Bad mother, bound for hell

2010! OMG, it is my first diary entry of 2010.

I am going to burn in hell. The kids have no school tomorrow (snow day). My youngest (age 13) stayed up to watch "1000 Ways to Die." He knows he is not supposed to do this! Why? Because, without fail, something on that program freaks him out. In tonight's episode, this guy took too many Viagra tablets, and it shut him down. What really got him though was the one where a rat bit the guy in the eye while he was sleeping, and he got some kind of bacterial infection that spread, thus becoming one of the 1000 ways to die.

So, I did the mom thing and reassured him that we do not have rats. He might die, but it is statistically impossible that he will die from such a thing! Not only that, the program "1000 Ways to Die" is there to show all the stupid ways and weird ways people die, not the normal ways! He was calm and reassured...

until I found the Ratatouille toy rat, said "Catch!", and tossed it to him.

I am going to hell.

And I can predict that my death will probably be by a rat, albeit plastic and lodged in my windpipe, not eating my eye.
