Keep in mind that I'm a jerk, I would tape a note to it...
"Do you want me to behave as though I was this stupid (box) yes, (box) no?"

SCF.

May I be excused to the bathroom to clean up this mess, please Teacher?

You're missing only the red pencil (font color)!

There's always overdramatic ironic/sarcastic hysteria, which works better than the direct approach.

Ms. Footer: Hi honey I'm back! Where's our little lad?
Mr. Footer: Hon, (tearfully) he's gone! I -- I forgot the water on your list, and he got dehydrated in this heat. They couldn't bring him back! I tried to reach you on the cell, but I lost the paper that had your number on it! (pounds fist angrily) Why WOULD you leave him with me? You know I can't handle the most basic parenting task! You must be a terrible mother!
Ms. Footer: What a fucking loser. I want a divorce.
Mr. Footer: Of course! Because I'm such an idiot! Better give me a piece of paper with checkboxes on it for how to do the divorce paperwork!

OK, that didn't exactly go like I thought it would.

Not so bad. It's not like she told when to eat or shit. And if you're getting alot of sex, don't complain.

(Box) get jar of honey
(Box) get tarp
(Box) give Jr. some Benadryl
(Box) get bondage equipment
(Box) get thee to the bedroom
(Box) take off your clothes
continue with boxes and fun...

That's what I was thinking. Maybe she's just trying to be funny.

Yah, a bigger crayon may help until she develops fine motor skills.

It's stress. I told you you should have finished her lesson plans in June. :p

I'm a note writer.

I work with idiots and I let that spill over into my personal life.

I write REALLY descriptive notes...but I AM a control freak.

I use * though, not check boxes and my writing is waaaay neater :p

Aliantha 08-29-2006 01:17 AM

I liked the last line. The rest can be forgotten I reckon. (unless you forgot to do something lol)

If I had small children, I'd probably leave notes for my Mr.

zippyt 08-29-2006 08:34 PM

Oh Foot , just leave a check list like rkzenrage said , or worse , small foot can't read yet can he ??

My wife leaves me Honey do lists as well , but no check boxes , I check it up to stress

footfootfoot 08-29-2006 08:46 PM

Thanks to everyone for their input. I wish I had the time to reply to each of your replies, but replies tend to replicate...

I think it is stress and I am working on lesson plans for the fall of 07. Not too far from the truth, since I often come up with refinements to her plans while en route to class. (back when the inch was only a millimeter)

Anyway, we are now undergoing the talking cure. We'll see how it goes, already the air is clearer, but marriage is work rather than "all beer and skittles" as I was led to believe.

(I hope UT and Jaquelita aren't reading this...)

I think the check boxes were an attempt at graphic design.

footfootfoot 08-29-2006 08:47 PM

By the way, I wish i had made the poll results visible so I could find out which one of you traitors thought she had reasons to suspect me. :p

WabUfvot5 08-29-2006 09:53 PM

In the good old days such worrying about trivial things was carefully managed with valium. Mmmm.... valium.

rkzenrage 08-29-2006 10:13 PM

Did you talk to her about it yet? I am curious as to her excuse/reason for it.
