Things That Make Me Go Huh?

The world can be a strange place.

The following things have made me pause and think, “Huh?!”




Kirk’s chest. Kirk is a character on one of my favorite shows Gilmore Girls and whenever he bares his chest, I think, “The eff is going on with it?”





Why Natalie feels the need to get into my chocolate. And then LEAVE said chocolate just sitting there. I didn’t waste it, don’t worry, though I still have no clue where she put that Santa Claus. I don’t think she ate it, so several months from now, I’ll probably find an old Santa behind the couch or something.





The woman with the tape on her fingers. I get that she’s teaching kids sign language, which is awesome, but she irritates the ever loving crap out of me.





Magazines that claim to have recipes for an “easy” Thanksgiving and then ramble on about herb and ricotta seasoning. I’m sorry, but no. Easy means just putting butter on the turkey, as I do, and then putting it in the oven. And then the magazine continued to suggest ways to allow your child to help out. Um, no. I want my child as far away from the kitchen as possible.





Angelina Jolie. Shiloh asked for a dead pet, so Angelina got her one.






The fact that Natalie felt the need to mess up my living room and then take a nap—on a cushion that she took from MY couch. And to think I only left her alone for 10 minutes. Imagine if I had left her alone for 20. (And yes, that is a bag of shredded lettuce. I’m just as baffled as you are..)

  2. OMG Kirk's chest!! I totally had the same reaction the first time, what is going on there??

    Love Natalie with the shredded lettuce lol. Seems like maybe she wanted to follow up the chocolate with a healthy snack :)

  3. Totally LOLing over the sign language lady. Because if it is enough to distract a DEAF person... (yes, it does... all I can think of is that she should get the Toy Story 3 bandaids next time because I sure can't read the fingerspelling as is).

  6. It takes talent, or something, to make as much as a kid can in less than 5 minutes. I don't think I could mess a room like that even if I wanted to. Which I don't. Because I'm the one who'd have to pick it up.

  7. All worthy of "things that make you go huh"status.

  8. I think there is a limit to what you should give your child. A dead pet is too much.

  9. If my child asked me for a dead pet, I would seriously start questioning my parenting skills! WTH?!

  10. Amen to buttering the turkey and throwing it in the oven!

  12. There IS no easier way to cook a turkey than to get someone else to do it for you. :o)

  13. I use sign language and that lady on the TV annoys the crap out of me too! Like too much expression or something. She makes me feel like an idiot too.

  14. getting your kid dead things is creepy, no matter how you slice the pie, and look on the happy side of things - at least she takes naps!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Ahhhhahahahah! Lettuce!! Too funny....I usually find containers of YOGURT!

    ReplyDelete
  16. But at least she took a nap! And to do that to the chocolate. NO WAY!

    Happy Turkey day!

  17. Shredded lettuce? That takes the cake.

    Sign Language lady is Rachel De Azevedo. My sister and her kids are in those videos, her bro. in law directed and produced most of them, and they were good friends of Rachel. I love signing time videos, they're fantastic. However, won't lie, Rachel DOES bug me too. She creeps my husband out. hahahaha

    However, for me, I would be FAR more annoyed by the lettuce on the floor. Just sayin. hahahaha

    And why the hell do we need to know, or care to know every single thought, move, gift, whatever that Shiloh or Suri get? OY!

  18. Hope she actually napped. And I don't know what is going on with Kirk's chest either.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Okay, the real question for me is "why did Shiloh ask for a dead pet"? I mean really? What kid does that? I see years of psycho analysis in her future.

  20. Ha! That makes me smile. The Angelina Jolie thing is kinda weird..Then again, didn't she wear a vial of blood or something equally creepy around her neck? Shouldn't be surprised by that one.

    ReplyDelete
  21. so i wasnt the only one that was puzzled by Kirk's chest?? it was disturbing to say the least. :)

    ReplyDelete
  22. Shredded lettuce? Interesting!

    I think the whole dead pet thing is very disturbing as is Kirk's chest. I LOVE Gilmore Girls!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Your daughter is very baffling.

    ReplyDelete
  24. bahahahahahahaha!!! Your family cracks me up! I love it :)))

    Looks like my son! Three year olds! ugh!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Ha....The Easy Thanksgiving dinner always makes me laugh. They are cracked!

    Natalie in the livingroom with the lettuce napping is too cute.......She's such an adorable lil bugger.

    ReplyDelete
  26. On Natalie...Maybe she's battin' down the hatches for a good storm. One that she'll need rashions for.

    A dead pet?... One has to wonder what really goes on in that house. At least she didn't get her a shrunken head or something.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Um, has Natalie been secretly following some weird diet thing? Chocolate floowed by shredded lettuce? Wonderfully bonkers!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Can you imagine if a woman bared an equally unpleasant body on TV? All hell would break loose.

    ReplyDelete
  29. A dead pet!? Disturbing to the max...I'm willing to bet that also appeared on Jeffrey Dahmer's Christmas list...

    ReplyDelete
  30. I don't remember Kirk looking that odd, but it would make sense.

    I miss Luke.

  31. What is more weird.. the kid asking for a dead pet or the mom that bought one?

    Happy Thanksgiving Amber!!!

    :)

    ReplyDelete
  32. At least Natalie is sleeping. Could be in a chocolate Santa coma, but who really cares, right?

    Happy Thanksgiving Ms. Amber and family. Hope you all get some Skype time with Tom today.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Natalie was on a strange binge -- lettuce and a nap! And who the hell buys their kid a dead pet because they asked for it? And who the hell's kid asks for a dead pet???

    ReplyDelete
  34. Lettuce?? She must be a healthy snacker lol!

    ReplyDelete
  35. The tape on her fingers drives me crazy too..

    ReplyDelete
  36. Ha. These always crack me up. I can not wait to read the
    Memoirs of this crop if celebrity children

    ReplyDelete
