Oh Yes! Wife.Imp IS a Joy-Sucker!!

Now before you guys start with the bedroom eyes, envisioning crushed, red-velvet curtains and wall hangings, a king-sized, heart-shaped bed (that vibrates), and cheesy-1970s soundtrack playing in the background, let us just say that the the only thing I know of named Joy, works with Barbara Walters on 'The View.'

So, how is it that wife.imp is now known as 'Joy-Sucker' here at the Playground?

We were on our way to Church this a.m. and discussing what girl.imp could do career-wise with her penchant for drawing (and perhaps enrolling her into art classes this summer).

wife.imp:...you know if you want to be an artist you can go to school to be a Graphic Artist and not have to worry about being a starving artist. (Tony this sound familiar?)
girl.imp: Huh?
me: mommy is sucking the joy out of being a Starving Artist, honey!
girl.imp: Mommy is a Joy Sucker!

OK, I never use "LOL," but I did, quite literally, just surprise myself by laughing. Out loud. Startled a couple of dogs, too.

I am a graphic artist. And I am not starving. Though I am currently looking for chocolate...

Can my wife join that club? She too is a Joy Sucker...sometimes. But I haven't convinced her of that yet.

Isn't the word wife from the latin - wifum - which means to suck joy? I think so.
