A loyal reader emailed me this weekend asking:

“Hey Cher – Where’s today’s blog update??!!  I tune in nightly to read another update from the world of “The Only Girl” only to find nothing.  What am I to think?  Has some tragedy befallen the The Only Girl and her clan, or has she simply lost interest in updating the outside world already?  We hang on bated .com breath for another update from the world of The Only Girl.”

Well, as I responded to my loyal reader, The Only Girl will only be posting Monday to Friday.  And not on holidays – which it is today.  Because weekends are busy enough around The Only Girl Compound.  What with the laundry, the cooking, the cleaning, the never-ending tidying up, the grocery shopping, the play-dates, the sleep-overs, the social engagements, the gardening and the sports schedules.  And did I mention the never-ending tidying up?  So on the weekends, and today on this holiday, she’s taking the day off.

But I’ve arranged a special treat for you.  Today I have a guest poster.

So now, without further ado, all the way from The Only Girl’s living room, may I introduce my favourite eldest son and his first attempt at joke writing.  Take it away, Liam . . .

Liam says “If you have a First Aid Kit, and you lose it, and you have to buy a new one . . . would it be called a Second Aid Kit???”

buh-dum-dum!  (queue the laugh track)

He’s here all week ladies and gentlemen.  Try the veal!
