Mine Mine Mine – Thoughts on Ownership by Baby Ryan
Here’s the thing I’m trying to get across to the servants today. If one of your baby’s has something I want, then it’s mine. MINE! I don’t know how to say it any louder. I think once I rip it out of their pudgy, wet, little, sausage hands, it belongs to me. In case that rule isn’t clear enough, I immediately stick it in my mouth and suck on it to let everyone in the park know that I am the new owner.
Don’t forget to read the last post on Vajazzling and Vatooing your Vajayjay!
Va-What? Va-huh? Va-Why is it so Trendy to Adorn Your Va Jay Jay?
Seriously, either I’m too old or too prudish, but I can’t figure out why women need to do so much vaginal maintenance to get their man’s attention these days. I used to be a vaginal visionary, a pioneer if you will. I was the first on the block to get a Brazilian, a “landing strip,” and the unfortunate “wax-ident” I term, “The Charlie Chaplin.” Well, I don’t have proof that I was the first, but I’m pretty confident. Now, vaginal maintenance has become a truly hair razing experience. Continue reading Study Says ‘Mama’s Boys are Less Stressed’ Phew

When it’s happening, all your parenting instincts are telling you to go in and save your child from this injustice and then finally the teacher pops out and says something like, “It’s okay mom, she’s doing great.” Meanwhile, you hear the dry heaving in the back ground.

Mad Men Inspired Masturbation Article for iVillage
Here is the original article I did for iVillage I gave you a bit more than a teaser this time because a lot was edited out.
