Mommy Fail 127 Using the English Language

Mommy Fail 127 Using the English Language

First, I owe you all a HUGE thank you.  You, my dear friends, have kept me in the Blogger Idol competition to the top FOUR.  I really do owe it all to you.  Im not kidding.  So thank you.

Second, I am going to tell you a story about me failing.  It isnt really a mommy fail, but if you want, I could blame it on sleep deprivation or all my brain energy being taken up by avoiding the Duplo block minefield of my house or simply the fact that I have a child.  That would be lying?  Ok, youre right.  This one was just plain me.

To start this story, Im going to ask you to vote for me in Blogger Idol because it is actually relevant to what Im about to tell you (voting has ended; thanks so much for your support!).  This week our task was to post about family, specifically family traditions.  I wrote a post called, "My family traditions may have come from the trash," which should have been followed with, "but that doesnt mean they arent as good as yours," but it wouldnt fit in the box.

And heres the fail: When I first submitted this post, the title read, "My family jewels may have come from the trash."

I showed my husband the post yesterday, after Id turned it in.  I was talkin myself up, telling him how awesome I was, explaining to him that this may very well be the best piece Ive ever written (no, not really).  So he agreed to read it.  Upon reading the title he said, "I bet your dad would be pretty insulted that you think his balls came from a dumpster."

Well...I suppose you have a point there.  I dont really know why it didnt click, but for some reason "family jewels" to me sounded like "heirlooms."  But even dictionary.com admits that family jewels are, in fact, male genitals.

At least if I get voted off this week, I can blame it on testicles.  But, instead, why dont you go vote for me so I dont have to do that.
