While playing with Mia tonight...
Me: She likes to take the balls from the ball popper and put them in her teacups.
Chris: I can see that.
Me: And then serve it to you. We drink a lot of ball tea around here.
Chris: Lucky you.
Me: Kind of adds a whole new dimension to the concept of teabagging.
Chris: (Blank stare, attempted jokes about T-ball, Mr. T.)

Teabagging was way better than a Mr. T joke. You obviously won.

Such an educational blog you have here ;-) Sadly, the sweet innocent girl that I am, I totally already knew what that way.

Is it really that bad that I just had to ask my husband what teabagging means? And now my ears are burning.

Man, Chris needs to give you credit when credit is due!

Oh, it's never funny when it involves their little girls, is it?
I'm sure if it was YOUR ball tea it would be hilarious.

You just made me giggle...first time all day (it's 9:30 pm), THANKS! Ya know, sometimes men just don't like it when you're funnier than they are....

You done good. Very clever. Chris was just caught off guard, or sacked, by a swift kick in the comedic nuts.

He he!
Your card arrived yesterday, thank you very much, Mia is such a cutie!

Like I said, sometimes that boy has no sense.
Posted by Jeff | December 21, 2006 7:26 AM
I appreciate it, and in fact was going to suggest the line had you not already brilliantly placed it ;)
Merry Christmas to the Fish-Cactus household, in case I get lost at the mall today :)

Recently in a college course I took the professor advised us not to utilize "wikipedia" as it was not a reliable source. You just proved that professor WRONG! :-)
Posted by Kristy | December 21, 2006 8:33 AM
Hillarious! I'm glad I swallowed my mouthfull of coffee before I started reading. Thanks for the laugh this morning; I really needed it.
Posted by Jessie | December 21, 2006 8:59 AM
1. It's agood thing I already knew what teabagging meant and didn't have to click that link. My boss just walked by when I was reading this. He doesn't care too much about the blog, but the wikipedia page might have disturbed him a bit I imagine.
2. My aunt just sent me a link to that very same toy. She got it for Anya for Christmas. I think she'll love it. (and this is very weird, because I just commented at your other place that my relatives send me links to the toys they buy us)
Posted by ktjrdn | December 21, 2006 9:01 AM
oh yeah, and 3. very funny. You know he would have laughed for days if he had come up with it
Posted by ktjrdn | December 21, 2006 9:02 AM
Sooo funny. Will be even funnier when Mia starts throwing "teabagging" out there. ;)
Posted by Traci | December 21, 2006 9:27 AM
I didnt need to know any of this, warning me next time! Hee Hee just kidding, but I did learn something today.
Posted by linda | December 21, 2006 9:42 AM
i told you that was the best toy ever! :)
Posted by ali | December 21, 2006 10:04 AM
oh, dude. yours was much better.
Posted by Pammer | December 21, 2006 10:45 AM
An excellently timed teabagging joke is always a winner!
Posted by lizgwiz | December 21, 2006 12:03 PM
Ha! Obviously this round goes to you.

I have such an embarassing story about this that I really considered posting anonymously.
I was a corporate classroom trainer and as part of the course I had to divide the class into 2 teams. Each team chose a name. One team chose to be The Teabags, and I was so focused on the course and getting through it that I didn't catch the meaning of the name.
One of the managers actually came up to me afterwards and mentioned it, I was so embarassed.
Posted by jessica | December 21, 2006 12:40 PM
I sure thought the joke was funny
Posted by Tasha | December 21, 2006 2:40 PM

Rylan's getting on of those from Santa. I can't wait to play with it. I mean, watch him play with it. Whatever.

Posted by hot-mommy | December 22, 2006 2:14 AM

Wow. I had no idea there was even a term "tea bagging" let alone know what it meant.
Does this mean that there is more to the character's name T-Bag on Prison Break?
Oh... he's so much worse in my mind now than he was before. Ew.
Thanks, Beth. Thanks for that.
Posted by dawn | December 23, 2006 11:57 AM
Your Teabagging joke... was PERFECTLY BRILLIANT.
I want to be you when I grow up :)
