And especially Friday Mom.
During my weekly phone call to the parents they reported that my old high school and college buddy had been in town visiting her folks. This friend has just finished her doctoral work after many years, much to the relief of her long-suffering husband and two small daughters. My dad, also a PhD, was congratualting her and remenicing about those long ago days when his own doctoral studies were stressing the life of his young family. My friend responded with this story.
Toward the end, she was home one morning, tapping away at her computer, when she heard the phone ring. Her preschool daughter ran to answer it. After a pause, my friend heard her darling cherub say, "Yes, my mom is home. But she's working on her fucking dissertation."
Could I add that this dissertation was being written for a respected east coast divinity school??

"Little pitchers have big ears."
Whoa! How red was mom's face?
My husband and I both had a laugh at this (and we don't usually find the same things funny!).
I absolutely love that story!
When I was finishing my dissertation, I imagined that God was actually giving me a vision of Hell -- but over the years, I've decided Hell probably isn't as bad.
Out of the mouth of babes! Great story.
That is just too funny!!
That rocks! Only if I could drop the F BOMB in a sermon now...HAHA
