DU - I have something to apologize for

[underpants]

I didn't take a "first day of school" picture of my daughter and post it on the Facebook.

I'm sorry.

We can only hope that this doesn't change how water flows or that we give up on the brotherhood of man.

[Warpy]

1. The picture when she comes home can be a better one

"How was your first day?" SNAP!

You'll either get a really happy kid or a picture you can blackmail her with for the rest of her life.

[gratuitous]

2. Hang your head in shame

We'll let you know when you can rejoin decent society.

[underpants]

16. Oh God

We don't have to do the suburban cotillion thing do we?!?!?

Seriously, that's a thing now.

[gratuitous]

38. Mocking cotillion, too?!

Don't you think you're in enough trouble already, young man?

[LonePirate]

3. That's simply unforgivable. May Skinner have mercy on you.

[jalan48]

4. Well, this is serious. You can atone by getting one of those, "My daughter is an honor student at.."

[underpants]

10. Well

She is a straight A student in a middle school International Baccalaureate program.

She's a miracle.. especially when you consider the gene pool she crawled out of.

[jalan48]

11. Congrats on your daughter's achievements. Sounds like some good parenting at your household!

[panader0]

15. I feel the same way.

My daughter (her birthday is today--26) had one B in four years of high school.
She would have been valedictorian but another girl did extra credit work to
get a very slightly higher GPA. Thank goodness none of my four kids did the
things I did when I was young. They're all happy, healthy and successful.

5. In total, in all my time on Facebook, I have posted fewer pictures of my children...

than I see of other people's cats daily.

Short of performing surgery or piloting an aircraft, there is little that a cat can do that I haven't seen a cat do already, or which I need to see captured in two dozen additional pictures.


Yes, I know. So-and-so's cat is a precious miracle unique in all the world. And that picture of him sitting on a chair is unlike any other.

[underpants]

8. Our girl cat - 15 years - died two weeks ago tomorrow while we were at the beach

2:10 pm. Literally on the beach. Umbrellas in the sand when we got the call. We were checked out and on the road in 30 minutes. 6 hour drive home.

Was that a downer post?



Seriously I still can't believe she's not around. The boy cat still looks for her.

[3catwoman3]

14. A cycber hug to all of you on the loss of your girl cat.

((((( >^..^< )))))

[underpants]

20. Rough

We can pick up her ashes tomorrow

[demmiblue]

21. No, it wasn't

Our pets are an integral part of our families (as well as our overlords). For some, it is their only family.

I am sorry for your loss.

[Orrex]

41. Only a downer to the extent that we've all been there...

and we can understand your sorrow.

But being a downer in that sense doesn't mean that you shouldn't share.

[lpbk2713]

6. You might pay for this transgression in a few years.

But you'll get over it.

[skylucy]

7. LOL! Isn't Facebook something?

[Skittles]

9. *EGREGIOUS*

you're scheduled

[underpants]

19. I fall on my sword

She had a great summer though!!

[Turbineguy]

12. My Grandson gets those pictures taken

I keep expecting his hair to turn grey.

After all, he'll be 12 soon.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

13. I love it when people talk about how they don't participate in something mainstream.

[underpants]

18. Big is bad

I used to subscribe to that religiously and now see the wisdom of my youth.

[Warren DeMontague]

34. I listened to those guys before they sold out, man

[WhiskeyGrinder]

36. You're on fire tonight, BTW.

[kstewart33]

17. OMG.

What? You didn't? What is wrong with you, Underpants?

Oh....well, actually, I didn't. For either of my daughters. They're now in college.

I will not sleep well tonight.

[underpants]

23. Rest easy my friend

Did the Facebook exist then?

[demmiblue]

22. You can make it up it spades years and years from now...

with pics from the sip and see party (if she so chooses).

[leftieNanner]

24. Well,

You have just killed gravity. Sad.

[underpants]

25. I'm sorry

My behavior may explain the hurricanes

[leftieNanner]

26. HA

Only if you're LGBT.

[WinkyDink]

27. Scarred for life. I see years of therapy in her future.

[greatauntoftriplets]

28. What kind of father are you!!!??

My niece posted one of the triplets a day late.

[Control-Z]

29. Just one of them?

How did that happen? I am assuming, of curse, that they all went to the same school at the same time, together. No?

[greatauntoftriplets]

32. Actually, it was two photos.

One of them on the deck with the dog doing his usual photobomb, the other one indoors. Yes, they go to the same school and drive there together. Yes, they drive now.

[onecaliberal]

30. One of my kids does an online curriculum, so I never do those photos.

[nini]

31. The only thing you should apologize for is...

not having that flying underwear gif in your sig line anymore

I still remember that.

(please tell me that was you and I haven't lost my mind)

[annabanana]

37. (I remember). . . . n/t

[Lazy Daisy]

33. As much as I love

watching kids grow up on FB. (too far away to watch for myself) Every once in a while I get concerned about the pictures posted by family. Too many truly bad people in the world.

Without them I would miss out on so much more than I already am, being 800 miles from everyone else.

[Generic Brad]

35. You're in good company

My daughter started the 18th grade last week and I have no pictures to commemorate the occasion. But she did send me a picture of her appetizer when she went out to dinner that night.

[Bettie]

39. I also did not take one of any of my three sons

I am a bad mother.

[left-of-center2012]

40. I have about 1,000 'Facebook friends'

None posted a "first day of school" picture.
