EXHIBITIONISTS ARE BORN THAT WAY
EXHIBITIONISTS ARE BORN THAT WAY. He's the baby in his crib who cries like he has just swallowed a razor blade, and when you pick him up he immediately stops.
He's the child who, in every home video, sails across the screen in front of everybody like a blurred Frisbee out of control. At the dinner table he will hang a french fry from each nostril and bark like a seal. He pees in the wading pool, clearing it out in 10 seconds flat. He wears his clothes inside out to school and lets his underwear hang out of his tennis shorts. He takes your checkbook to show and tell. When he grows up he frequents karaoke bars and sings "Strangers in the Night" off key.
This was written by the Humorous Homemaker herself, Erma Bombeck. And boy, can you tell this woman truly raised her own kids. If you've never read her work, and you're a wife and/or mom, i highly recommend it - she's hilarious, and spot - on. She has passed away now, but wrote several humorous books,, and tons of magazine articles. Check her out. I've a few more samples of her stuff on this blog, and plan to add more later, as well.
