This is a difficult list, but I’ll give it a go.
I can pop my right wrist. Just the right one. I think it may or may not have something to do with my carpal tunnel. It may not even be the joint popping but the tendon snapping over my bones. Either way, it feels so good when I do it that I haven’t been able to stop.
I can make babies come out of my body without any pain medicine.
I have a fantastic talent for holding in my personal gasses until I am not around anyone, including my husband. Although we reached an agreement over a year ago, we still do not “crack the cheese” around one another.
I can breastfeed while shopping. If I have a sling, I can usually nurse while walking around the grocery store. I have also recently been spotted nursing during a choir rehearsal.
I can make dolphin noises. And no, I will not demonstrate.
Today’s topic is “6 flavors or types of ice cream that you love or hate” You can answer this with a list of 6 words, 6 phrases, 6 sentences, 6 paragraphs, 6 photos, 6 videos, etc . . .
Yep. This is the easiest Small Talk Six ever. I’ll try to rank my favorites in order from least to most. Here we go!
Strawberry
Mint Chocolate Chip
Vanilla Bean with Hershey’s Syrup
French Silk
Cookie Dough
Oreo Ice Cream of any brand. I’m talking store-bought, Dairy Queen blizzard, whatever. Just throw some Oreos in there and I’m going to gobble it up.
Today’s topic is “6 things you think would be great about being a rockstar (or just famous in general).” You can answer this with a list of 6 words, 6 phrases, 6 sentences, 6 paragraphs, 6 photos, 6 videos, etc . . .
I have severe social anxiety, so it’s hard for me to think about ever being famous. Cause you would be surrounded by people. Constantly. I would have to take many xanaxes or something. But these things might be great:
Eating what I want to without having to cook! I would so hire a personal chef. Who wouldn’t? And then I could eat delicious organic vegan meals without having to worry about who’s going to cook them.
I would also hire a personal assistant. That way, I don’t have to think about my schedule. I am notorious for double-booking on my calendar and having to rearrange things cause of my own stupidity. If I had someone to plan stuff FOR me, I’d be set.
Housekeeping? If I was famous, I hope I would have enough money to hire someone to clean my house. Holy crap, that would be awesome.
Speaking of houses, I would get rid of this one and build a better one.
(Somehow this turned into a money post…) I think it would be great to have a trampoline room in my house.
I want to wear sunglasses indoors. I think you can only wear them indoors if you’re famous. Otherwise, you look like a douche.
Today’s topic is “6 things you think the father of your children deserve to have.” You can answer this with a list of 6 words, 6 phrases, 6 sentences, 6 paragraphs, 6 photos, 6 videos, etc . . .
The father of my children deserves a lot. And not just a swift kick in the pants.
He deserves a new job. For years, he has worked some crap jobs, sometimes three at a time. When I finally graduated college, it was his turn to finish his degree. So he did and is currently finishing up his teacher certification. Unfortunately, pickin’s are slim around here for teaching jobs. I’ve lost count of all the interviews he’s had. He deserves to have a steady job with good pay, decent vacation time, and it would be nice if he really liked it, too.
A massage! I’ve been able to get massages thanks to some generous family members, but he has never been to a professional masseuse. I’m not strong enough and my carpal tunnel bothers me too much to give him a decent massage myself.
A nap. I always take a nap on Sundays. It’s become a tradition ever since I was pregnant with Simon. I hate to give it up for one day, but I think he deserves it.
A piece of electronic equipment that doesn’t break. In the past couple years, he has gone through three flash drives, a DVD/VCR combo (the DVD part works fine but the VCR part broke), a stereo (it is very temperamental but still works…when it wants to), two MP3 players, and if you count appliances, a dryer and a vacuum.
A vacation. Don’t we all! I always go on choir trips and retreats, but he has never been away from all of us for any amount of time. For Father’s Day this year, I gave him a weekend for himself. He’s going up to the mountains with his nerd club friends to hike, drink beers, and talk about philosophy.
A day without yelling. For just one day, the kids need to stop fighting and doing stupid crap. Jamie deserves to laugh and have fun with the kids, not play referee and warden.

Today’s topic is “6 things about your children that you are proud of.” You can answer this with a list of 6 words, 6 phrases, 6 sentences, 6 paragraphs, 6 photos, 6 videos, etc .
Well, this should be easy.
Corey is a great reader. He reads at a fifth grade level and adores the library! I’m so glad that we’ve raised at least one bookworm…so far.
Simon potty-learned early! The older boys took until they were three to even start, but Simon was all about the potty at the age of two. We’re still working on nighttime, but I know we’ll get there.
Aiden excelled in Kindergarten. He never went to pre-k, so we weren’t sure how he was going to handle it. He met all of his goals and passed all the requirements to make it to first grade. Yes, I cried at his graduation.
I’m proud of Timothy (and myself!) for overcoming my oversupply issues without a nursing strike. WHEW.
All three of the older boys are slowly getting their room in order thanks to the House Fairys. Yeehaw!
And finally, I’m proud of all my kids for just being so darn cute.
