- Eating raw, spiced, ground-up beef.
- Saying I'm off to pee (putting smallest child in playpen) but really taking a cup of tea upstairs for fifteen minutes with a good book.
- Sneaking pieces of cheese or salami (or both) from the fridge at regular intervals all night.
- Excreting a large poo easily, in one movement, being left with nothing to wipe on either butt or toilet bowl.
- In the shops, shielded by two clothes racks, finally stopping that awful embarrassing itch I've had for five excruciating minutes.
- Picking my nose in the morning and getting that long, connected, nearly dry bogey that starts at the bottom but is lightly attached at the top. (Embarrassing admission: I wrap a tissue around my finger because I'm such a dirtphobe - I can't even secretly pick my nose properly.)
- (With permission) slapping someone on the side of thigh so hard it makes a beautiful noise and leaves a red handprint.
- Putting one child in bed and one in front of a movie so we can have a Saturday afternoon "nap", in daylight, followed by an actual Saturday afternoon nap.
- Peeing in the shower.
- Squeezing out a large blackhead, in one go, painlessly. Not necessarily on myself. If not on myself, painlessness is optional.

You are gorgeous and I can relate to most...but raw beef... and way too much detail in the picking your nose. x
ReplyDeleteWhile I don't understand the raw beef one, I can definitely see the merits to everything else.
ReplyDeleteToo late to deny it all now, babes. It's on the interweb.
ReplyDeleteThat was, er, revealing.
ReplyDeleteGreat, umm i'd never do anything like that of course!
ReplyDeleteI am in agreeance to the raw beef, not my thing but yes to the rest. My hubby would so love #3, if he thought it would actually work. His ploy is getting the kids to go into the basement to get random toys so that as they go down the 2 flights of stairs they will eventually get bored and remain downstaris long enough for...you know ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd I can't spell either apparently so it may be that I lack #3 too much:(
ReplyDeleteOnly one of these would be on my list. No, I'm not going to tell you which one! Love it x
ReplyDeleteI do highly enjoy popping a juicy zit. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteGood lord you Belgians are weird - raw beef??? I get all the rest though although I could only squeeze my own blackheads!
ReplyDelete@Countess, @Badass Geek, @Very Bored Housewife - This particular style of raw beef is so good you should all come over and try it.
ReplyDelete@Ms. Moon - D'oh!
@Xbox - Yeah, no more mystery to be had around here.
@Laura - Of course not. Because you are a lay-dee.
@Meghan - If a basement works for you, go for it.
ReplyDelete@Sandy Calico - Seriously? Only one?
@Aunt Becky - Yeah. Shuddering just thinking about it. It's wrong, but so right.
Hahaha gawd that is gross! But very funny. My husband is asking what I'm laughing about (don't worry, I only revealed the raw beef one). But um, raw beef? Seriously? And you're still alive?
ReplyDeleteI'm late to the party but couldn't let this one pass without a comment.
ReplyDeleteThe images of this post continue to haunt me and I think will do so for some time to come. ESPECIALLY no 6 - remind me never to go clothes shopping with you...
I too enjoy peeing in the shower though - I'll give you that one. That's not gross - it environmentally friendly, saving unnecessary flushing.

Re #8 - YES! Salami just tastes better at 2 am.
ReplyDeleteIs the raw beef called filet américain? You are brave! :-)
ReplyDeleteI really admire your honesty posting that list!
@Lady mama - Very much alive, in fact. And no tape worm. Most Belgians eat this stuff. I allow the kids to eat it. It's fine, as long as it's quite fresh.
ReplyDelete@Josie - Thank you for the bit about the shower. Now I will feel very virtuous next time.
Oh, and the images? You're welcome.
@Meredith - Exactly.
@Fatbrideslim - It is filet americain. But I prefer the spiced stuff to the plain variety. I'm not brave, just Flemish.
Yes, yes, a hundred times yes. I actually have DREAMS about squeezing the perfect blackhead.
ReplyDelete(Hmm, that may have been TMI. But this isn't my blog, so, you know, whatever.)
