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..)

Oh no, Natalie, shredded lettuce on the rug is not good ;)

Rachel said...

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 :)

Rachel said...

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).

Phoenix Peacock said...

that child needs to learn to respect the chocolate...

Katie said...

oh thank you for the laugh this morning! I needed the release before turkey day prep :)

C (Kid Things) said...

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.

Dawn said...

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

Losing Brownies said...

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

Bird Shit and Baby Caca said...

LOL Kirk's chest is so odd!

Diane said...

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

Whitney said...

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

Trish said...

shredded lettuce all over the floor???? I don't even wanna know!
You always crack me up girl...have a great Thanksgiving!!!!

TheUnSoccerMom said...

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

Aunt of 14 said...

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.

huginnmuninnandme.com said...

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!

Terry said...

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

JoeinVegas said...

You've got the coolest kids

AmyLK said...

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

Happy Turkey day!

Allyson & Jere said...

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!

Secret Mom Thoughts said...

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

Spot said...

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.

Lisha @ DeLovely Life said...

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.

Heather B said...

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

Lind Family said...

Shredded lettuce? Interesting!

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

Jen said...

Your daughter is very baffling.

Brittany said...

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

Looks like my son! Three year olds! ugh!

AMY said...

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.

Julianna said...

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.

Sarahf said...

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

Lady Mama said...

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

SLM said...

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

Sara said...

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

I miss Luke.

Intense Guy said...

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

Happy Thanksgiving Amber!!!

:)

Cheryl said...

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.

jayayceeblog said...

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???

Jessica said...

Lettuce?? She must be a healthy snacker lol!

amie said...

The tape on her fingers drives me crazy too..

Brandy@YDK said...

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

The Queen said...

Kirk's chest always freaks me out...it's gross looking. Especiall his weird stomach.
