If you have a nasty kid it is yours to deal with, mother is getting old and has done her duty in the kid department and I will be more that happy to babysit but not raise.  You birth em you raise em.

My younger sister is expecting her first baby (a boy!), and mom sent me this private message within the Ravelry site. The “penis face” reference comes from me telling Ravelry how fun mom is & posting a pic of her modeling a penis mask at my sister’s bachelorette party.

So, are you going to start knitting for your new nephew? Of course, your sister thinks I am going to go crazy, as if it was any of HER business.
I think he will need lots of little socks & hats. Of course, at the rate I go, I’d better start something now to have it finished in Feb. Your afghan comes first. Love & miss you
Penis Face Mom

This was part of her response.

I had a dream last night about you and babies! Which prompts me to STRESS that now that you are a Loose Woman you absolutely don’t want, or should I say I don’t want you to become a surprised statistic. You know the ones that never think it can happen to them and then finds themselves pregnant. In this day and age there is no reason for that to happen.

I think it would be a good time to get onto the pill, and the added benefit is that your periods become less! Yippee! A good effect.

Mom: You and M should treat yourself to a baby for graduation!
Me: Great… a lifelong committment, just what we need… we’re doing a vacation.
Mom: That’s perfect!  That’s exactly what you need!
Me: Mom, that’s horrifying.
Mom: What, I didn’t say it…
Me: Saying it and subliminally hinting to it are the same thing.
Mom: Well… you *are* married… a vacation without birth control would be perfect!

Today’s video was a crying baby and a whining dog.

Me: That’s so cute! The baby stops crying every time the dog starts whining!
Mom: Speaking of babies… you received a box of baby formula samples in the mail yesterday… anything you want to tell me?
Me: Um…no. Why the heck would I get baby formula samples? Weird. Feel free to toss them.
P.S. If I was pregnant and trying to hide it from you, I wouldn’t have baby formula sent to your house instead of mine.

They’ve been pretty good today except Ty can’t learn to point his goober down when he’s on the potty and he pees all over the floor, his clothes, and – if I’m not fast – all over me!! He’s lost all concept of pottying and I have to remind him every 30 minutes or so. I love being a “hands on” grandma!!
