No pics. Don't ask. :p

Been seeing this much younger woman for a few weeks now. She's divorced and lives with her two kids...16 months and 2-something years, IIRC...I'm not really digging the whole kid thing, but she has no cats, doesn't drink and obviously doens't do drugs (I wont' date anyone who does drugs and CAN'T date anyone with cats. :()

Anyway, while chatting w/her this morning, she commented that most of Mr. Potato Head's parts got lost in the move (she just moved into her own place a few weeks ago) the kids have other toys, but Tato was there favorite and now all the kids had to play with were the body, one foot, and eye and the tongue. :(

This saddened me b/c Mr. Potato Head is like a mandatory childhood toy!!

So, I went to Target and bought this "Bucket of Potato Head Parts." "D Three Potato bodies and like a billion parts. :D

I called ahead, said I had something to drop off for her... I guess she thought it wsa for her.

So, I hand her this like, 2.5gallon BUCKET of Mr. Potato Head parts for the kids. You would think I gave her a diamond ring...heaven forbid. :Q

We go upstairs, she shows the kids the bucket and they were like "TATO HEAD MAN>>>GIMMEEEEEEE!! GIMMMEEEEEE!!"


It was like crack or something. They were SO amused...that she was able to forcibly drag me into the back bedroom. :D Lets' just say, I didn't have to exert much effort....she drove. :heart:

I tell you; I put up SUCH a fight...I felt SO used....Oh, it was horrible....wait....I'm over it. :beer::D

Shhheeeet; who would've thought Mr. Potato Head could get you The Good Thing? :D

That's the really cool thing! $12.99 + tax.

It has two regular size potoato head bodies (so you can do a Mr. & Mrs. Tato head, and a 1/4 size tato body for a Tato Junior! :D

I must admit; I'm looking forward to getting a buzz and sitting on the floor playing Tato head with the kids.

I can use the props to instruct them on real life.

Mr. Tato can be the angry, overworked, underpaid and unloved husband. Mrs. Tato head can be the stay at home wife that's screwing the lawn guy and tato kid can be the unloved latchkey kid. I will make them fight...and see the psychiatrist (Barney Dolll).

The kids will cry, but I will justify my actions by telling their Momma that I'm preparing them for the rest of their life.

I love my job. :D

True...about 2/3 the price ( I like Sam Adams). But, beer will not score the points I did today with the Potato Head Bucket! :D

Besides, now that I have what appears to be a "steady" in the picture, I'll glady give up a six-pack that will last one night for 'The Good Thing for the next week. :thumbsup::D

Um...are you female w/kids?

Women seem to like seeing the man "care for" the kids. Even if they are faking it.

I mean, her kids are cute and all, but they aren't mine, I haven' known her for htat long, etc.

there's a reason I'm single and live alone; i don't HAVE TO put up w/that crap. I have my own place. You can come over here. If i'm over there, when I've had my fill of your daycare center, I leave.

I LOvE being single!

If she has kids b/t 15 months and 3-4 years, it's a sure bet. ALL kids love Mr. Potato Head!!!! :D

Kids happy=Mom happy=You get the good thing with minimal effort.

See, people misnderstand me. It's not about " a single purpose". It's about "maximum effect with minimal effort/expense.

The reaction I got today was much better than the last $100 I spend on a nice dinner out!!!

The fact she had on sweatpants and a tshirt, no makeup didn't matter. It was her ATTITUDE.

She was in "ME WOMAN! YOU LUCKY!" mode. :heart: I felt so....violated....*sniffle* I hope she does it again soon.

Yes, he's almost 10. And lives with his White Trash Harpie Satan With Breasts of a mother, 1,800 miles away. I am very single...if you can call late-30s "very single."
