Mom’s Gold Star

I thought about saving this for Easter next year, but then I realized that would be kind of morbid and depressing, so here ‘tis! My new favorite Fatal Attraction Mom’s Gold Star submission. (Also, the only Fatal Attraction Mom’s Gold Star submission.) I love the way the bunny is on its back and clearly appears in distress despite being a stuffed animal on a plastic stove. The rabbit may not really be cooking, but the overall sentiment is not lost. Particularly if this stuffed animal belongs to someone other than K.’s kids, at which point K. may have a slight problem on her hands. First the bunny dies, and after that things just spiral into chaos.

Congrats on winning this week’s Gold Star, K.! Your warped sense of humor is appreciated, as is your movie knowledge. Let us know if your kids ever recreate any scenes from American Psycho so I can hook them up with Adam’s kid.

Mom’s Gold Star

When it comes to submissions about recent blockbusters, STFUP’s got you covered! First we saw a rather deflating mommyjacking related to The Hunger Games, in which Nicole got a subtle smackdown by her “friend” Sarah, whose comment implied that Nicole’s baby might (literally) be hungrier for its mom than Nicole’s craving to watch The Hunger Games for the third time. But that baby - and Sarah - were wrong. Still, we didn’t get to see Nicole’s reply which took the submission from having humor potential to being kind of rude and depressing. That’s where The Avengers and Michael step in.

Michael isn’t having any of Meredith’s winky-faced crap. Even if she’s joking, her winky face indicates there’s something “deeper” under the surface. Something a little judgy. I love the way Michael comes back with, “You can’t compete against a lifetime of waiting, and I regret NOTHING!” It’s time people stood up to their friends and relatives who make jokes about babies being “left alone” while parents run off to “party.” Not that that’s what Meredith is saying here necessarily, but why not curb the cutesy “poor little guy” jokes and just say, “Awesome, I hope you guys had a great time!”? Wouldn’t that be a little more, oh I don’t know, fun? It’s parents like Michael who are helping to set the record straight. Congrats on winning this week’s Gold Star, Michael! You’ll be a great influence on that kid of yours. And yes, you gotta love babysitters. Pay them well!
