Ahem….It’s For Fertility

The faithful readers out there are aware that Sassy has a project in her first grade class, and that I have roped several of my family members into participating.  You may recall that Flat Sassy visited New Mexico, the International Balloon Festival, and Washington DC. Her first grade classmates were the most impressed with her visiting the Lincoln Memorial.  I have to agree with them….the memorial is stunning and provoking. 

Most recently, Flat Sassy is with my Mom-in-law in the Caribbean.  We haven’t received the photos yet, but I hope she’s wearing sunscreen.

My uncle and his wife have been traveling in Thailand this month and it didn’t take much convincing to get them to agree to let Flat Sassy tag along.  I posted about this a while ago,  I was so excited because I was totally going to kick the ass of all the other first grade Moms.

Well, we received some of the pictures via email (I LOVE technology!) while they are still in Thailand.

These are pretty cool, huh?  I am so jealous of Flat Sassy!  She’s not even Buddhist!  I shall practice my zen breathing and try to find the love…..namaste. 

There were a couple of pictures that …..well…..I am a romance novelist after all and a mom and an adult woman of some experience…..but still.  I had to look at this for a couple of minutes to decide that what I was looking at was really what I was looking at.  Then I blushed furiously.

THE UNDER 18 AND PARENTS OF ISABELLA SHOULD DISCONTINUE READING NOW!

I can’t even tell you how thankful I am that Flat Sassy is not in this picture.  Although, my friend Michelle suggested that if she were, it would make an excellent picture for her wedding day.  I’m just twisted enough to agree.

Michelle and I also pondered the following:  So, say you want to travel to Thailand to make an offering at the penis shrine, do you just walk through the airport with that under your arm?  What about the carry on luggage rule?  Do you need to buy it it’s own seat?  What about customs? 

Michelle and I have a lot of questions.  I’m sure Michelle is still sitting at home and “pondering” the penis shrine.
