Be Your Own Bouncer means that we're not going to card you, but you should card yourself. We all know that there are little kids who are born wise old souls and grown adults who will just never get it. We all know that wine ages in different ways. We have a nearly two decade span of ages among the contributors to Mother Drunkest. Some of us are more Beaujolais Nouveau, others, more of a 1990 Cab. We are all very drinkable, but we're very diverse. We bring a lot of diversity in other ways as well: backgrounds, nationality, education, family size and structure, life experiences... Good Scotch mellows with age; so do people, and so will some of our comments, after you've read them and given them time to settle, probably. Think about it.
We made this an 18+ blog because we will talk about grown up subjects: We swear. We talk about intimate body parts. We laugh at things others might find inappropriate. And we do laugh. We quite enjoy each other and have been known to ROTFL when someone is crazy witty . Really this is for our entertainment, and we find what's here quite funny. We had a big laugh just getting this set up. We also celebrate hyperbole. It's a great literary tradition, and one we will use freely. Not only will we change names to protect the innocent, we will exaggerate to make a point, or to make the story more interesting. This is a blog, it isn't journalism. So you needn't report us to CPS, or AA, or the local Bishop, thanks. Grow a sense of humor, or don't read us! We will certainly stop doing this when it stops being fun.
Not all of our posts will be happy or funny. While we are lucky in so many ways, like all humans we have our moments of sadness. Our tears and words are not meant as a pity-party or an invitation to berate us for not appreciating what we do have. They are an outpouring of emotion so we may feel comforted and move on. But just as passionately as we laugh and joke, we love. Our families and our friends are our lives. We love them with every ounce of our bodies and souls. Taking what we say in context will be your best bet when reading this blog - our complaints and rants are nothing more than venting. Don't ever doubt our love and loyalty to those with whom we choose to share our lives. Because if you do, we will go all mama bear on your ass! (test joke, to see if you're paying attention)
Please do try to remember that we live in a free country with free speech. This is a free blog. You probably found this through some free means. It's free to read, share, and respectfully comment on our posts. If you get offended, celebrate your freedom to stop reading this. Just don't push your freedom onto us. You're free, not entitled.
That being said, Bottoms Up!
