What Christian homeschool moms do

Does anyone ever listen to Meatloaf on purpose? I was wondering. I saw that a friend of mine had his CD, and I borrowed it just for fun.
The song "Two out of Three Ain't Bad" came on, and I laughed so hard. It's funny in an ironical sort of way. It's this love ballad that sounds so dreamy, but the words are opposite what you'd expect. "I want you, I need you, there ain't no way that I'm ever gonna love you. Don't be sad, 'cause two out of three ain't bad." Isn't that terrible? It struck me as being so funny.
So the other song I hadn't heard in years was one that is simply not suitable to play in front of my children. So, being the good Christian mom I am, I waited until they got out of the car. My friend, Lisa, and I then turned the volume way up and realized with a blush, that we both knew all of the words. We sang at the top of our lungs.
These things happen, and you just can't help it.
Then we got on the topic of Tattoos. I don't have any, in case you were wondering. I do think it would be a grand way to commemorate the completion of my black belt test, however.
So we fell to talking and Kara said...
"Watching people get tattoos is my second favorite thing to do in all the world!"
Lisa and I grinned and exchanged glances, because Kara had phrased that in such a way as to imply that something else was her number one favorite thing to do.
Any guesses on what that might be?
That's what I thought, too! But you're wrong!
So, as I was typing this story for your literary enjoyment, I drew a total blank on the punch line. I couldn't remember! I sat here completely dumbfounded because I knew she had said something wickedly funny....I knew I laughed about it all the way home....but I couldn't remember for anything! I was sitting here asking myself what on earth she had said was her favorite thing to do....
Then it hit me!
And I thought....dang, I can't write about that!

It's really not a scandelous thing at all! I am self-serving in this, as her comment was a tease at me, and telling you would reveal something about myself that I don't want you to know!
