The Princess and the water balloon

Apartment living is not fun, IMO.  Sure it's nice to have a gym, mini-golf (weird I know but the kids like it), and serious security.  Plus the elevator opens to MY apartment.  There is no one else on my floor.  It is rather princess-like with the marble EVERYWHERE and the SIX, that's right folks SIX FULL BATHS in my four bedroom apartment (not including the maids quarters).  The downside though is that Colombians like to party and it can be REALLY loud.  Also a neighbor in the building behind me occasionally leaves her dog on a balcony and he barks his freaking head off ALL.NIGHT.LONG!  The other night The Diplomat got fed up and started making water balloons.  I'm guessing to pelt the dog with but I'm not really sure of his intent. However, the second he got all those balloons ready to go, the dog stopped barking.  The balloons have been sitting in a plastic bag hanging off the bathroom door ever since.

Flash forward to this evening.  Leo, my 6 year old boy, is in the tub.  I spy the bag, pick it up, whirl around, chuck a water balloon and BAM hit him smack in the chest!  I must say it was a nice shot.  But the darn thing didn't break!!!  Guess The Dip failed water balloon inflation 101.  Anyway, Leo was SO suprised it took him a second.  First he said, "that hurt" then he spied the water balloon floating in the tub and got a huge grin.  I knew now was the time to get out of dodge.  I shoved Miss Texas, my 5 yr old daughter, in the room and ran.  By the time I come back they are chucking the unbreakable balloon back and forth.  I grabbed it and threw it hard and it smashed on the wall behind the tub showering Leo with water.  In the meantime Miss Texas grabs the bag and proceeds to get more.  I have to say it was the most improptu fun!  The Dip just wanted to know who was gonna clean it up.  Um yeah... that's what maids are for.  Guess I am turning into a princess after-all.

  1. Ha ha! I love it. The Dip definitely needs to work on his water balloon filling!

    To answer your question about lasers and hair. The legs were about the same price as the bikini line. The legs are no sweat, they hurt, but I feel asleep during my first two treatments (but I woke up during the bikini line). I did the Brazilian bikini line, if I had it to do again, I would do just a regular bikini line. There are certain parts of a woman's anatomy the lasers should not touch.
