Where in the World is Bob Saget?

I used to fall back on: That's for me to know, and you to find out.

Also one of my dad's lines. Only one of us at a time needs to sound like my father...

Every time I take a shower at times that aren't normal for me, my brother comes, knocks on the door, and asks in a voice reminiscent of my dad when he's angry why I'm taking a shower. Normally I'm happy when he asks a why question because for a long time, he didn't get the meaning of the words because and why, but when he's asking why I'm in the shower...my response is usually, "Because I need one, now go away."

That made me laugh and smile. Most do not get quizzed about cleaning themselves.

My daughter was terrible about doing this until she was around 6.

She used to come into the bathroom when I'd shower and pretend she was delivering me a pizza.

"Knock knock knock!" (she'd knock on the shower curtain)

"PIZZAMAN!"

"Gee, thanks honey (soap getting in my eyes)...what type did you bring."

"PEPPERONI!!!!"

"Nom nom, it's so good. Thanks!"

(she'd walk away...3 minutes later)

"Knock knock knock!"

Oy. But sometimes it be nice to have those kinda days back again.

Yes, which is why I played along.

She's still got a bit of that, but is turning into a young lady instead of a little girl...

Whilst I'm glad to see her grown up, I sortof wish I could have frozen her at age 4 or 5. Great age for kids. Young enough to still be your "baby", old enough that they can clean themselves, dress themselves and use the restroom on their own...

I suppose she could have a UTI, but her inability to hold it all night has increased significantly in the past two years. She is a senior (almost 12 years old), small breed (less than 7 lbs) dog.

The last time I mentioned to the vet that she was getting up during the night, he looked at me at said, "Well, don't you?" I think he called me old.

I think I would have kicked him in the shin.

It's partially the age. At 12 I remember arguing with my parents about needing a shower. They have similar fights with him. And it's partially that he's a Sheldon. Very very scheduled. You may not shower at different times than usual, he has to eat three meals a day, PeopleMover has to be the first thing we ride upon entering MK...like living with Sheldon in many, many ways.

This is almost not funny. I've often asked my children why they ONLY need something when the bathroom door is closed and the water is running in the shower.

It gets worse. When my son was home from college he could stay out until the wee hours. At any point during the day if I called his cell (that I paid for at the time) he'd screen his calls, sometimes he'd return the call. But if he woke up or came home and I wasn't home he'd call me to find out where I was or what I was doing.

The worst one was when he was doing his College Program and I had not heard at all from him, no photos, texts anything in over a week and he wasn't returning mine, he wasn't much on calling but I'd get texts with photos. My Mom has a cell that she never uses and the area code was the same as most of his friends back home unlike ours. I had my Mom call him from her cell. He answered and got reamed out by his Grandma that he worships and was told to call his Mother and never to pull this again. ET Phoned Home.

Bath time was always one of my favorite things when I was little. I had a box of toys next to the tub in each of the houses two bathrooms and my fave scented bubble bath...strawberry!! I also loved swimming so the entire summer was spent at the pool. It's obvious that I'm Aquarius.

I still have my Ariel bath time dolls, somewhere in this house. Probably the sea wees and my little pony sea ponies too!

I loved 6 months to 3 years old. Fun yep not old enough to begin to plot ahead.

"You're in my seat."

He's said those exact words to me actually. He's got a spot on the couch and will tell you to move if you're in it. Also if he's playing pretend and you're in the wrong spot, he'll let you know. We've also had the entire episode with the bird happen (minus the bird getting in the house, but my brother has reacted that way before!) It's actually very easy to explain to people when they ask what living with someone with autism is like. "Have you seen The Big Bang Theory?" "Yes" "Well, it's like living with Sheldon, except he doesn't have Monday pajamas." "Oh, that makes sense."

Yeah, I agree.

My dad was knock-your-socks-off awesome. But one of him was enough!

Goodnight, gang. The sweetest of dreams to you all.

And, also, let us not forget...

"You're in my seat."

Nothing wrong with that.
I don't let people sit in my seat either.

ETA: I actually call it my "spot".
I can even boot the dog out of my spot, with a single dirty look.

Same here. Only the cat glares back. Everyone else makes themselves scarce. I like my butt groove and even favor a certain pillow to lounge against.

MEAT LOAF!!!!!

Oh my! My DH still blasts the Meatloaf CD but the album still sits in a place of honor.

I can still play I am Woman on the piano by heart. I love playing songs I can pound with feeling.

@donaldtoo Is there a picture of Pup on this thread somewhere? Missed most of the past few days.

@MOXOMUMD is going to be responsible for me knocking Steve off the like list.
