Most Idiotical Buttcheek and Other Honors!

    Did you hear?

    Tonight at bedtime Five named me his “Most idiotical buttcheek” as a term of affection.

    That went over well.

    Last month he deemed me “The Most Annoying Boss of Everything” likely based on my slow response time to MY HOT CHOCOLATE LOOKS LIKE A MOUTH QUICK GET OUT OF THE BATHROOM AND GET YOUR iPHONE QUICK RIGHT NOW I SAID RIGHT NOW.

    Or maybe I earned the title due to my never driving him to school, coupled with twice-daily illogical explanation of “because we live 2.75 blocks away and you’re a bi-ped.”

    In any case, it’s hard to balance so many tiaras. Luckily mine are stackable.

    Yesterday I learned that I made Babble’s Top 100 Mom Blogs of 2012, placing in the top 10 for “funniest” and “well-written.” I’ve felt vulnerable about writer-stuff lately, so this came as a welcome surprise. Thanks to Babble and especially to their panelists for this honor, and for sponsoring my over-the-moon moment. Yours in gratitude, Idiotical Buttcheek.

    1. Congratulations, Idiotical Buttcheek! and that’s coming from a bonafide Mean Idient (Idiot). I’m so glad you’ve shared your humor and heart with the world, dear Ann.

    2. Congrats! I like my Tiaras not only stackable, but “transportable” so I can wear them at sporting events and school functions. True dat. :)-Franticmommy

    3. Congrats, Ann.

      Vulnerable about your stuff? That’s why you keep pushing higher and higher into the stratospheric ranks of blogs that leave me wondering HOW THE HECK DOES SHE THINK OF THAT?

      You dont just do posts or tell stories: you play with words in ways I dont see elsewhere.

      You experiment and while that may leave you feeling wobbly, it’s trying some muscles I dont even have.

      Congrats on the Babble validation. Congrats on LTYM’s 24 cities. Congrats on wordplay so intriguing you could be a board game.

      Wonderful to know you, Ann. I am grateful for AnnsRants.

    4. So, here’s the thing for me. The troubling aspect of your new crown is that it only concerns itself with one buttcheek. What about the other one? I’m left with this hole in my brain, trying in vain to fill it with the other buttcheek.

      Oh and you rock and should never feel vulnerable about your writing. Now that I said it, you must stop it right now and forever.

      So there.

    5. Congrats to you!
      As writers, I don’t know that it’s possible to not feel vulnerable. In fact, just today I received an email full of criticisms and a list of new edits I get to do for my book and I can’t wait to tackle them. Can you feel the heaviness of my sarcasm?
      You are super-duper talented. I mean it.
      By the way, I really thought that was a mouth.
