Don't Drink and Drive!

One day, when my oldest daughter was about 4, she was playing inside some clothes racks with her brother while I was shopping.  About 20 minutes after we had arrived, my daughter pops out of the clothes and shouts, “Mommy, you know you shouldn’t drink and drive!?”  What the he!!?  Two seconds ago, I was a regular mom.  Now, several people in the near vicinity were looking right at me with looks of judgment on their faces.  I was mortified, to say the least.  She kept repeating it and I swear she got louder and louder as she went on.  I was trying to tell her that it was ok to drink water and soda while driving.  If anyone was listening to my explanation, they were probably thinking that that is exactly what an alcoholic would say.

The last time she said, or should I say shouted, it, I quickly joined my son inside the clothes rack, while grabbing my daughter down and inside with me.  I was trying to figure out how the heck to get out of that store without someone calling social services.  Yes, kids say the darnedest things! 

Catch!

Lightning Speed!

Something that I have noticed is that many of our providers seem to throw new charges on our bills each month to see which ones will 'stick'.  I am convinced that this is how these companies make most of their money.  It is often random and with unique titles.  I would love the opportunity to have one line on one of these bills one month to make up a service fee and then retire on what it brings in.

The greatest offender of this is Comcast.  I have had to call every month for about 18 months to get the bills straight, and they still aren't.  One of the charges that I refuse to pay is for their Blast.  I asked what this was for.  They told me it was for faster internet speed.  I asked why we had to pay for fast internet speed if they were our internet provider and why would slow internet speed be the base internet that they provided.  Wouldn't they want to just provide the fastest that they could to everyone?  Our electric company doesn't provide us low electricity, thus dull lights, and then charge us more if we want the full charge.
