  5. My oldest daughter was aghast at the radish cure and the lock-the-child-in-the-bedroom cure, so I'm sure she'd think these were bordering on abuse. But I think they're brilliant!

  13. I don't think Piggle Wiggle made it up to NoDak. Maybe that's why we were so dirty.

  14. “The Lunch Money Not Extra-Shot-Venti-No-Foam-Latte Money Cure”

    Oh, yeah. When I was getting lunch money... um... a long time ago... 1980+... I used to run over to the local pizza joint and spend it on Donkey Kong. At least I was running. Ha!

    Awesome post.

    Cheers,

    Your updates are brilliant.

  29. Here from Marinka's. Dear Lord, this cracked me up! We were huge Piggle Wiggle fanatics as kids, so I'm sending this link to my sister right now.

    And my son? Wants to tell all his friends to get him Lego gift cards for his bday. I'm mortified.

  30. I'm pretty sure my daughters would think the sale at Forever 21 is definitely a cell phone emergency use....
    These are hysterical!

  31. HA! It's only on my laptop that I can't post a comment here. It won't load my blog correctly either. Weird, I even switched to Firefox,per yours and others suggestions, which is faster, but apparently won't fix my laptop.
    I don't know Mrs Piggle Wiggle, but I think we could use her help around here.
    How about 'Everything Is Your Mothers Fault Cure'.

  32. How have I managed to spend my entire life missing out on this bottomless curly-tailed wisdom? Until today, I don't think I've ever heard the words Miss Piggle Wiggle uttered in my presence, except when standing in line at the County Fair Fried Foods Emporium Shack.

    This could become a daily "Cure" list as far as I'm concerned.
