The Hardest Words To Hear ....

Okay, I'm trying something new. I'm working on a topic supplied from "The Crazy Hip Blogger". This time the topic is "The Hardest Words to Hear." The idea is you read this (and love it, of course), and then you visit "The Crazy Hip Blogger" and read what other people wrote (and love or like or hate or ignore it as you see fit).

Well, I can hardly decide where to begin. There are so many ways I can go with this topic, "The Hardest Words to Hear."

I mean, the obvious choices come from my "Mommy" rant -- the hardest words to hear from Toddler are:

1. Uh oh. Pee pee in the pants again. Me need go potty.
2. MOMMY! I STUCK!
3. Uh oh. Uh oh. Uh oh.

Yep. I sure hate hearing those.

And then I have the rest of my life. The hardest words to hear in my day in and day out crap:

4. The car needs gas. (I hate to gas up the car.)
5. We're out of milk.
6. The vegetable of the day is carrots.

From my days as a lawyer ... there were so many to choose from, but lots of them are prohibited topics under my oath of confidentiality. That means I can't tell you the good stuff. So, we will just have to hit the generic, stereotypical stuff:

7. How long would it take you to ... (insert project that has to be done by tomorrow so why are you asking me anyway?).
8. Can we move the closing up a week or so?
9. You aren't working on anything else, are you?
10. Where are you going on vacation? Be sure to check your Blackberry!

But, if I had to pick just one phrase, as the hardest words of all to hear, I would have to pick this one?

11. What does your husband want for Christmas?

Need I say more?
