Mad Libs Monday: “Things Mom Always Said” by Kalli Verbecky of My Life as a Kalli
(Last week’s guest Mad Libber was Kristina from Pulsipher Predilections. You’ll love her “School Counselor” Mad Libs. So fun!)
Today’s “Things Mom Always Said” post comes to us courtesy of Kalli from My Life as a Kalli and is again from the Dysfunctional Family Therapy (Adult Mad Libs) book. Kalli has a sense of humor I adore—and she has rockin’ thighs to boot! After the story you’ll find a few interesting facts about my dear friend, blogger and SassyScoops.com gal Kalli. Oh, and I did change the last question. Everyone kept wanting their hubby or other family members with them on that dang island so I decided to mix it up a bit and make it more interesting. Enjoy!
THINGS MOM ALWAYS SAID
by Kalli from My Life as a Kalli
…
Yes, this really is Kalli’s life…
Name and/or nickname: Kalli Verbecky, Kalli Ko to you internets
Blog(s) and/or website(s): My Life as a Kalli and SassyScoops.com
Where you grew up: Nowheresville, Wyoming, a real metropolis so don’t be jealous.
Favorite childhood game: My brothers liked to make me run so they could rope me like a steer, does that count as a game or torture? Wait, this is supposed to be MY favorite game, that would probably have to be one my parents made up to keep us from killing each other on road trips. It was called Uzz. To play Uzz you had to spot the “Uzzes” (green mile markers) before anyone else. There was a whole point system involved. Needless to say this endeavor kept us occupied for hours because in Wyoming even a trip to the grocery store is considered a road trip.
Super cool mom moment (i.e., one of those moments when you were the coolest mom ever): Every morning when my kid wakes up I have one of those. Something about the look on his face when I walk though the door makes me feel awesome every time.
Totally uncool mom moment (if you’re willing to share): Ugh, too many to count. Let’s just say I’ve hit rock bottom more than once.
Your go-to “drug” of choice (e.g., Diet Coke, chocolate, Peeps, Venti anything from Starbucks): Dr. Pepper, Cherry Coke, frozen Jr. Mints, Pirate’s Booty, crack cocaine. I’m just kidding about the crack.
Your guilty indulgence (e.g., reality TV shows, pedis, chick lit): Long, hot showers, like practically scalding. It’s my one true pleasure in life.
If you were stranded on a desert island, preferably in the Caribbean, which famous person would you want with you and why? Tim Riggins from Friday Night Lights. Maybe we could take long, hot showers together and eat mangoes. Except I hate mangoes. Scratch that. I’d want Jack from Lost. He seems to know his way around an island. Plus, IRL he’s from Wyoming too, a town even smaller than me and yes that’s possible. I just feel like maybe we could have a lot in common you know?
Happy Memorial Day!

Uh, no offense to my husband and all, but I’d probably take Tim or Jack on a desert island instead of him anyway.
It’s a desert island after all isn’t it? These things are allowed?

Long, hot showers are the best. But would you want to take a long, hot shower on a caribbean island? Afterwards, in the heat and humidity, you would just feel dirty, gross and unclean. Just sayin

I met Kalli this weekend while shopping at the CBC10 vendor booths. We were so taken with each other we immediately bought “camera straps” together. Now THAT is love.
In all seriousness….she’s totally funny.
