So we went to a fancy restaurant to celebrate Chef's upcoming 50th birthday.  And there at the bar was a gaggle of three GUBMs that were loudly cackling and talking about their birthing experiences in great detail so that everyone could hear how many centimeters they were dilated what epidurals they took etc etc.   Now I will say I had the most horrendous birthing experience but I would never scream about it out in public!

 So I started reading the article about how to tell if you have a GUBM on your hands to try and drown out the very loud GUBMs sitting next to us.

I got about three bullet points in before Chef was like "that's enough."    It's just now that I read that to Chef as I would have never dared to in the early years.  He was a complete Disney dad and into totally placating the Gir.  Fact is it has just been this last year that he is admitted marrying the Gir was a huge mistake.

Meanwhile Chef revealed to me that he got an email about YSS15 skipping school.  Schools here are now all of a sudden being super vigilant about notifying parents ( Chef NEVER got an email before stating that any of the skids were skipping-- and they routinely do)  because there was a case of a 14 year old kid who routinely skipped school and it appeared as though his single Mom couldn't care less.

 Seems the school district got in the habit of marking him present so they didn't get slammed by the administration for bad stats.  Kid was getting bussed way across town.   Anyways the kid took off instead of entering the school and ended up walking on a bridge a few miles away and probably slipped and fell into the water.   Very tragic but now the family is suing the school district.

The GUBMs finally left and the noise level calmed down to lower than a 767 taking off.
