Aren't you sick of parents bragging on their kids? Several years ago I initiated the annual Overton Christmas letter. With my first edition I made 3 promises:
- I would never write more than one page. (I have had to reduce the font size a couple of times in order to keep that promise.)
- I wouldn't sell my mailing list, no matter what they offered.
- I would never brag on my kid!
Okay, back to my title. I actually saw this today in bumper sticker form on the car in front of me. The question that immediately popped into my mind was, "How do I turn this into a blog?" I'm still struggling with that part, except to say that I saw the bumper sticker when I was on my way home from checking on the blow-up camper bed in the "vignette staged" home to see if it was holding air. It is! No leaks!
Sometimes it's all about the title.

I guess that means that this kid is one of the good bad boys.
Yikes...I do brag on my kids... A LOT!! Very proud mom to 3 beautiful girls, that is something that I don't think I will ever be able to change but this bumper sticker says it all...LOL Great post!
Sometimes bragging still makes you look like an ID-10-T. Was she really proud that her kid was in jail?
Sarcasm, folks. Pretty sure the bumper sticker is joke. I think it makes the authors point quite well.
Yes, the bumper is a joke!!!
you have to admit some of the letters you get are just painful! Little Johnny can do no wrong EVER! My sister did one a few years ago that actually spelled out the BAD, that was a much better and a much more humorous version!!
PS: My kid beat up your honor student!
(actually Both of mine were the honor students! says the proud dad!)
I like the bumper sticker that I saw recently: "My dog is smarter than your kid." Enough said!
This bumper sticker is my parents' favorite - it brings up chuckles for days after they spot it on a car. The "My Kid is an Honor Roll Student" or whatever weren't around when we were growing up but if they were my parents wouldn't have had one on the car - not their style. But if we had a dog I could definitely see them with Maureen's "My dog is.." version. Too funny!
