If I could, I would use it in every single sentence.
Here are some of the things that come to mind today when I think of the word PREPOSTEROUS.
IT IS PREPOSTEROUS THAT LEVI NEEDS A WHITE TURTLE NECK!!!
For this one, I am envisioning a Christmas movie, such as the humor of Chevy Chase or the new movie called Four Christmases.
So, Levi brings home a note from his teacher saying that he NEEDS a white turtle neck for their production. Right away when I read this I am envisioning a catastrophic ending to the movie. You see, it ALWAYS seems that when Levi is required a certain item for school it can almost NEVER be found.
Take for instance the time he was supposed to have black shoes for the Christmas production.
I seriously looked everywhere, but to no avail.......
BUT, I always pull through.
Cause I WILL NEVER BE THAT MOM WHO DOES NOT HAVE THE STUFF FOR HER CHILD...SO I DO WHATEVER IT TAKES.
So I found black shoes, but they were wheely shoes.
JUST imagine the look on that teacher's face when he wore them to the production.....
So back to the WHITE TURTLE NECK.
Of course, left to the last minute.
I am strolling through WALMART.
I did find one, but for a three year old.
HMMMMM. I wonder if Levi can squeeze into that??
Nope.
So, I am back to envisioning this as a movie.
I am on my way out, of course, with defeat.
When I spot the shirt, almost glowing with light.
Almost like it is being displayed in a showcase.
AND I am envisioning all the school moms seeing it and running towards it.
Meanwhile hair is being pulled, I am tackled to the ground, and all because I want the shirt.
DID I mention that it is size 6?? And only one left?
Picture the movie JINGLE BELLS where they are all fighting over the Turbo Man Doll.
AND imagine a fast, racy Christmas tune playing in the background while us moms are going at it.
Too perfect.
But, I won; I won the one last white Turtleneck! WHAT ELSE COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?
ONE LAST THING..................................................
THE MOST PREPOSTEROUS thing I can think of............................
MEN LICKING LOLLIPOPS.
IT ANNOYS ME LIKE YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE.
AND, I DON'T KNOW WHY.
ONLY LITTLE BOYS ARE ALLOWED TO LICK LOLLIPOPS.
Now that is cute....The above photo is anything but PREPOSTEROUS.

Turtlenecks are outdated, except those that ski...Next time ask me, because I always have a white turtle neck....
O Lora, you are one mother who lives in a world of a preposterous family.
This could hound you the rest of your life.
This post reminded me of when I sent my oldest to a school choir function in black shoes that were three sizes too small. Oops. I went out and bought black shoes that evening.
