Mrs. Hanson

Can I just give a quick chime on accents? Minnesotans do NOT talk like the female character in Fargo. Maybe in some farm communities, but that was very exaggerated. I do hear a "Deez dem houses o'r der" sometimes. That was "these them houses over there, btw. I have let out a "We are from Minnesooooota" once but I was talking to....a Canadian!" I love my state. I could talk about it for hours. If anyone wants to visit the Land of 10,000 Lakes, get in touch with me and I will show you most beautiful parts of the state!

That is me with tv shows and someone is in a hospital bed and the siderails are down. PULL THEM AND LOCK THEM INTO PLACE! Grandpa could tumble right out of there!

See, and this is where Mrs. Buzzsaw Hanson shows up and says "Who do you think you are?" at the neighborhood picnic. Or....I would not go to the picnic as I find them all unpleasant.

Nestle's Crunch? Denchu Grip? AN ENEMA BAG?

If I had the Xanaax guy nattering on about a bidet and wanting me to convert I would have a BOX of tequila in my house. And lots of ice!

I bet the time she was in China Mom and Dad were celebrating every night.

Do NOT insult those two legends!

I am also concerned (why do I care?) that she is nursing him to sleep and not reading paper books to him. I had two kids on my caseload who were in fifth grade (one should have been in sixth) who were still learning letter sounds and reading at End Of Grade One. I asked, when you were little did anyone read to you at night? Nope, I watched Youtube (or whatever God Only Knows) until I went to sleep. I had no kids at grade level, and that is fine - my superpower is helping kids to read, write, etc. But geezaloo! I can hear her now: "Why is my son not reading well? IT IS YOUR FAULT."

I agree. My hubby, who is really very kind, said: "Let's all put them in a room together and NOT respond to the many demands for food. Their attitudes would change quite quickly."

I think you are exactly right. You must REALLY not want to muck it if you wait for someone to come from Africa! Fun fact: Back in 1990 I had a guy ask me out who was related the president of Cameroon! I said no, just wasn't vibing on him in that way.

Watched him tell her to shut the f*ck up and it was worth every second. And Mom just stood there and watched, in silence. That spoke volums to me. Bile lecturing his wife was hard to listen to. Egyptian Tim is more annoying - if that is possible.

Does no one want to WORK anymore?

I am out for the season but always here for the snark, but I do need, not want, to see Kobe snap at Emily. May have to get popcorn and a refreshing lemonade to go along with it!

I have a neighbor who attempted to explain special education to me. Dude, I am double licensed and will obtain a third by December.

So he was nice enough to mansplain driving to you?

You are spot on about him if he was a white dude who is a bible church camp man she would be all over him and buying a ring for him to give to Emily.

Depeche mode? Let's enjoy the silence and not watch this show!

Well.....will Ari want to keep him in a plastic bubble?

Saved by zero!

What? You mean reddit.....could lie?

Assholy Mean Toxic Kids will be Assholy Mean Toxic Kids! I have a teacher friend who, after teaching for two years, is leaving the profession. Kids are rude, continually try to talk over her and attempt to argue. She is like I am out. My favorite part of teaching is when kids are rude to their own parents, or mock them, roll their eyes at them or any other disrespectful behavior and they laugh and say "Oh that Billy! He just loves to argue!" (Or fill in any behavior.) I just internally think, hmmmmm....how is THAT going to work out for you in a few years? Call me with details! I can be the biggest Petty Betty around, lol!

Jibri, for most part, seems okay, but I would find him EXHAUSTING to be around. Like he would always need to be "on."

Fixed that for you!

Fellow Cappy in the house! Capricorns are awesome! Someone on reddit looked it up - Cameroon does not have reciprocity (sp?) so nope, he should not be driving. I do not feel sorry for Parents Emily - you failed to make boundaries (or maybe Emily pushed back who knows) now you have this GROWN UNEMPLOYED MAN living in your house, eating your food, mounting your daughter (we can assume.) He can't legally work, he can't drive, does Emily have a job? Dad still works so he can get out but if I were that mom I would be like yeah, I am coming home at 5, dinner is being made by you two, served at 6. You two are cleaning up to my satisfaction then preparing me a vodka sour. No, I am feeling more like a sweet moscato tonight. Get used to this, Emily and Kobin, as you will be doing this every. Damn. Day. until the sun burns out. No kidding! What was the Caribbean girl's name? Aryanna? Memphis and Ari as well. Now Olga is having another baby. I am sure I am three months behind with that news. Those two seem determined to make crappy decisions.

Well I live in Minnesota so it could snow, lol. (It did snow in mid May in 2013. The darn weather pattern would not move into Wisconsin!) No, sounds like she was very sheltered and taken care of as a child and teen.
