Posted by: didofoot on December 16, 2002 04:51 PMfor good measure, toddler michele poo-poos in her pampers, pulls them down and, scooping up some of the slimy gunk, flings it at sean's head. Pullling the unwieldy diaper back up she commences a song and dance routine of the 'i'm a big kid now' ditty. moons haim and walks out with even more dignity than the first time.

Posted by: michele on December 16, 2002 05:55 PMi like the implication that only babies spell my name with two l's as well. (i feel your pain, michelllllllle.)
and by the way, i've sought medical help for the chronic throat clearing. i still can't get it to leave. i can never be a radio personality and i'm going to be a terrible trial lawyer. thanks for making me cry again, allen.
it reminds me of this time when i AR-CHHHEEEMMM!
