Since I turned 38 (last weekend in case you missed it), I’ve become a rebel of sorts. I am deliberately being daring, naughty, breaking rules and flipping the bird at societal norms.
Take this for example. The recommended daily intake of wine is two glasses ( I don’t know if that’s true, but it works for me). The other night I went all out and consumed a whole bottle. Yep, a whole bottle of the stuff. I think I may have even opened (drunk) the second bottle. Well, it was my birthday and I thought it was the perfect opportunity to GO CRAZY.
Then, I let Miss 4 wag kindy. Yep, that’s right. I asked if she’d rather stay home and play in the garden with her two sisters and eat ice cream in the sun OR if she’d rather have her tired (hungover) mother bundle everyone into the car and battle through the Royal Adelaide Show traffic to get her to kindy where she’d hold onto my leg and scream “please stay for another five minutes” while Miss 1 cried and Miss 3 demanded the other kids “go away” so she could play with their toys. Surprisingly, Miss 4 declined the opportunity to further her social skills and learn valuable educational life lessons and opted for the ice cream.
Then, I ignored the weight restrictions and went on a kiddie ride at the Show. Yep, that’s right, I am finally tall enough to go on a ride and yes, there was a weight restriction (not really). In my head, the sign read: “People who have eaten two Dagwood Dogs, an ice cream, a donut and a bucket of chips are NOT allowed on the tea cup and saucer ride”. Rules, shmules. I went anyway and I squealed like a pig. While the girls giggled and waved at my belly-laughing husband, I was yelling “stop the ride, stop the ride, I want to get off”. I was scared the cup was going to spin off the tiny saucer and wipe out a whole section of terrified onlookers. When the ride stopped, one of the girls’ cousins casually commented “man, your cup was spinning really, really fast”. Yep, it was honey. I blame inertia (whatever that is).
And then, the final act of rebellion. Well, perhaps you could call it a little kinky. Let’s just say it involved sex and fireworks. You see, every night from our bed we can see the Show’s fireworks through our window. A bit of careful (flukey) timing and….
Have you done anything naughty lately?
Hmmmm trying to think when was last naughty…. And am annoyed that I can’t even remember! I am sick, brain not working!
Baby you’re a firewoorrrrkkkkkk…
I always imagine rides breaking and hurtling the carriage I’m in into the crowd… I even go “if it came off here it wouldn’t be so bad, but wow, there, that would cause a LOT of damage”. I’m weird.
But anyway, back to you. Huzzah for throwing out the rules and wagging! Rebel with good cause x
1973 was a good vintage. I rate it. Up there with sex to the beat of a firecracker, after two bottles of wine after wagging kindy. But you won’t get me on a ride (even the cup and saucer). Weight restrictions aside, I don’t think the owners would appreciate the vomit. I am always a little bit naughty. It is what all the fun kids are doing x
Great Post! I love to hear that our rebellious streak never fades 🙂
You are awesome.
Brillo post today, Bianca. It’s always a pleasure to come on over to your blog. So gorgeous and full of laughs.
p.s. I am pretty sure we are ACTUALLY neighbours…..
I think I must be overdue for some naughtiness….I had to sit here and think of anything naughty I have done lately (I did give myself a hangover last week but thats not THAT unusual 🙂 and all I could think of was random sneaky parking attempts or pulling a U-turn when the sign says no U-turn….which is kinda depressing seeing as I used to be a ‘fly by the seat of my pants’ random and spontaneous person. Now Im just a boring U-turn puller. I think I need to channel my inner Miss Naughty – thanks for the inspiration!
Oh god. I got a parking ticket outside my house and cried and cried.
Can I borrow your room before the Show ends?
I am not answering since you know (at least one) of my answers!! #enoughsaid
My next goal is to shock you some more…perhaps I’ll email you tonight? 😉
Well timed indeed! The best “fitting finale” view out of the window for me was the Eiffel Tower lit in all its wonderous glory – sigh….
Enjoy your time as a rebel!
Sneakily topping up my vodka when no-one is watching and then pretending I’ve only had one is about as naughty as I get at the moment.
Hey Bianca! I’m your newest (and 401st I do believe) follower! Loving your blog and particularly rebel status. The fireworks shot is a cracker 😉 Looking forward to following xx
Yes I pulled a sicky and kept my baby home from school. We just wanted to hang out.
Damn. You are so Rock n Roll, Bianca 😉
Mrs. Cranky and I had fireworks in bed the other night also. Bad idea, those things are loud and they blow shit up!
The cranky old man
I had a dream that I took a picture of my right boob and emailed it to a guy. Then I woke up and actually considered doing it.
Yesterday I sent my kids outside to play so I could scoff a lamington with freshly whipped cream. If I had done it today the naughty factor would be a bit higher. It’s pouring with rain!
I ate a Tim Tam behind my kid’s back and then told them that they couldn’t have a milk arrowroot because they had too much sugar in them.
Does that count?
Boring really.
“Sweetheart, it’s time to get the costumes back out…”
You have inspired me to.
I vomit just looking at a ferris wheel, but the ice cream, wagging kindy and fireworks I could do! Great post 🙂
