My son’s school has a party called Hearts and Hundreds to celebrate the 100th day of school.  You’re supposed to glue a hundred things to a heart.

His had:

• 2 Great White Sharks
• 8 Great White pups
• 20 one kind of fish (red hots)
• 20 another kind of fish (hot tamales)
• 30 plankton (glitter glue dots)
• 20 seaweeds or eels, we couldn’t decide which (YARN!)

• My husband did not get beat up and killed that time he was out drinking with his coworkers.
• I don’t have a brain tumor.
• I didn’t die during childbirth.
• I never came home to my husband and son lying in a pool of blood.
• My son was never kidnapped from daycare.
• My bus didn’t blow up (terrorists).
• My husband didn’t try to cut me in half that time.
• I tested negative for lyme disease (though you never really know)
• No nuclear war, so far.
• I have never died in a tornado.

I have to reblog this because 1) I think Jen’s great, and 2) this is an excellent call to please, PLEASE stop this “debate.” It’s not up for debate. Men and women are both funny. You’re 100% wrong if you say anything else. I’m smarter than you. Shut up.

Here, tl;dr = though long, DO READ.

Whoa. I just 666d this awesome video.
