Zits/ So, I'm on a roll, big deal

Ok, so this is my 3rd post in about 1/2 hour. Grace told me to go ahead and blog while the wine is flowing, and now everything seems interesting.

So, my oldest son (who is 13, will be 14 in Dec.) just asked me to pop a zit for him. Ok, my husband is now going "oh my god, you are going to write about this?" Yes honey, women like to share experiences, guys skip this one, you won't care.

So I did the whole sanitary thing, washed my hands, had him get an Oxy Clean Pad ready. And then, I did it! I took his not so little chin in my hands and I used my years of experience to pop that sucker! I explained (in a very clinical way) what I was doing. "You don't want to hurt yourself, just get rid of the white stuff in the zit." I had him gently dab the area with his Oxy Clean Pad afterwards. The cutest thing was what he said just before I did it: "Is it going to hurt?" As much of a MAN as he is trying to be, he still wants to know if he is going to experience an "owey." The funniest thing about the whole thing was when I had to stop and ask him "Which one" in regards to which zit I was supposed to pop. His response: "The big monster one."

Priceless.

Yippee! Blogging and drinking! Then all of a sudden you're waxing lyrically about acne. You're such a good Mama, Kris. Molly won't let me near her 'big monster' ones. However, she and her girlfriends pop each others' zits. I don't think that's an activity with the guys. And this plays into your accurate observation, 'women like to share experiences.'

You're going to think I'm a monster FREAK, but I love popping zits. Especially those really deep, hard to reach kind. Yes, I know I'm weird. I'm seeking professional help for it, really I am.

I've also been known to peel people, you know, after a trip to the beach after the sunburn goes away? So cool!

I really sound like a psycho loser. I think because it's late and I'm tired. How's that for a TERRIBLE first time comment on your blog?
