From time to time I will post ads on free classified websites to get my fiveallmine.com name out there. Considering I haven’t spent a cent on advertising, it has done amazingly well with over 20,000 hits in 7 months.

Yesterday I decided to post an ad on Kijiji and did so, basically just outlining my website and that I had 5 kids in 6 years and write about funny, parenting related topics. I was surprised this morning to see a reply! I have never received one and couldn’t imagine why I had.
.
This is what it said:
.
whoop i have 5 kids as well
.
A simple looking line, but I had to read it over several times to figure out that it was meant as sarcastic, maybe that’s because I’m typically a positive person or maybe I’m just slow, but whatever, it took me some time to figure out the context of ‘whoop.’ Now I realize that it was meant as ‘big whoop’. Remember when we used to say that when we were 15?
.
It made me laugh out loud! I bet this woman did not plan on making me laugh, but she did. She even gave a real email address, so while I did contemplate writing her back, I ended up taking the high road and just sat back and chuckled instead.
.
I hope this poor woman is not 15. If so, she would have had to have her kids even closer together than I did, maybe with a couple sets of twins. Hmmm, maybe that is the case and maybe that’s why she is so bitter…
.
In that case, she deserves to be bitter, but maybe she should try using some birth control.
.
I’ve heard it works! Whoooppp!
