5. make rice
My husband can cook anything and everything except rice. I am the one who makes it at my house. I use my grandmothers' secrets to perfect, non-sticky rice every time.

10. I'll second that
I'll never forget the look on my date's face when I washed the rice to get the starch off. It was like she surprised me in the middle of sacrificing the fatted calf, or some arcane bloody ritual.

:P

24. Plexiglass Toilet


Don't sit on the Plexiglas toilet
Said the momma to her son
Wipe the butt clean with the paper
Make it nice for everyone
But don't sit down on the Plexiglas toilet yeah

A boy of 5 stands close to the toilet
Holds the lid up with one hand
Won't let go the lid for fear that
On his banana it will land
Don't sit down on the Plexiglas toilet yeah

Boy goes up he eats the enchilada
With the sauce that burns the heart
Family comes to visit family
Momma says don't belch and fart

Don't sit on the Plexiglas toilet
Said the momma to her son
Wipe the butt clean with the paper
Make it nice for everyone
But don't sit down on the Plexiglas toilet yeah

Everybody Sing!

Don't sit on the Plexiglas toilet
Said the momma to her son
Wipe the butt clean with the paper
Make it nice for everyone
But don't sit down on the Plexiglas toilet yeah

Don't sit on the Plexiglas toilet
Said the momma to her son
Wipe the butt clean with the paper
Make it nice for everyone
But don't sit down on the Plexiglas toilet yeah

31. Just about everything
since I'm the only one in the joint with that opposable-thumbs thing.

Lucy does, however, lick herself with far greater skill than I.
