Mom that's selling Pokemon Cards on E-Bay because her Kids snuck the cards

cgi.ebay.com — I'm selling a bunch of Pokemon cards. Why? Because my kids sneaked them into my shopping cart while at the grocery store and I ended up buying them because I didn't notice they were there until we got home. How could I have possibly not noticed they were in my cart, you ask? Let me explain.

  • McGuinness, on 10/10/2007, -5/+227But at the same time I cant really blame kids for being just that...kids. Dugg for some great writing.
    • oneoverzero, on 10/10/2007, -4/+22Agreed. Here's her blog (from the bottom of the post), I doubt I'll read it, but someone might.

    • Kurisuku, on 10/10/2007, -38/+11I love how this person is getting 50+ dollars for a 10 dollar starter box of cards all because they know how to write(and submit to digg) a fake story about kids they don't even have.
      • bluezinc, on 10/10/2007, -3/+22Don't be such a sour lemon.
      • thugok, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1Why not? He's calling out a ***** story. If the story is real then she deserves all the hardship she gets for taking undisciplined childrent to the store with her.
    • digggggggggg, on 10/10/2007, -3/+90' Many of them say "Energy". I tried carrying them around with me, but they didn't work.'

      lol, classic.
    • bluezinc, on 10/10/2007, -9/+41The whole time I was reading this I was thinking, "why doesn't she just HIT them?"
      • BrainInAJar, on 10/10/2007, -3/+15or duct tape them to the wall and not feed them for 2 weeks
        • Tippis, on 10/10/2007, -1/+41Well there's a good reason for not doing that: duct tape can leave nasty marks on the wallpaper.
      • willisan, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12Because white people can't hit their kids.
        • deadmann, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Wish someone had told my parents that.
        • userini, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I guess that explains why the asian kids study hard and become engineers and scientists while the white kids smoke pot and work at McDonalds.
    • manogamez, on 10/10/2007, -2/+36As I typed that last sentence, my 3 year old walked by sporting a Stitch costume (from Lilo and Stitch), a pink, cone shaped princess hat, a Darth Vader mask, and a light saber. (The kids were bored and got into the Halloween box.) OK, :::deep breath::: I might just be able to come up with a few more funny things about which to write after all.

      • tavman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Hey, at least Vader's in there. My 3 year old boy kept coming in with princess dresses and earrings.

        Not that there's anything wrong with that!
      • GoodniteMush, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3They didn't have cool costumes like that when I was a kid.
      • WNW3, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0I LOLed :)
      • Nighthawke, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Ok, you and your kids owe me for a new monitor and keyboard.. That was classic spewage!
    • Konstantino, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13Whoa, thunder energies look way cooler than they used to.
      • raklos, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2This lady reminds me of Lois - the mom in malcolm in the middle.
    • smpx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0That's why you don't blame the kids for being kids... you blame the parents for deciding on having the last four children while your oldest has yet to hit puberty. If your kids are creating a mess at the grocery store because you decided that "one more couldn't hurt", you no longer have the right to use the 'kids will be kids' excuse.

      Yes, sometimes being a bad parent means not taking care of your children in public, even if it is as a result of having too many kids.
  • resplence, on 10/10/2007, -9/+74Exemplar parenting.
    • completerobot, on 10/10/2007, -4/+19That's an exemplar post.
    • Okitaz, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Exemplar, old sport, exemplar.
    • tehpwnrate, on 10/10/2007, -0/+28Dugg for "exemplar." I'm going to use that word until my friends get pissed at me.
    • strabes, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Yeah, those kids need a sound beating.
    • Koldkompress, on 10/10/2007, -14/+6Who the ***** has six kids anyway. That's way too many. No wonder we're overpopulating the planet.
      • BHSPitMonkey, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3You must be new here...
      • tavman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6I do, for one, jack ass.
        • RexMaxus, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Wow, you must like sex.
          • Koldkompress, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2I like sex too, but considering we're probably 3-4 billion people over what can properly be sustained on this planet, I strap on a condom. If everyone had six kids, the whole *****' system would collapse.
          • deadmann, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_birth_rate
            Find the first White (majority) country on that list then tell me who needs to strap on a condom. (Hint: Ireland, 135th)
      • fractalman, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Well, I read the article, and all the comments. Since no one else will say it, I'll post it here.

        "Hey lady, it's a vagina, not a clown car."

        Thanks Rosey, you may ba a crumby TV personallity, but that was a FUNNY line.
        • deadmann, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Gee, I wander what she could be bitter about.
    • MarkOfTheDead, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2This is exemplar thread.
    • pu-z, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1I can't really think other than this is an example of how NOT to parent. Her life sound like a nightmare and the kids are so unruly, it's scary. Excellent parenting would be not being in this situation.
      • Komgol, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0Sounds to me like you've never had sibilings. Or kids.

        I came from a family of four chidlren... and it sounds more or less the same as our family dynamic when I was raised. And you know what? My mother was a damn good parent, and we turned out fine. Children with healthy parenting *are* unruly. Sorry if you'd rather see them beaten until they're afraid to act out -- they're kids. Get over it.
  • roastedbagel, on 10/28/2007, -5/+206Sounds like she should be selling the kids on e.....nevermind
    • brianbb98, on 10/10/2007, -4/+66kids should never be on e.
    • Kurisuku, on 10/10/2007, -47/+5The kids probably deserve the cards after having to deal with such a selfish bitch mother.
      • SuperCujo, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16Kids need to learn some manners and not sneak ***** into the shopping cart.

        Serves em right. Ungrateful *****.
        • giskard88, on 10/10/2007, -8/+2they're kids. it's what they do. I'm wondering why she can't leave them at home. if one's old enough to push several round in a cart, he's probably old enough to look after them for an hour
          • MarkOfTheDead, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9No, because then there will be a story on digg of a bunch of kids burning down a house and a thousand comments calling her a bad mother.
        • Nerys, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8HAH with that story just how many minutes after she pulls out o the driveway do you think the house will still be standing :-) hehehe
        • javip, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9I remember being around 5 and stealing a kids bow and arrow kit I wanted that my parents wouldn't buy me
          they found out i stole it when we got home, and didn't punish me and I was playing with it that afternoon..
          I then went on to think I could get away with stealing whenever I wanted and would steal cards and random crap until my early teens when I realized it was stupid.

          moral of the story, kids needs to be taught lessons otherwise they grow up thinking what they've done is ok!
        • Myonosken, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1@giskard: Pushing a trolley- Probably over 5. So you want to leave a 6 year old at home? EXEMPLAR PARENTING!
        • Wormfather, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I remember being around 5 and stealing a kids bow and arrow kit I wanted that my parents wouldn't buy me they found out i stole it when we got home, and didn't punish me and I was playing with it that afternoon...I grew up to be an upstanding member of the community, although people often accuse me of plagiarism.
      • JCSaint, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Did you read the post? If those were my kids, they'd be grounded for a week easy. And considering what I got from my parents when acting up, I'd be a saint for doing that.
  • geneticlemon, on 10/28/2007, -9/+18140,000+ visitors? Something beyond the Digg Effect is at work here ... And that mother deserves a ***** trophy.
    • blumph, on 10/10/2007, -4/+28was on reddit before this, not sure where first. it was 19,000 views a few hours ago, think it'll hit 100k+?
    • ECas123, on 10/10/2007, -2/+67A ***** trophy, or a '*****' trophy?
      (Oh come on, she has 6 kids how could I not got get confused?)
    • joegibes, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9It's called the "reddit effect" and the "stumbleupon effect".
    • DNABeast, on 10/10/2007, -4/+54A trophy?? What she needs is a pack of frigging condoms!!
    • gropo, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3And that mother deserves a ***** HYSTERECTOMY. (there fixed that for you.)
  • bruinexmo, on 10/10/2007, -28/+172I can't really be sympathetic. What do you expect when you decide to have six kids?
    • KaneDragon, on 10/10/2007, -17/+6My mom had five... =/
    • RMoore08, on 10/10/2007, -3/+50Decided? I think the last 3 or 4 were accidents.
      • Quakes, on 10/10/2007, -16/+17This is why we have abortions.
        • Zaggynl, on 10/10/2007, -3/+19Birthcontrol, better for your and the fetus's feelings.
          Responsibility, get some.
        • zwaldowski, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Yeah, my Mom was on birth control. She was the 2% that fell through the cracks and gave me my most recent two siblings.
          • KidKenosha, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11"Most recent"? She knows that she has to swallow the pills, right?
      • dbhaley, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1It's called a hysterectomy.
      • tannerbechtel, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0You guys are jackasses. I'm sure you bitch about things as well, but nobody offers to kill them off.
    • Kurisuku, on 10/10/2007, -33/+7She's a fat heifer with spell check and an IQ level below 90.

      Oh, and probably a guy that doesn't even have kids, but at least an extra 50+ dollars sitting in paypal when the auction ends.
      • topace3000, on 10/10/2007, -8/+31So is it your time of month or what?
        • Anonymouz, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15How many times must we go over this...there are no women registered on this site.
          • evilemma, on 10/10/2007, -3/+3Well there you go - I'm a man! Except I think I'm missing something...

            Lol - I guess we are a rare breed on digg :-P
        • grade4, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Who said? *defending herself*
    • KidKenosha, on 10/10/2007, -1/+32Hey, be fair. She says she can't handle fourth grade maths, so it's not too likely that she was paying attention when they talked about contraception either.
      • xopher314, on 10/10/2007, -8/+2And you can't handle fourth grade English. Math cannot be plural. Mathematics, yes. Arithmetic, sure. Maths? No.
        • KidKenosha, on 10/10/2007, -3/+13Actually, I'm Australian. Here, as in much of the rest of the English-speaking world, we abbreviate it as "maths". Sorry for exposing your ignorance.
        • cankillar, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3LADIES! You're both pretty.
    • browwiw, on 10/10/2007, -10/+5Stupid cow shouldn't have had six kids. Bad for her health. Bad for their health. Bad for the economy. Bad for the environment. I have no respect or sympathy for these ***** breed-o-philes that squat out grub after grub. It's bad enough people do it because some 2000 year old fairy tale encourages them too, nowadays the upper middle class is pumping out the larvae because its the newest way to keep up with the Joneses. How do you explain that to a child..."Oh, well, little Billy, I decided to impregnate your brood mare of a mother because the neighbors down the street got an H3 and we had to trump them! They may be able to afford a gas hog SUV, but we have to prove we're wealthy enough to raise 8 of you little squalers. By the way, you can't go to college because, well, we're in ***** debt because we had 8 children."
      • atarigirl002, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Good luck in life with THAT outlook.
        • deadmann, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1It's a self-solving problem luckily.
    • CannibalTom, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2I think the kids will benefit greatly from having a large family who will love them.
    • Seidoger, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Or she could got a baby sitter (a kick ass one though, for 6 kids)
      Then she could have made her shopping much faster, hence costing her less an hour for the baby sitting.
      She's courageous, though to bring her six kids there with her..
    • aduzik, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1...because her husband played *no* part whatsoever in her having six kids. Yeah, there's no such thing as forced pregnancy. Nope.
    • bhull, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Lighten up. She's not looking for sympathy, she's just sharing the adventures of having six kids. Not everything we love in life is fun-fun-thrill-a-minute.
  • Macshiba, on 10/10/2007, -114/+11Awesome. I'm glad this is what Digg is for. ***** gay ass Auctions.

    Nice. Thanks Kevin Rose.
    • geekologist, on 10/10/2007, -6/+40I'm glad this is what Digg is for... douchebags with no manners.
    • chilekillr, on 10/10/2007, -2/+32Go back to Myspace.
    • fef560, on 10/10/2007, -11/+3I dug you up if you can hear me from down there.
    • agentgreenbean, on 10/10/2007, -11/+2i agree with macshiba, dug up
    • StormTrooperVII, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3comment buried for being a ***** dumb ass
  • drummerman109, on 10/10/2007, -53/+14i dont get it, how is this news? or even, interesting? this happens every day, in every town in the US, burried as lame
    • oneoverzero, on 10/10/2007, -7/+28its well written.
      • sethisastud, on 10/10/2007, -12/+4Unfortunately your comment isn't.
      • grade4, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I actually forgot it was an auction -- I enjoyed her little story...
  • homerj14, on 10/10/2007, -15/+3go mom!
  • NextInstinct, on 10/10/2007, -57/+14Actually, I think she's an ass. Six kids in tow, did not bang themselves out. She has raised him so far. Only a kid. She rambled on defending herself. She has created the hysterical, manic lifestyle, NOT the kids!!!
    • tehpwnrate, on 10/10/2007, -3/+5Do you have kids? I don't, but having dealt with babies around 1-2 years old, I can tell you that parents can only do so much about the way babies act.
    • flxstr, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9shut the ***** up
    • MarkOfTheDead, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1I'd pay to see kids bang themselves out. It gets boring in this office all alone.
  • PeoplePeople, on 10/10/2007, -30/+9I am sick of this *****...
    • inigomntoya, on 10/10/2007, -4/+8And yet you took the time to comment on it... Smart!
  • AndrewDB, on 01/10/2008, -27/+8Pardon me but ... Why didn't she notice them when she was pulling the ***** out of the cart to check out?

    She doesn't say that the kids bitched and moaned while they were checking out... she could of looked at every single damn item in the cart and thrown the cards to the register personnel and said "We don't want these."
    • Nerys, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8I guess you have never seen multiple shopping carts full of groceries - it could be as simple as hiding with the packs of butter you turn to grab a critter and they get scanned and tossed in the bag. A Nearly $300 grocery bill by what is likely a smarter than average shopper is a crap load of groceries! I am surprised more did not "get through"
  • freakgd, on 10/10/2007, -58/+6GO ***** YOURSELF POST SOMETHING GOOD
    • AndrewDB, on 01/10/2008, -2/+15Follow your own advice, especially when replying.
    • SnuKs, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5If you define "something good" as a story like "The most devastating kick ever!" then you're a ***** retard. You need the most devastating kick ever to the neck! Now YOU GO ***** YOURSELF.
    • Useight, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I wish I could digg that one down more than once.
  • carbbomb, on 10/10/2007, -44/+10Way to go and have more kids than you can handle!

    Dumb bitch.
  • Bluntman4000, on 10/10/2007, -20/+7She should give the kid back the pokemon cards and let the kids at school teach him the lesson!... "what...You play pokemon!?... hahaha (Insert group beating!) "
    • LembasBread, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2whatever, pokemon is awesome... at least for the DS and gameboy. Cards are pretty lame though.
  • Import98, on 10/10/2007, -25/+7It's good writing but I can't help feel this is some sort of an attention whorish thing to do.
    • Nerys, on 10/10/2007, -3/+4It probably is but not with malicious intentions me thinks. I think it was a venting. A way of letting of a little steam an emotional outlet. Sure it happens hundreds if not thousands of times a day. How often do you get to read about it? I found it entertaining and refreshing. I think it would be awesome if it the high bidder actually pays up and she gets a tiny windfall from it. BUT most likely some smoes will bid it up to crazy numbers and then not pay :-(
  • arbulus, on 10/10/2007, -12/+90Let me show you my POKEMANS!
  • Rimrose, on 10/10/2007, -10/+8LOL That was awesome. Made me laugh.
  • badboys213, on 10/10/2007, -25/+4damn, six kids? She can afford a $238 shopping spree, but for the love of god, can't put any of the kids on Ritalin?
    • AndrewDB, on 01/10/2008, -7/+3Ritalin is ***** expensive..
    • kahrytan, on 10/10/2007, -3/+23Ritalin is never the answer.
    • maelenna, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3That's a strange way to approach discipline! 'My kids won't behave because I haven't taught them how to, obviously I should drug them up to solve the problem'!!!
      Maybe good parenting and reproductive control would be a better idea!
      My partner has ADD and has, with the help of family and friends, learnt to cope without drugs, because they make you MORE SCREWED UP. Not something you should just force on a disobedient kid!
    • kinseyincanada, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9only $238 for six kids is damn cheap that's for sure.
    • AnotherBrian, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5$238 at a grocery store buying a lot of food in one big trip is not uncommon dumbass.
    • zwaldowski, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1What a great policy. "I can't control my kid, it must be their problem!" ADD and ADHD is simply a label. Either you're hyper or stupid, you can't have a bodily deficiency with attention... you chose whether or not to pay it.
    • arbulus, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2I don't believe in ADD. It's a ***** term that's applied to kids who were never taught how to behave like civilized humans. It takes responsibility away from the parents and puts it on some third party. "Oh, I don't actually have to be a parent or teach my kids anything. so, when they go nuts and act like animals, I can blame it on some disorder and cram some pills down their throat."

      It's *****. It's part of more fads in children's health that take responsiblity away from parents. Though, the new big craze is bipolar. All the kids are bipolar now. It's complete *****.
  • UtopiaInTheSky, on 10/10/2007, -28/+16Use condoms. The way this lady talks about her kids, it's obvious they're all accidents.
    • Synchro, on 10/10/2007, -4/+5Sounds like you do not have kids yourself. Kids are cute for a reason. Otherwise we parents might kill them. ;-)
      • mommyjo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3When my daughter was about 2, my husband and I took her to a book store (big mistake). After being done with the kids section, we were leaving. She lay down on the floor and waved "bye". 2 choices, leave her or pick her up. I chose the latter. The store got an earful of a toddler screaming "Help me Mommy Daddy! Let me go!!"

        Kids are cute, but some days you wonder why you let them live :)
    • SierraAlpha, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6It sounds like you were an accident too...
      • UtopiaInTheSky, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0As a matter of fact, I was. So I can understand the torture these younglings are going to (eventually) go through. Thanks for noticing, though.
    • maffiou, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2My kids drive me nuts but hey weren't accidents and I love them to bits... Shopping is quite comparable to what that woman is enduring...
      I'm just surprised she bothers taking them... I'd wait for Daddy to come home, take a behaved couple with me and that's it...

      These days you can shop online as well...
      • browwiw, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1Shut the ***** up. You got your whore ass drunk and forgot to use protection. Thanks for taking a big ***** on the environment by squating out some more consumers.
  • spawesume, on 10/10/2007, -14/+6Why are people bidding on this auction? Its just pokemon cards.
  • 0ceanic, on 10/10/2007, -38/+8goddamn. 6 kids dragged to a grocery store for 4 hours and no mention of their fathers? close your ***** legs. and quit being a bitch mom. let them eat cake.
    • uremomsnitemare, on 10/10/2007, -9/+2your whole comment was ***** stupid except you made me laugh when you said let them eat cake..
    • topace3000, on 10/10/2007, -5/+4Were you beaten as a child or does being a hateful, judgmental ***** come naturally? Presumably your parents had less than 6 kids... yet you still ended up this way.
    • deadmann, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5Fathers?
    • evilemma, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11She mentions her husband who taught them to have shopping trolley races dumbass!
  • Monstarr, on 10/10/2007, -7/+2What is the actual retail price of the cards? Seems that $53 is waaaay too much.
    • Kurisuku, on 10/10/2007, -7/+4About 10 dollars.. And the person who made the auction is a young guy with no kids. Just creative writing+internet spamming.
      • patch6, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2She has a blog, too.

    • Useight, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Man, I was too old to play with those cards. Or wear the cool-looking shirts, either. That sucked.
  • Melf26, on 10/10/2007, -5/+9Seems like she should be able to get her husband to watch the kids sometime. Sucky.
    • jin6655321, on 10/10/2007, -3/+3At the bottom it says (in response to a comment) that her husband works like 80 hours a week.
      • KidKenosha, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11They found time to *****, he should find time to father. It's called being a responsible parent.
        • primuspet, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6I would much rather have this guy work 80 hours a week to support his six offspring than to have him sit at home collecting a check from the government and eating welfare cheese. More power to him.
      • ShannaraFan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Yeah, "works" 80 hours a week. More likely chooses "not to be home" for 80 hours a week.
        • drachemorder, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1With those kids, can you blame him?
      • arbulus, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Yeah, ok, let's get a job that makes me work 80 hours a week. In the rare times that I'm home, my wife and I ***** and she gets pregnant. This just keeps happening until we have 6 kids, but I'm still not there to help care for the kids or raise the kids or anything else, I just put all the responsibility on my wife and then I wonder why our kids are complete ***** animals and why my wife wants to run away screaming.

        *****, inconsiderate, irresponsible nonsense. If you cannot be there for your family with just one child (for whatever reason), you have no ***** business having six.
  • Okari, on 10/10/2007, -3/+37Back in the day we only got a basic color for our energy cards, not any of this fancy starburst stuff.
    • Useight, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1"Pardon me, what flavor of Starburst did you just say?"
  • scooterMX, on 10/10/2007, -23/+8One word: Babysitter.

    Why is this wasting space on the front page?!
    • Nick2632, on 10/10/2007, -5/+4Why are you wasting space in the comments?
  • atbnet, on 10/10/2007, -15/+9lol the auction itself is lame, but the story she wrote is hilarious. That's probably alone why the bidding is so high.
    • arial, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2You think?

      [/sarcasm]
    • drachemorder, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Moral of the story: If you want to sell something on ebay, make up a funny story to post in the description.
  • thehouse, on 10/10/2007, -16/+2She ought to start a blog as a creative outlet... It might make for a fun 22 days of writing for her.
  • Oomsoup, on 10/10/2007, -14/+9What a cute idea, to sell the cards on ebay. I love that she gave us the whole story of the incident as well. Her blog is listed at the bottom of the auction so I bookmarked it. I think it will be worth looking through, she has a nice, comedic writing style.
  • ljkelley, on 10/10/2007, -19/+10As the youngest of six kids... this and other moms needs a good spanking. You don't drag six kids to the mall while you shop for dresses all day or take them all to walmart for food shopping and expect to have control over them. You make the father or someone else babysit while you shop. Kids are not designed to be bored out of their mind while you shop. Okay, rant over.
    • frostieDude, on 10/10/2007, -5/+2Read the article next time. She said she had no food in the house.
    • Rooster99, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7But he does have a point - If i was told to take 6 kids grocery shopping, I would make sure i could get someone to watch at least the youngest ones, or shop late at night. I know having 6 kids is hectic, but surly by planning ahead, the shopping can be done on a late night, so that someone is at home with the kids. Most people just refuse to change their routine, and just bitch about how hard it is to shop with 'x' kids tagging along. Its not like they didnt know having that many kids would be hard -
  • shanevendrell, on 10/10/2007, -9/+5Uurrrghh 6 kids urrrggghh....
  • Autoplectic, on 10/10/2007, -10/+125"I would rather swim, covered in bait, through the English Channel, be a contestant on Fear Factor when they’re having pig brains for lunch, or do fourth grade math than to take my six kids to the grocery store."

    she equates doing 4th grade math with swimming the english channel covered in bate or eating pig brains? no wonder her kids could sneak ***** past her.
    • jin6655321, on 10/10/2007, -6/+3I think she was listing off icky acts which lead her to Fear Factor and then decided to stick with the game show theme (Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader).
    • swanny89, on 10/10/2007, -2/+31Think about it. Wouldn't you want to blow your brains out after 3 hours of "times tables" and long division? That ***** could get downright repetitive.
    • ArandiaT, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10it was a joke
    • jamesburton1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3The English Channel is not shark invested water, doing so would achieve nothing!
      • LewisBreaker, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Loads of people swim the English Channel
  • screamsionara, on 10/10/2007, -19/+24and that's why i'm pro choice
    • khail250, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3as am i, but the good thing with choice, is she HAS a choice to have them, and chose to have them.
  • kahrytan, on 10/10/2007, -10/+3This mom should have sold all of her kids pokemon cards on eBay.
  • CapeKid, on 10/10/2007, -6/+24So, I herd she don't liek mudkips.
  • Carsonauto, on 10/10/2007, -13/+1Holy Dugg Down Batman!
  • shiftless, on 10/10/2007, -9/+3I think a somewhat more reasonable example would to have the kids do extra chores for a while, then give them the cards. You don't have to make a huge public spectacle of it...
    • Nerys, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1but her way is more fun and entertaining and gives her an emotional outlet to blow off some steam. I bet she felt a lot better after writing all that and pushing submit to send to the ether.
    • ArandiaT, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0hey, she's getting over $77 for them, I say that makes them worth it!
  • thealliedhacker, on 10/10/2007, -16/+2"the last time I let her push the cart, she smashed into my ankles so many times, my feet had to be amputated by the end of our shopping trip. This is not a good thing. You try running after a toddler with no feet sometime."

    What? She can't be serious... >_>
    • SwissCamel, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7I have a feeling that she is being completely 100% with out a shadow of a doubt serious!
  • boobsbr, on 10/10/2007, -17/+4"...she smashed into my ankles so many times, my feet had to be amputated by the end of our shopping trip. This is not a good thing. You try running after a toddler with no feet sometime."

    W T F???
  • pivovy, on 10/10/2007, -6/+37A+++
  • REUYL, on 10/10/2007, -2/+69Kids still buy Pokemon cards?
    • Frosty122, on 10/10/2007, -6/+0if you're 2-7 yes
    • Kurisuku, on 10/10/2007, -4/+2Pokemon has been bigger than ever the past few years. It's the fad that never died. Guess that means it wasn't a fad afterall?
      • KidKenosha, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Nah, it just means it's been well-marketed to stupid saps and impressionable kids.
    • mhuggins, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8No...their mom's do, clearly. :)
    • MarkTaiwan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6lol, i even seen 15 year olds play them...
      • Koldkompress, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9We didn't mean to insult your friends. =(
    • brainboy77, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Kids steal Pokemon cards? Seriously, if you get one of these things free, it's an embarassment.
    • dpowre, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0in my kindergarden graduation video they ask all the kids what they want to be when they gromw up.....one kid said i wanna be a ppokemon master. that was in '98 :D

      it was hilarious to look back on now.
  • crazzy88ss, on 10/10/2007, -11/+14what's stopped her from returning them?
    • derekivey, on 10/10/2007, -5/+3maybe the kids opened them and the store refused to take them back
    • meggani, on 10/10/2007, -4/+28The kids ripped open the box
      • Kurisuku, on 10/10/2007, -19/+3The kids probably deserve the cards after having to deal with such a selfish bitch mother.
        • DaveV, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2shouldn't you be in school?
        • ipxodi, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2You sound 12.

          Go up to your Momma and say "bitch". Did she slap you? You said it right!
    • Frosty122, on 10/10/2007, -4/+6well she thought it'd be fun to put it on Ebay she said, and it saves her a trip to the store...she goes to the post office, anyways to ship the other stuff she sells on ebay. by selling on Ebay, she just has to go to the PO....wow my grammar sucks balls...
    • firedrillduckie, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8The current bid is at $77...

      I'm pretty sure she didn't pay that much for them.
    • drachemorder, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6God doesn't have a return policy on kids. You're stuck with them.

      Oh wait, you meant the cards, didn't you?
  • Hoogs, on 10/10/2007, -16/+7Sheesh, kinda annoying how she decides to have six kids and then complains about it. She's an excellent writer though.
    • tf5bassist, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4there's a difference between complaining and explaining the situation and stating what goes on.

      You probably complain about all the idiots on digg, but you love the site.

      so. idiots on digg, yet we don't stop reading it, but still complain. kids are rambunctious and crazy, yet you love them all despite the fact you know they're going to misbehave.

      some things are just a given.
      • Hoogs, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Yeah, I guess you're right. I was kinda in a bad mood when I wrote that anyway.
  • Touchstone11, on 10/10/2007, -7/+19Damn. 6 kids and she's still alive? She definetly deserves a trophy

    BTW, has it occured to you people that the husband MIGHT be working?
    • dannyapplesauce, on 10/10/2007, -3/+2Has it occurred to YOU that she COULD do her shopping AFTER her husband comes home or maybe on a saturday or sunday morning? I'm sure she could bang it out in half the time without the kids.
      • dpowre, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0yea it syas thate shes a stay at home mom
  • CronicusX, on 10/10/2007, -5/+44You have just got to love the sarcastic humor the mother has.
    • lacr, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0With 6 kids you have to have to have a sense of humor or else I think you'd go out of your mind!
    • smpx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Actually, I think you have to be out of your mind to have 6 kids to begin with.
  • saegiru, on 10/10/2007, -25/+9She needs to shut up and close her legs, or buy some coat hangers the next time she's at the store.
  • Kurisuku, on 10/10/2007, -32/+5Buried as SPAM.

    This trick is as old as ebay. You do creative internet spamming with a FAKE STORY in order to get people to bid more than what your crap is worth. Lame! Diggers should know better. Shameful!
    • topace3000, on 10/10/2007, -5/+16Uh.. she has a blog about her kids.. it seems pretty legit. I guess you think you're some bigshot internet sleuth though, eh?
    • stklaw, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Well, at least i got to read a good story.
  • 0x0000ff, on 10/10/2007, -21/+9***** BREEDERS.

    Here's an idea, taking your ***SIX*** kids to the grocery store is ***** stupid. Leave them at home, get a sitter, get a man, do something ffs.

    It's not a testament to your strength and parenting, it's an idealogical display of why more people need to use contraception.
  • adb44281, on 10/10/2007, -19/+1I GOTA CATCH 3M AL!!!11!! OMG I HAEV B3N PLAYNG POKAMON SINCA I WAS 3 YAARS OLD AND SOMEDAY I WANT 2 MET PIKACHU!!!1!1! OMG WTF I THINK HE SI RAAL!!111!

  • 0x0000ff, on 10/10/2007, -5/+3Here's a synopsis:
    "I broke down and let them each pick out a box. At any given time, we have twenty open boxes of cereal in my house."

    useless mother gives in to spoilt brood.
