In 'dis house

I love these signs....

I remember when I first saw one of these. My first impression was "awe! so sweet!"  They became pretty popular and though I never bought one, I always wanted to. I love them, their message, and what they stand for.

I also love the "dream" that it paints.......

Wouldn't it be amazing if these things DID happen in "our house"?

Isn't this what most families aim for? A household that says "Im sorry", "prays together", "helps each other", "laughs together", "forgives" and "tells the truth"

But, when you really think about it... isn't this portrayal of a household slightly................

HILARIOUS?

Why isn't there a sign like this....

In this house....
We fight, verbally and physically
We slam doors and spit on each other
We say "youre not my best friend anymore" and "youre annoying"
We hug each other only when forced to or when we can cop a quick feel
We have royal screw-ups and make each other cry
We are messy slobs
We swear out loud and under our breath
Our beds are un-made, the floor is sticky, our washcloths smell musty, and the trash is overflowing.

In this house we are lazy and we watch TV shows about committing murder and a talking monkey
We eat chocolate chips for breakfast and cottage cheese for dinner
We skip bath time simply because we are too tired to bathe
We push each other, trip each other, smack each other,  scare each other on purpose, and tickle each other til someone gets kicked in the face
We laugh at each other when we make mistakes and call each other degrading names, like poopy-butt, nut-job, dirtbag, and asshole
We drink too much alcohol on school nights and go to bed too late
Our iPad's and iphone's demand most of our love and affection and usually get it before anyone else
We read "Hoofbeats", "OK!", and ""Mad" magazine instead of storybooks with happy endings
We all fall asleep in the same bed, but wake up in different ones
We over-fill the washer and sometimes sleep with the front door wide-ass open unlocked

In this house our dog sometimes goes without food and leaves "surprises" for us on the floor

In this house we ignore the dog surprises and wait for someone else to clean it up
We lie through our teeth and keep dirty little secrets
We have nightmare's instead of dreams and we carry grudges
We sometimes forget to brush our teeth, wear mis-matched socks with holes, and our feet stink.

In this house we love each other so damn much and would freakin' die if anything happened to one of us.

Isn't that a little more like your house?

No? Just mine? Ok then. So be it.
