It's time to come clean . . . again. . . about something different though . . .

I was going to wait until Christmas to reveal this startling news to my family, but then I thought . . . "No, better to do it via my blog, where no one can hurt me."

This post just got interesting didn't it?

I want you to think for a minute. What could Madelyn do that might want to make family members hurt her?

Okay, enough already. I'm just going to show you.




No, that's not a stamp. That is a tattoo.

It's a copyright tattoo to be exact. In a way, I don't think my Dad should be mad at me because basically I just branded myself with his name. And really, my mom shouldn't be mad at me either . . . I just copyrighted THEIR work.

So parents, YOU'RE WELCOME!

Besides, if you're going to be mad at somebody, you should be mad at Jon, he knew about it and didn't say anything (sorry brother, every person for themselves).

As a little sister who had to keep many many secrets for her older sister from everyone else in the family, this post struck a very personal, very anxiety inducing chord.

(cool tattoo though!)

Oohhhhhshiiii. You are so grounded.

Really sweet tattoo though. And not even the kind that you'll regret when you're 80!

how can your parents be mad about something that's really just a testament to them?

i think i was singing the jeopardy song a little too slow because i got to the end a little early.

So I'm hoping that what we are looking at here is on your wrist?

Can't go wrong with Muller - at least they will let you into Germany. Gonna be hard to be an undercover CIA agent, however.

Anyway, doesn't a tattoo disqualify you from donating blood?

They forgot the umlaut...

Syar - Sorry about that. It's not hard for our family to keep secrets from each other though. we all live hundreds of miles away from each other, and only talk about once every few months.

Cofo - In a few years I might have the three changed to an 8.

Cadiz - exactly.

anon 1 - I know it's a shocker, but this is what happens when you hang out with a lot of people who have tattoos.

anon 2 - yes, it is my wrist./ Damnit, I didn't think of the effect it would have on my CIA agent future./ I'm most upset about not being able to donate blood, which is why I made sure I donated three times this year before I got it, so I could be at the gold level. I'll start donating again in a year.

anon 3 - I'm American. If I ever move to Germany though, I can add the umlauts.

anon 3 -

I just want to say thanks for trying to throw me under the bus. That was really thoughtful of you. And second, what she really wanted to get was an eagle that covered her entire face. I talked her down. You're welcome everyone.

Tattoos are a part of life now. I guess parents today have to have THE talk and then the tattoo/piercings/other bodily mutilations talk, too.
