I see these people way more often than I see my own family. Or friends. Or actual classmates. In fact, I feel like I know them. And I’ll just go ahead and say, I feel bad for her. Honestly. I mean, she has to deal with having that scary-phase freshman-year photo plastered everywhere along with the not-so-veiled insult. And, really, what’s so great about him? He doesn’t look like the most amazing life partner ever. Because I’m pretty positive he’s not all that sensitive, ambitious, or helpful raising all those seven kids. In fact, I’m quite sure she’s the glue, keeping it all together, pulling the weight for the whole family of nine…while he’s running around in his Z28, drinking Miller High Life, listening to Sammy Hagar or something. So, yes, she married him. And I, for one, think he needs to just thank his lucky stars everyday that she doesn’t dump him and run off with that french-horn-playing math-genius she used to date in high school. But that’s just me.

I'm Laura Mayes, a writer and one of the founders of Mighty Events & GoMighty, of the Mom 2.0 Summit, and of Kirtsy. Some things I've written have won an Emmy. Other things are in Kirtsy Takes a Bow. And a whole lot of others are right here where you've landed. Welcome. Any questions?
Follow me:
I think you have it wrong – the emphasis is supposed to be on the HIM, as in "she married HIM?" Someone so obviously able to get whomever she chooses . . . and she chose . . . HIM? That's how I read it. Also, I think they're happy. I mean, how could you have 7 kids and not be happy? Totally blissfully happy all the time.
This post is so, so funny. And Eric? You're funny too.
you are so awesome. just so awesome.
Are you insinuating that sensitive, ambitious and helpful guys don't drink Miller High Life? It's the Champagne of Beers, you know. I drink Miller High Life. Sometimes.
I was thinking more along the lines of a muscle shirting hooters attending peter frampton type.but maybe that's just me.
Yeah! And he probably has a receding hair line, a big ole beer gut and recently got a promotion to the mail room. Loser.
Rhonda, I totally was thinking the same thing!*sigh*Comment-confounded yet again at Casa Con Queso!
I'm with you…I hate those ads almost as much as I hate the ones for the mortgage rates that have people silhouttes dancing on the roof…YUCK!
Ugh, thank you for bringing this up. I see that ad at least once a day and it's like, "Yes, she married him, and yes, they have seven kids. How is there someone that still doesn't know that?!"
GcQ, you know how I feel about that picture of me! It's bad enough that the whole Internet sees it, but now you have to put it on your blog?! I am so disappointed in you. Did you want the one of me as a baby naked in the bathtub, too?!
You are so funny!
Let me try this again—You are so funny!!!
I hate those two. they send me no less than 20 emails a week.
Hilarious. But maybe it is just shocking that anyone would marry someone they knew in high school? That sounds like I am against marrying your high school sweetheart, but I am not. It just surprises me every time. And then I say, "SHE married HIM?" Ok, not really.
LOL I've often wondered about them, too!
Too funny! I like and tend to agree with your analysis.
She's too good for him. She needs a good divorce lawyer. And an IUD.
I think everyone is so stunned they got married because she obviously graduated with Marcia Brady in 1974 and he graduated with Mike Seaver in 1987. The Harold and Maude Society is so proud!!
Zoe, that's what I thought, too.Or maybe she found a picture of him with the football coach en flagrante and blackmailed him into marriage.
Mark, you're right, Miller High Life is the new Pabst Blue Ribbon.Jenny, an IUD is obviously needed here. These crazy kids are rabbits.And SZ and Robyn, that's exactly another thing I was thinking. And now that I think about it more, I think she was that crazy student teacher we tortured our senior year.
Sammy Hagar? Miller High Life? Seven kids?*snort*
All right, I confess. That photo was me.(What? I went to high school in the nineties and therefore could not have possibly ever owned glasses that hideous? Au contraire).
LOL! I wondered about that girl, how she feels about having her photo plastered all over like that.
Next will be the singles ads:SHE left HIM — and now they both want to date YOU!
They need new poster children at that site! I get sick of seeing those pics. Funny!

Howdy just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren’t loading correctly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different browsers and both show the same outcome.
