Merry Christmas Tuh All Mi Yardie Dem

[jawi876 2]

Dear Santa,

I've been a good mom all year. I've fed, cleaned and cuddled my children on demand, visited the doctor's office more than my doctor and sold sixty-two cases of candy bars to raise money to plant a shade tree on the school playground. I was hoping you could spread my list out over several Christmases, since I had to write this letter with my son's red crayon, on the back of a receipt in the laundry room between cycles, and who knows when I'll find anymore free time in the next 18 years.

Here is my Christmas wishes:

I'd like a pair of legs that don't ache (in any color, except purple, which I already have) and arms that don't hurt or flap in the breeze, but are strong enough to pull my screaming child out of the candy aisle in the grocery store.

I'd also like a waist, since I lost mine somewhere in the seventh month of my last pregnancy.

If you're hauling big ticket Items this year I'd like fingerprint resistant windows and a radio that only plays adult music, a television that doesn't broadcast any programs containing talking animals, and a refrigerator with a secret compartment behind the crisper where I can hide to talk on the phone.

On the practical side, I could use a talking doll that says, 'Yes, Mommy' to boost my parental confidence, along with two kids who don't fight and three pairs of jeans that will zip all the way up without the use of power tools.

I could also use a recording of Tibetan monks chanting 'Don't eat in the living room' and 'Take your hands off your brother,' because my voice seems to be just out of my children's hearing range and can only be heard by the dog.

If it's too late to find any of these products, I'd settle for enough time to brush my teeth and comb my hair in the same morning, or the luxury of eating food warmer than room temperature without it being served in a Styrofoam container.

If you don't mind, I could also use a few Christmas miracles to brighten the holiday season. Would it be too much trouble to declare ketchup a vegetable? It will clear my conscience immensely. It would be helpful if you could coerce my children to help around the house without demanding payment as if they were the bosses of an organized crime family.

Well, Santa, the buzzer on the dryer is calling and my son saw my feet under the laundry room door. I think he wants his crayon back. Have a safe trip and remember to leave your wet boots by the door and come in and dry off so you don't catch cold.

Help yourself to cookies on the table but don't eat too many or leave crumbs on the carpet.

Yours Always,

MOM...

P. S. One more thing...you can cancel all my requests if you can keep my children young enough to believe in Santa.

*Santa has asked that this gets passed on to all the mommies you know.

LMAO!!!! This is SOOOOOOOOO FUNNY and OH so true! Thanks for the laugh, I really needed it.

Ladies have you ever wondered why after giving birth, you seem to get blessed with extra patience.

Here is a perfect example of why: My son had a learning system that hooked up to the Tv, I moved the game into his room and when I did, the game stopped working, can only hear it but can't see it on the tv screen. So dumb me feeling sorry for my firstborn, buys a NEW system for x-mas, so mr. jengles hooks it up yesterday same problem, mr jengles says oops must be a short inna di TV. So being the true born yardie that he is mr jengles goes to work on the TV, starts switching stations around (don't even ask me how he did this) and then discovers the problem....my firstborn put a quarter inna di TV.

Luckily for all involved I was laid low with a stomach virus yesterday, so i couldn't express my displeasure in my normal manner.

I had a wonderful Christmas. I trust that yours was wonderful as well.

There isn't a lot of TNT interaction on the boards...feel free to join us in the Yardie thread or even My name ain't Stella thread started by me. We are a loving, crazy cool bunch! If the patois is too thick, just ask and we will be happy to explain it.

I have always wanted to go to TNT, but it's much cheaper to go to Jamaica. One day, I will make it there I hope.

Thank you very much. My Christmas was marvelous. Good to see the family, for sure!

I think I will start hopping on the Yardie threads, since there's not a lot of Trini folk around . Though I must warn you, I'm what you would probably call "a yank" and don't really know any Trini or Jamaican speak! I'll probably be too shy to ask too much and will try to google some of it.

It's cheaper to go to Jamaica? I can get round-trip tickets to T&T for about $450 on a good day, through Continental. Of course, I guess it's cheaper to go where you have family & friends who can shack you up for a week or two

Here's to a happy new year to finish off the Christmas season
