This is ironic, because for the most part, I don’t care much for mommy blogs (just writing that makes me cringe). They all seem to write about the cute things their cute kids do, or cute activities to keep their cute kids active, or cute clothes for their cute kids to wear or whatever else is cute and involves their cute kids. Never mind the fact that every other cute kid is likely doing the same cute thing in the same cute clothes. Oh, and don’t forget all the talking about organic and gluten free foods. Its nauseating sometimes. Sorry mommy bloggers, you’re still cool. But maybe its because I’m a DINK (dual income, no kids), and my world, which I’ve been told isn’t quite reality, is pretty damn sweet right now. In the last seven days I went to two MLB games, went camping, played beer pole, played organized soccer, ate dim sum, and got kinda drunk participating in most of these activities. This weekend I’m going on a four day bike tour. Yeah, life rocks right now, and kids at this point in my life are like little pilgrim crusaders threatening to pillage my freedom and destroy my fantasy world with screams, snot, poop and vomit. Its not that I don’t want kids, I really do want a couple of them someday, but that day is not today.
What the hell am I getting at? Well, I found a mommy blog that gives us speech pathologists the most endearing of compliments, and its that we’re bad mofos. I’m not much for euphemisms when it forces censorship, so I’m just going to say it. Fellow speech pathologists, we are BAD MOTHER FUCKERS! Go ahead, you can say it, “I’m a speech pathologist and I’m a bad mother fucker.” Feels good doesn’t it?!
Where did we get this awesome praise? Well, she calls herself the Bearded Iris, which is reminiscent of another blogger Isis the Scientist, who is a woman, has kids and is hilarious, just as is the Bearded Iris, as you’ll find soon find out. Bearded Iris is a mommy blogger, and apparently quite popular too, which is the namesake of her blog. Obviously, she talks about her kids, but she also interjects her writing with references to genitals, sexual innuendos, and shows her kids how to make fake poop and has pictures to prove it. I can get behind this. She also has a good handle on some phonological processes, which I guess is cool too. So, Bearded Iris, you saved mommy blogging in my eyes. Thanks for the flattery, and you’re quite the Bad Mother Fucker yourself!




I appreciate your love for cussing. In the female dominated field of speech path (and a REALLY female dominated grad program) I often get the stink eye for my sailor’s mouth. I was beginning to think that despite the SLP’s love for language I wasn’t allowed to be an SLP and use colorful language.
Also, a wonderfully vulgar and hilarious mommy blogger/tweeter is Kelly Oxford @ http://kellyoxford.tumblr.com/ – she’s my fave. Along with Heather Armstrong @ http://dooce.com/.
LOL. A love of language should not discriminate against swear words! Well placed curse words in the appropriate context adds color and tone to a message, and communciates a feeling that otherwise can’t be relayed by their conservative counterparts
Thanks for the comments and the links! And keep on cussing, ha!
Love it! She’s a riot…”May I have a douche bag” made me laugh hysterically.
Great post on the thin liquid profane man too…hope he has calmed down.
HAHA! She is hilarious isn’t she?!
The profane patient is all good these days. Thanks for the comments, Sean.
