Wordful Wednesday?!

I’m on IT, baby! Being wordy is what I do! 😀

I always seem to get stuck behind this car every day while I’m waiting for Jazz to get out of school:

Now I ask you, what sort of MOM puts that on her big-ass SUV?

I’m seriously curious.

And I was seriously nervous about taking this picture because I was afraid she might see me taking a picture and jump out to kick my ass.

Like I would LET her. *snort*

I wonder how her children feel being compared to asses?

And if I were to apply this to my family? (Which I never would – my family are NOT asses, thank-you-very-much), it would go a little something like this:

Smart-ass – Kevin (because he’s, well, smart).
Dumb-ass – Me. Totally.
Wise-ass – Dude. (He has that part down pat, actually).
Kiss-ass – Jazz (is actually REALLY good at brown-nosing me).

And now, I’m done. I do believe this is the first (and hopefully last) time I’ve used the word ass so many times in one post.

I feel dirty now.

If you played, please insert the DIRECT link to your video response in the Mr. Linky box below. I’ll convert these links tomorrow so Google and Technorati will pick them up.

Welcome to the seventh In My Opinion!! Did you answer the questions? I hope so!

Here are the questions for this week:

1. Tax Day. Boo! What are your thoughts on taxes? Necessary evil? Too much? Too little? How do you feel about Joe the Plumber’s mission to abolish the IRS? (You can find out more about the Fair Tax proposal here.)

2. Are you more likely to avoid conflict or engage in it head-on? Why?

3. Which do you prefer: the hustle and bustle of city life or the quiet and serenity of the country life? Why?

And here is my video response to these questions:

tealogo Side note: By the by, this post does a good job describing my frustration with taxes. It’s about fiscal responsibility – *gasp*. I apologize for saying the “R” word. Everyone seems to treat that like a dirty word, nowadays.

I had too much fun taping this and I hope you had fun watching it; I also hope my children/grandchildren treasure it someday. Because really, that’s what In My Opinion is all about – leaving a bit of you behind.

Ready for next week’s questions? Brace yourself …
