Dear Butt,
I have long needed to get a few things off my
chest, so here goes.
You are such a huge part of me. In fact, you
may be the biggest thing in my life. I can't tell you what it means knowing
that you are behind me 100%, my biggest supporter. You are my
anchor.
Oh sure, there are others in my life who lend
their support -- Feet, Legs, and Knees come to mind -- and they're all great,
but just between me and you? They complain a lot. But not you, Butt -- you
almost never complain, even when I really lean on you. (Don't get me started
about Back, who needs way more babying than anybody and frankly? hasn't
been reliable for several years. But this is not a snarky Back-biting session;
it's all about YOU, Butt.)
We've been together almost 43 years, and I've
watched you grow. How you've grown. You've made a career of growth, really.
You're like a growth industry. Though you don't have a glamorous job, and a lot
of your time is spent just sitting, you're always there, two steps -- well,
three steps -- behind me, hanging out, waiting to be of service. You may not be
the first one noticed when we enter a room, but you're definitely the one
they'll remember when we leave.
I know it is my responsibility to care for you,
clothe you, feed you, and feed you, and feed you, and I do, and I am happy to do
so, but it isn't enough. I need to express my appreciation for your solid
support, and for being a soft place to land when I'm down. Thank you, Butt.
You have gravitass, my friend.
Love,
Laurie
p.s. Don't pay any attention to silly Boobs;
nobody else does.









After reading this, some may opt for silicon butt implants. Wear it proud. Anyway, I've seen Butt pads advertised to make buns look bigger. Who needs em.

Yet another homerun. Who else would ever have thought to write a letter to her butt? You are a comic genius, my friend.
Posted by: MommyTime | June 19, 2008 at 09:26 AM
In the new reality of downsizing and offshore offloading. The butt has managed to stay afloat if you will. It must have friends in high places.
Hey shit happens right?

You're hilarious. Freakin' hilarious. This was total bloggy awesomeness. A growth industry. I hear ya!
One of the kids in our big family said to my mother once, "WOW, you have a bottom." And now I get to carry on the torch.
Posted by: Ok, Where Was I? | June 19, 2008 at 09:12 AM
That. Was awesome. I'm going to wait a little while and totally steal this post. Okay, I won't, but I'm definitely going to link to it.

Butts & Boobs, like having 2 children - I can't and won't say that one is better at the expense of the other. Each have their own characteristics, personalities and quirks.
My life is truly fulfilled when I hold both :)

...Miss Fool'ry, I just hope none of us are around when your butt decides to respond to your "ode to the toothless wonder" post...lol ;o)
...Booty load o' blessings to ya... :o)
Posted by: tj | June 19, 2008 at 08:36 AM
This was absolutely hilarious, and so wonderfully sweet - no tough talk about whippin' into shape or not laggin' behind! ;-)
Posted by: MamaMo | June 19, 2008 at 07:19 AM
I hear ya, too. I wish someone would pay attn to other parts of me but Dear Hiney gets the looks. But not in a good way.
My daughter likes the book for kids (8-12 yr olds) called "The Day My But Went Psycho" about a Butt that escapes. Perhaps you could read this aloud to your butt, (standing so it can really hear) and it will get ideas to escape. I sure wish mine would!

I think we have the same back....and boobs.

What a beautiful ODE TO YOUR TUSH.
I'm impressed.
