Overheard at the Asian art museum:
"What's a...chah-bah?" (said standing directly in front of the little plaque explaining that the kaaba is Islam's most sacred site, the house Abraham built for God, and the items you are looking at are ornamental keys to it...)
Tween Princess: "Mom, can I have sushi for dinner tonight?"
Suburban Martyr: "NO. You had sushi for dinner last night, and sushi for lunch today, and I don't want to hear any more about it. I am not a sushi-making machine."
TP: "Yes you are!"
About Me
- Mugs
- I'm originally from North America and I work in the travel industry. I started this blog when I was living in Baltic Europe and wanted to keep family and friends updated on my first pregnancy. I took maternity leave for a year, and came a little closer to figuring out what I want to be when I grow up - but alas, the job of "Katharine Hepburn" was taken. So after fifteen months of Stay-at-Home-Mom-hood, I returned to the workforce in January 2006. My husband and I have a daughter born in 2004 and a son born in 2006 (known on this blog as "Gigi" and "Halley" respectively). My company transferred me to a nice warm island in July 2006, where I get to spend the next three years (at least!) So why the name "Purple Scare"? Because when I created the blog, I was living behind the Rusted Iron Curtain, and I like the color purple more than red. Write me at purplescareblog@gmail.com.
