Sabrina’s Money Matters

I’ve taken the liberty of making today a fun day, yesterday my son had a birthday party. Now he’s 10, and I won’t go into how old that makes me feel.

So I’m going to make a committment to myself to be more childish so that when he’s grown, we still have a kid around…me! Today I will laugh at bathroom humor, to the point of snorting. Today when my son birps during dinner, I will give him his score (1-10) instead of telling him, “Not at the table!”. Today we’ll have a backwards dinner, and we promise we’ll eat ALL of our dessert before dinner!

And today we play Cow Patty Bingo. What’s that you ask?

“What on earth is Cow Patty Bingo?!”

I’m glad you asked!

“In the Southern US, and probably in several other places as well, we have a game called, “Cow Patty Bingo”. Here’s how it works. Using spray paint, someone makes a numbered grid on a small piece of fenced-in land. People buy numbers, and then sit back and wait to see which number the cow puts its pie on. In other words, people get really worked up about cow shit. Of course, cow shit is not the prize. The prize is usually something typical like an electronic device, tickets or money. I’m going to go with money.”

I happened upon a blogger, who is also in this Lone Star State so famous for cowboys and redneck jokes. Bloggrrl.com is a sassy blog full of wisdom to share and complete with an alter ego as well who writes about blogging and gives you helpful tips to make it; like these “9 Absolute Essentials for a Popular Blog”.

After yesterdays festivities I’m reminded of my favorite post on Bloggrrl.com about her son.

So check her out, this is my contest entry for Cow Patty Bingo to win $50 and a permanent link, and on a sidenote, I have to agree with Bloggrrl that this fellow Texan looks great in a cowsuit, if you gotta wear one, you gotta pimp it!
