Shorts.

While working at the yarn store, I often find myself yelling, “Oh, fun!” whenever someone talks about the project she is working on. My Oh Funs are annoying, brainless, and as unpredictable as an explosive sneeze.

Random knitter: And when I’m done with the scarf, I think I’ll use the leftover yarn for a hat.

Me: Oh, fun!

Today, after my 83rd “Oh, fun!” I wondered how people would respond if I substituted another F word for the Fun.

Random knitter: I’m determined to learn how to knit two socks at a time on circular needles.

Me: Oh, f**k!

Meredith, while in the tub this evening, told Jeff that she has some good news and some bad news.

MC: The good news? We’ll be landing in a few minutes. The bad news? It’s going to be a crash landing.

Me: Oh, fun! ‘ ‘ ‘text/javascript’>

  1. My child is camping with Dr Pig on the “Y Princess” campout. They will return home tomorrow. I have been warned that they will be so filthy that I will want to burn all their clothes.

    I have been treating the pain of suffering through a silent house (except for the dog) by knitting a scarf with Wollmeise. It’s a rough weekend down here.

  2. Today, after my 83rd “Oh, fun!” I wondered how people would respond if I substituted another F word for the Fun.

    I tried doing that on the phone once, substituting “Bite me!” for “Bye-ee!” (I’m pretty sure I stole this from some sitcome.) I don’t think they noticed.

  3. seriously, how excited can you be over EVERY inane project? You could just have four phrases you rotate through …
    Oh FUN!
    How creative!
    Love the colors!
    Do you know how to hopscotch?

    Reserve the last one for when you just want people to look at you like you are nuts and then walk away , shaking their head!
