OMG the screws don't match!!!?

Question

With all the talk of adoptees not having the pool, pony, and tiara lately, I thought y'all might enjoy a little laugh. My husband and I are putting together the (used) bed in our kids' room. We came up three screws short, so hubby ran to Home Depot for replacements. He walked in and said, "they had them, but there's a problem. The screws we have are black, and the only ones Home Depot had are gold." Oh, I laid into him. "I can't BELIEVE you! Do you know how much our kids are going to HATE us now, because the screws on their bed don't match???" He chased me around the house trying to tickle me. He's evil! Evil, I tell you!

Oh, THEN, you're not going to beleive this!!! I got into the bag, and the other part to the s***w is SILVER!!! Wow, now our kids are REALLY going to hate us. We're going to be horrible parents! Not only are we not supplying a pool, pony, or tiarra, not to mention college tuition, but now, we can't even match up the screws!!! LOL

Answer 1

Sounds like these kids are gonna have a really fun and wacky family to be part of and loved.  Good for you!!  Keep enjoying life and having humor in everything.  And as for Jenny Craig or whatever the suggestion was...whatever!  Only a loser would even say anything like that so mean!

Answer 2

I think it is proof you are a mulit-s***w family and will be better able to meet the needs of any s***w by offering your screws the same opportunity to be part of the bed.

Your question is all screwed up. But it just proves that us AP's are normal parents.

My kid doesn't have a pony either!

Answer 8

you are just evil parents...how dare u mismatch a s***w...lol

Answer 9

Heck I had to marry a cowboy in order to get the ponies.  We have water tanks out here.  Does that pass for a pool?  In the cowboy world it does.  I don't do tiaras.

I would say you are screwed.

Answer 19

Answer 20

Not bad at all, I don't think kids need all that, pool, pony, tiara. And the screws not matching, there are a lot of things worse than that. They could have nothing that matches.
