Use of the terms "preggo," "preggers" and "knocked up." Ick.
Show-and-tell based on the Letter of the Week. Michael took a plastic banana to school today because the letter was Y and bananas are yellow. Don't ask me about the week when the letter was X.
Names that look like they were randomly drawn out of a Scrabble bag.
People who say things on Facebook like "Re-post if you are against child abuse" or "Re-post if you hate cancer." People, everyone is against child abuse and no one likes cancer. Stop being so annoying.
Wedding invitations that say things like "Our friendship has blossomed into love and marriage." Blech. We know. You don't need to announce it.
Referring to a child as an "accident" or a "mistake." I don't care if the pregnancy wasn't planned and I don't care if you think it's a funny joke. No child should be made to feel like either of these things.
Overuse of the words "luxury" and "artisanal."
DVDs that take 25 minutes to get to the menu screen.
People who post on Facebook every time they exercise.
Multi-level marketing. All of it.
Wedding invitations that say "Registered at..." right on the invitation.
Strangers and casual acquaintances who ask questions about my family planning.
Games that don't fit in their boxes (Hungry Hungry Hippos, I'm talking to you). Also, the game box redesign that made it so the Monopoly money doesn't fit in its tray.
Misuse of apostrophes (grape's, anyone?) and the wrong usage of you're/your, their/they're/there and it's/its.
People who say, "I could care less." It's couldn't, people. Couldn't, couldn't, couldn't.
Homework for kids in elementary school. Especially homework that is for the "kids" but isn't do-able by anyone without a master's degree in diorama-making.
And last, but not least, referring to husbands as "children." But you already know that, don't you?
Don't you?
If not, you should visit my blog more often.
What things would you like to stop?

"Has the mail came yet?" Yes, I worked in a professional setting at the front desk....and PEOPLE said it every day.
This is quite possibly my favorite blog post of all time. Amen to everything.
You welcome. I'm pretty sure it is you're welcome.
I love making dioramas. They are so much fun, but I can see where it is a sickness in my family!
Facebook posts where someone says they'll delete you as a friend unless you tell them you don't want to be deleted. (And THANK YOU for this list!)
Haha! How about people who dilly-dally through the express checkout line. Don't they know the whole point is to be quick?!? Drives me nuts!
Amen! to it all.
