Have you ever seen those lovely signs......

....you know the ones. In this family we do love, We do hugs.,We do laughter, etc.  If you've ever been on Pinterest, you know exactly what I'm talking about.  Of course if you are the one person left who has not been sucked into THAT time-sucking craze, allow me to enlighten you.

Now if you were to actually go on Pinterest, you could find at least 30 million versions of this sign made with everything from melted crayons , letters made from your spare paint chips, or beautifully hand written with homemade fondant on a cake for your mom. For no particular reason other than you had an extra 30 hours with which to do nothing, but create such shenanigans , in an attempt to mimic Martha Stewart.

Don't get me wrong, I actually have "pinned" this on one of my Pinterest boards along with a slew of other projects that I could clearly replicate for my own home if I in fact wanted to. Which led me to think of all the combinations of words I could actually use to give a clear picture of what goes on in  my house.

How about this:

 In this house.......

We do a whole lot of shouting.

Because, quite frankly, nobody ever listens.

We leave our dishes everywhere, because apparently there is a maid who will

pick them up.

We like to punch each other, give charlie horses,

and spin the smaller members of the family to the point

of puking.

Oh, and we fart.

And think it's funny.

How do you think that would look in the living room?

I actually got to thinking about all of this as a result of a really great sign that Jake made for his brother last night. Trey started seventh grade today and in a show of support, his older brother gifted him with this fabulous number pinned to his backpack:

I think this may even beat last years send off, when the sum total of advice from Jake to Trey on going to a new middle school was " Get your fucking swag on." Who thought such pearls of wisdom could ever be outdone? The kid is clearly brilliant.

Long story short. What it boils down to is this: Is pants-shittingly  an actual word and do you think I could somehow incorporate it into my new living room sign to make it a little more, you know, awesome?
