RHONJ: Field Day Gone Sour

I can't even express the endless enjoyment that Real Housewives of New Jersey brings me. Caroline's endless wisdom and low BS tolerance! Teresa's constant idiotic comments! Kathy Wakile's baked goods and kind words! And, most of all: Melissa Gorga's rocking body!

Seriously though. I'm willing to do whatever I need to do to look like this in short shorts. (Minus, uh, working out consistently or eating right, that is.)

Basically this week Jaqueline hosts a field day at her house, which Bravo may or may not have come up with as an easy way to:
a) get the entire cast in the same place, and
b) make someone mad enough to cry

Unfortunately the person that cried was Teresa's bratty 10 year old, mostly about the fact that she'd lost the three-legged race. Womp womp womp.

The playroom of melancholy

Seriously Gia? Your parents are Teresa and Joe. Buck up, because life holds WAAAY bigger problems for you at every turn.

Teresa was upset at the ladies because "if my 10 year old is asking for her mom, why wouldn't you come outside and get me?"

Um...maybe because she's 10 and perfectly capable of getting to you on her own. I'm pretty sure they weren't holding her hostage, though she did describe being inside with the other ladies as "torture". I wonder what word she would use to describe an average car ride with Teresa and Joe?

Despite the low IQs and temper tantrums, I can't help but be a bit envious of these women whose biggest stressor is which pool party they're going to that day, while I'm on the phone begging parents to believe that their child did, in fact, get an attitude with me and will probably be suspended. 

I guess I should just be glad that I don't teach Gia.
