So the other week, as certain blogger (cough-Monique-cough) offered me her cute-as-can-be daughter, who she nicknamed “Mini Ga” after taking this picture of the lovely Miss Haley.

I believe her words were, and I quote, “take the crazy blondie off my hands”. And, being in desperate need of some female companionship around here, I gladly accepted. We’re going to have tea parties, do our nails together, maybe some baking . . . it’ll be awesome!
But then, another blogger (cough-Meredith-cough) indicated that said daughter was to be HER’S and not mine.
Well. As I told Little Miss Flash Pasteurized, I am not about to lie down and let her take The Haley Ga from me.
Sure – Meredith tried to prove her worth. In fact she did her best with this photographic comparison the other day.

Whatever Meredith. Not even close.
So I’m here today to launch a defensive and get my Little Ga back.
Exhibit A


We actually LOOK alike. We truly COULD be related. No? I mean, we both own a pink boa for heaven’s sake!
Exhibit B

The other night we attended the Olympic Opening Ceremonies together. I believe you’ll see the Canadian athletes entering the stadium behind us. This was really the highlight of the evening for me. Well, besides having Haley Ga at my side.
Exhibit C

In this pic she’s shooting a little stick on our backyard ice rink with my son. They get along SO well. Almost like they’re related.
And so, my Bloggies, I’m sure you’ll agree that the Haley Ga belongs with The Only Girl.
Although then I suppose I’d have to change the name of my blog. Which would mean I’d have to get my tattoo re-done. Hmmmm. Okay then. How about joint custody Meredith? Can we come to some kind of a compromise?

Um, no one can take Haley Ga off Monique’s hands until Monique comes to my house and picks up her second daughter, Zoe. I’ve been trying for months to ship her back to California, but apparently the USPS frowns on shipping humans.

You never told me you went to the Olympics,…. Beatch!!!!
February 19th, 2010 at 12:16 pm
OHHH MY GAWD, cher!!!!! baaahahahahahah, hahahaha, hahahahahahahah.
okay, now that i’ve composed myself – it’s on like donkey kong. seriously. i watch so much UFC/MMA fighting i could so easily take you down and win the heart of my hagaga (that’s her nickname, by the way. short for haley gaga. she likes my nicknames. because she loves me.)
BUT… i will consider joint custody. in fact, for the sake and overall health of hagaga, i believe i will concede to this idea: canada 48%, texas 48%, california 4%. she will grow up to be such a multi-cultural rockstar and we will be such good mothers. and she will make us popular.
with love,
your joint-custody partner

Yes. I agree. Hagaga’s health and emotional well-being should come first. So I will agree to your terms. But only because I know how much it killed you that we went to the Olympics together and you didn’t get to come.
Love

And Surferwife, I’m pretty sure your little girl’s Ga pic is about to go viral.
February 19th, 2010 at 12:49 pm
BWAHAHA!! Awesome. Haley Gaga looks so happy. Though Mer seems like she’d be a super fun psuedo-mom…hmmmm.

My Mini Ga doesn’t fall for that kind of bribery. She’s far too cool for toys and candy. Nice try though Massachusetts Girl!

The photographic evidence is strong.
And you do need the female companionship.
But I think Meredith arrived at a reasonable compromise. If I was on the jury, I’d vote for that.
That way, nobody wins and both of you are disappointed with the way I voted. And disappointing people is what I do best.
February 19th, 2010 at 8:18 pm
BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!
I totally know what’s going on here and that is the BEST freakin’ photo post I have seen in a long, long time! You made me laugh seriously! yay!!!
February 20th, 2010 at 1:11 am
That’s it. I officially love you and your sweet photoshopping skillz. The resemblance between you and Haley Ga in that first pic is uncanny! I was just about to go to bed, but now I’m laughing too hard!
February 20th, 2010 at 8:41 pm
Bwahahaha!!
You could totally pass for her big sister. I think the courts will surely go for joint custody.
February 20th, 2010 at 8:54 pm
I need to get my act together with photoshop – i used to be a film student for god’s sake – it’s just shameful that i don’t know how to use photoshop!
That’s an adorable pic – too cute!
February 21st, 2010 at 12:27 pm
I will represent you in this custody battle. I will be the Johnny Cochraine to your OJ…wait, that’s not a good thing. Anyway, I will be sure you get Mimi Ga and any pets, electronic equipment and child support due to you!
