Not in MY house!

Something funny happened Monday night at boot camp that I remembered this morning.

"What are you getting for Mothers' Day?" I told them I want a macaroni necklace and some ink.
"Ink? Do you do calligraphy?" BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Nope, a tattoo. Actually two. A swallow with a banner in its' mouth. Each banner will have one of my boys' names on it and their b-day. That's what I want and I can't wait.


16 year old to her Mom. "Moooooommmm I want a tattoo on my wrist when I'm 18!!!"
Mom Through a xanax induced slur "Over my dead body. As long as you're in my house you won't get a stupid tattoo".
I smile and wink at the daughter. At the rate that kid is going, she'll be having a shotgun wedding @ 17 instead of a dreaded TATTOO!

My husband's aunt and uncle make comments like "You know, they were covered in big tattoos" and look at me and say something like "Oh sorry."

Like I have a disease.

I once had a young girl I train tell me "You're not setting a very good example!" She was 12.
Then her Dad drove her home after drinking 3 glasses of red wine in the restaurant upstairs.

DUI? No problem. Tattoos- eeeek!
