Bust magazine managed to combine two of my favorite things on the cover of the latest issue: Amy Sedaris and cake. The love of cake is self-explanatory, but I love Amy Sedaris because of gems like this quote from the Bust interview in which she explains her thoughts on children:
It's easy for me to get into a fight with [kids] for some reason. They can just push my buttons. … [Friend and frequent collaborator] Paul Dinello walked in on me once, and I was having an argument on the phone with somebody, which I never do. He goes, 'Who are you talking to?' and I go, 'This f–king three-year-old!' Someone had sent me some kind of tools in the mail, and I tracked the number down and was asking him, 'Why'd you send these to me?' I said, 'Is your mother home?' and he kept saying, 'No!' and I was like, 'Oh, right, you're three and your mom's not there?' … It turned out Paul had ordered the tools off eBay from the three-year-old's parents.

And Mollygood managed to combine 2 of my favorite things in this post: Bust magazine and Amy Sedaris! I prefer cupcakes to cake, granted cupcakes are more difficult to pop out of.
I just got mine in the mail yesterday and am so looking forward to reading the article! Thanks for the preview, you guys rock.
I loves Jerri Blank!
It's fun arguing with three year olds, especially when they aren't yours. It's easier to win those arguments. Parents never win, but outsiders can exploit their overall general outsider scariness.
And Amy Sedaris rocks.

Amy is pure Goddess! (You can't kill the Rooster)
Come to El Paso Dear One!
Mmmmmm, cake. F'in 3 year olds. I have one of those. They always think they're right.
3-year-olds are the best. I volunteer at my local daycare, and yesterday this boy was like "I like your hair." And I was like "Thanks! I like your hair." Then he was like "It looks like it has a road in it!!" Best. Compliment. Ever.
And this adorable girl was playing with her doll and drawing an octupus. Then the kids started talking about how octupuses "fart legs." And she was like "ONCE I SAT ON MY MOM'S FACE AND FARTED ON IT."
Stop being octopussies. You know toddlers are the best.
PS
When I was in Thailand, I rode a van to school with a bunch of 5-year-olds. Sometimes they would just randomly yell "I WANT PUSSSSYYY." 5-year-olds!!!!! Hahahahaha.

You are so right! I have a very close to 3 year old, and he is obsessed with things he can't have/do/say right now. My favorite (and at the same time not favorite) was when we were eating dinner (my husband was in the living room watching baseball) and my son muttered under his breath "are you f-ing (he didn't leave out any letters though) kidding me?", which just happens to be my husband's favorite thing to say. He now knows he can't say it, and he will say it when he thinks I am not listening. He has no idea what he is saying, but he knows it is bad.
Also he just hid out in our garage last Sunday and drank a Jack Daniel Downhome Punch that my husband left in the garage after a night of hanging with the neighbors. While he didn't drink it all (maybe a few sips) he drank enough to make him sleep an extra hour or two during his afternoon nap.
Wait, now that i think about it I do not share your humor for the 3 year old.
F'ing three year olds.
@ilnazhad,
Your comment is the most hilarious thing I've read all day. Holy crap, you made me snort. You're right though, toddlers usually are the funniest people at any party.
Paul Dinello is her ex-boyfriend as well which explains why he would have things delivered to her place :)
um is amy trying to tell us she may be a bit retarded, b/c as we all know and remember "they all like cake"
The wisdom of 3 year olds. Mine likes to ask me embarrasing questions in front of strangers. Like why is that ladies belly so big. No, she was not pregnant.
Juju! Once my dad asked a large woman if she is pregnant. And my mom once did this in front of me, as well.
A few weeks ago, we were at Subway and I was ordering lunch. He was waiting outside. He walked in an went up to a posh woman and her pretentious daughter. The girl was in a soccer uniform. He interrupts there conversation and goes "what did you do for your knees?" And the girl is like "pardon?" And then he just repeats himself with a louder voice. Then he walked back outside.
He was referring to the dirt on her knees.
seeldee- I know, huh? I'm most content when surrounded by children. Unless they insist on playing "mommy catty and baby kitties." They swarm you and they… uuummm… I don't like talking about it.
To be honest, sometimes I get grossed out when they are overtly sexual. The other day a little girl and a little boy were touching each other's genitals. It's that day I learned that one cannot overdose on Flintstone multivitamins.
No, you can't. It just turns your pee weird day-glow colors. It looks like you ate a chemical light.
She's not that great when you meet her in person and give her a love note with pictures you drew of her and your cat and you give her your phone number and then she totally doesn't call.
At least, she hasn't called yet.
There's still time.
PS. I own a cake made by Amy Sedaris. It's been in my cupboard for 10 months. True story.
Jenny, Bloggess: Put that cake in your freezer. Your cats might get into it when your not home.
what could possibly be better than pix of cake and Amy?? i don't know! this rocks!
I <3 Amy.
Love her to bits.
She did date Paul Dinello, but I guess that hasn't been for years and years, apparently they're just BFF now.
