4.) A blog post inspired by the word: passport
Me: We’re missing Kainoa’s social security card and your passport in our fire protected safe…I’d really like those items found and come to think of it, I’d really like all of the kids to have passports…
Pat: why?
Me: I don’t know…in case we need to flee the country or something.
Pat: (insert laughter)
Me: What? What? Why are you laughing?
Pat: Flee the country? Do you think China is going to invade us and take over?
Me: It could happen.
Pat: (insert laughter)
Me: Or maybe Ellen DeGeneres could call and be like “we love you and we want to send your entire family to Paris tomorrow!!!”
Pat: Then you tell Ellen we need time to get passports for our kids.
Me: Well that would just take the thrill out of the whole surprise now wouldn’t it?
Pat: Look, I could understand if you said you wanted to drive over to Canada for a weekend with the kids, but flee the country? Ellen DeGeneres? You’re out of your mind.
Me: I’m just saying, you never know what could happen and you’re going to be mighty happy I’ve got all of our passports ready when the time to flee the country DOES come. We’ll see who has the last laugh on this one!
Come on Ellen…don’t fail me now…

I can see why you’d want passports available–what with dictators invading neighboring countries all around the world. You never know what Canada or Mexico will do :D
May says
I know it seems like Ellen has been deaf to your pleas in the past, but I think you are right. She is just waiting for the right moment to call and spring the Paris plan on you!
Dominique Goh says
I too am looking for a vacation. I’ve just got all the kids passports updated :)
Kyliegh Kite says
You know I had never thought of that but it is not a bad idea! I can totally relate to wanting to be prepared!
Betsy says
That would be amazing! I have never even thought of getting a passport.
Mamarific says
I feel itchy that my kids don’t have passports, too. Need to look into that. Come on, Ellen!
Madeleine says
Does Ellen know the opportunity she’s missing here? Surely it’s only a matter of time…
You’ve just reminded me I need to get onto renewing my kids’ passports. My 4-year-old’s passport photo was taken when she was 3 weeks old. Kinda unrecognisable.
Tracy P. says
Dang! Why would you need to leave the country when you are sledding in the alps???
Tina says
I am with you–you never know when you will have to flee the country!
Kat says
Thank you! Better to be prepared for invasion at all times.
carol says
hahaha! That is too funny! And, you never know when you really will have to flee the country! BTW, where are you sledding? That looks like my neck of the woods.
Kat says
We were at Mt. Rainier National Park! So beautiful!

It’s a shame you don’t have a donate button! I’d without a doubt donate to
this excellent blog! I guess for now i’ll settle for book-marking and adding your RSS feed
to my Google account. I look forward to fresh updates and
will share this site with my Facebook group. Talk soon!
Miriam Gomberg says
there are days I want to flee the country too. I totally get it.
Lisa @ Atypical Familia says
Hahahaaa – Love the conversations between you and your husband! Here’s hoping Ellen comes through for you :)

I was suggested this web site by my cousin. I’m not sure whether this post is written by him as no one else
know such detailed about my trouble. You are incredible! Thanks!
Mo says
Lol! I often get a little concerned that we don’t have our passports. You are right. You never know when you will need to flee the country! Seriously.
Martha says
Yeah, I agree with the passports. We do passport pictures where I work, and I keep saying I really should get both Tara and I passports… just in case!
what is a linkwheel says
I usually do not drop a ton of responses, however i did
some searching and wound up here Writer
Kat M says
Your husband will be falling over himself to apologize for doubting you when we Canadians invade and you have to flee down to Mexico. We’re a tough bunch you know (snort…)
Andrea says
If I had my passport and none of my family members did, I’d flee the country while they scrambled to get theirs taken care of. I figure I’d get at least a two-week vacation out of my trouble.
