"You're a Puke" list

The "You're a Puke" List

April 26, 2010 by sue campbell

A few posts ago, I mentioned my “You’re a Puke” list.  KLZ over at Taming Insanity demanded a recital of the entire list.  So, here goes:

  • You are a parent and you still smoke
  • You leave your toddlers and preschoolers alone in the car while you run in someplace for a “second”
  • You have truck nuts
  • You have a profane bumper sticker
  • You drive aggressively
  • You try to instill cynicism in the young
  • You regale uninterested people with tales of your drinking exploits
  • In public (or private) you angrily say the following to your six-year-old, “I don’t want to hear the sound of your little voice!” (I almost punched this guy.)
  • You smoke at public transit stops
  • You fail to yield your seat to the elderly, disabled and pregnant
  • You cuss loudly and unreservedly in public
  • You spit on the street
  • You fail to pay child support
  • You force your child into activities you wish you had excelled in
  • You dress your toddler in a TapouT t-shirt

Such a list, compiled by just one person, can never be truly comprehensive, so I’ll need your help.  Please add your criteria for the “You’re a Puke” list in the comments.

What kind of blog is this?

This is a blog for PARENTS. True, the writer, Sue Campbell, writes books for kids. But this blog is for grown-ups. It has some swearing and would be super boring for kids. Except for the swearing.

The PODCAST is for KIDS and PARENTS. In fact, my twelve-year-old daughter is my co-host.

If your kids like Sue's books, send them over to suecampbellbooks.com where there's some kid-friendly content. EVEN BETTER, join the mailing list. You get stuff for grown-ups and printable stuff for kids. And sometimes there will be super ill-advised giveaways or coloring contests for free books.

MORE ABOUT SUE: She makes an ACTUAL LIVING from writing words and marketing books and lives with her husband, two daughters, six chickens and one messy house rabbit in Portland, Oregon. And yes, Portland IS that weird. She really couldn't be any luckier.
