Uncle Joe

It’s “Spirit Week” at Carrie’s high school. Today is 50s day. So she is supposed to dress in period clothes, etc.

She is NOT wearing a poodle skirt.

She is going as McCarthyism.

She was going to go as The Red Menace, but it seems all her red shirts are in the wash. Her Joe Stalin tee in particular.

Is it any wonder that I don’t want her to go far away for college?


“Are you now or have you ever been affiliated with the Communist Party?”


“I have a subpoena here in my pocket from HUAC and I’m not afraid to use it.”

Child of Love #1 makes me laugh very hard.

  1. I’m a little bit scared.

  3. Oh, Dear God. PLEASE make my kids be like Child of Love #1 when they’re 17.

    I’m so afraid that they’ll learn “the truth” at seventeen--that love was meant for beauty queens. (Stinkin’ Janis Ian and her catchy tunes...)

  4. This has to be the most brilliant costume I’ve ever seen. I hope she has a friend willing to be her Roy Cohn.

  5. That is awesome. And a good fit for our current times as well.

  6. You kid rocks the freaking house.

    This is way cooler than my husband going as Dog the Bounty Hunter for Halloween.

    ;)

  8. Wow! I’m utterly speechless…

    I had to look at the picture again.

    Yes, I’m still speechless.

Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

 

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
