bathtub test

During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director how do you determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized. 'Well,' said the Director, 'we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub.' 'Oh, I understand,' said the visitor. 'A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup.' 'No.' said the Director, 'A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?'

Pick the bed next to mine!

Thanks for the uplift, J!

Hey I was just admitted too...I guess PMS isn't a good enough defense in a court of law for...well we don't need all the details do we?

Just know that I will be seein ya soon, as off to the 'nut ward' I go...ooo maybe we can go on the buddie system eh?


......Aaahhh....it's the voices again....aaahhh!!!

This iz they car...

OOO my ride!

I saved a seat 4 U next to me!

Awww, thank you buddy, Now we have to come up w/some clever looney bin names while on the inside!! Somethin that will send the other nuts in the fruit basket a message not to mess w/us...

...How 'bout Misery & Chaos? That'll send 'em runnin for their meds, Ooo maybe they'll zonk out early & we can have their desert!

Wow this will be nice, someone to cook for us, clean our room for us, do our laundry. I don't think I'd barely know what to do w/myself.

And then after a long respit of R&R, or 'chillaxation' as my son likes to call it, we could slowly venture back into the world, where our free time will no longer be filled w/ macaroni art, and we will again be trusted w/ the 'big girl' scizzors...


Yay, my bags are packed!!! I get the window bed!

I would have sprayed milk out my nose were I drinking milk as I read this. But coffee spray sufficed. Nice burn.

I like the choice of names and the illustrations!

And how often have I consoled myself with the knowledge that if everything falls apart in my life, the worst I'll have to deal with is maybe electroshock (but they don't do that any more, do they ) or macaroni art. And I could do that. ... I could ENJOY that.

All the while reaching for that seemingly elusive goal of "big girl" pointy scissors!! Or just pretending to reach.

I'm there!
