pantalonesfuego: August 26: I think that someone I know on FB just got a lip kiss tattoo on her ass (as did her boyfriend?). oO There’s… photographic evidence.

@booksnchickens: August 27: Kids asked if we could be president, and we said, “No, you have to know more about government, or be George Bush’s son.”

@booksnchickens: August 27: Every time I wear a race shirt, I want people to be impressed and ask me about it. “I ran three miles. IN A ROW.” And then they’d crown me Queen of Everything.

@TwoAdults: August 30: [Daughter] has taken to swinging her arms like a crazy-ass windmill and saying, “HI YA! HI YA! HI YA!” World’s least effective ninja?

@EmilysHollow: August 30: The election this year is making me feel extra stabby. (Incase you’re reading, Big Brother, that’s a Simpson’s reference, not a threat.)

@dashoff: August 30: [Daughter] asked for a before bed snack, so she is sitting on the couch eating two huge leaves of romaine lettuce.

@JesabesBlog: August 30: Fun fact about my new picture: I wasn’t wearing pants when I took it.

@TwoAdults: August 31: [NO idea what the context for this was, and I don't care. It's hilarious.] @omg_youguys Throw in some weiner glitter and IT’S A PARTY.

 

And there’s August.
