WE ARE THE DYNAMIC DUO

I sometimes wonder if things that happen in our household happen in other ones.  Seriously, we can be such losers sometimes.  It kind of floors me…in a bad way.

For example:  the other day one of the kids picked up Spod's telephone.  His is a fairly expensive, yet simple flip phone.  Upon inspection it was discovered that he had about 357 pictures on it.  Whaaaaaaat?  How could that be..he can't figure out how to push a chair into the table let alone take an actual picture with a  phone.  If it involves more than a one button push he's lost.  So we took a look to see what the heck he was taking pictures of and….you guessed it…357 pictures of the inside of his pocket.  All 357 of them.  Every one…black.  And he hardly ever takes his phone with him anywhere.

Another example:  today we went to Walmart to get 2 inch, colour on white background pics for our China visa.  Much later I was sitting in the car at home depot waiting for Spod.  To pass time I grabbed the little envelope to take another look at the pictures.  When I looked at mine I noticed a brown, quite large, spot on my chin.  It looks just like those dreaded sunspots one gets.  I have one already on my nose.  OH NO!!  So I whipped down the car mirror to take a closer look and…you guessed it…it was dirt.  Sticky (from the Nyquil bottle the night before) dirt.  I could not believe my eyes.  Who the hell does that? 

 I almost never look at my face in the mirror (shovel list) because  when I do I see badly behaved eyebrows, sprouting chin hairs, black heads, new wrinkles…I mean I prefer that image I have of my lovely self in my head.  It never occurred to me my face was dirty.  Sigh.

And another one:  I had pvr'ed a cooking show.  So tonight I grabbed the remote, pushed pvr and it wasn't there!  I don't know why it didn't tape but I started to really look at what was pvr'ed.  And it was full of the most stupid stuff like the news, religious shows, cartoons, some movies, Teletubbies, Duck Dynasty, etc…It took me a while but I finally realized that it was Spod.  Not the peeps downstairs but Spod.  When he decides to watch tv he just starts pushing buttons.  Eventually he finds a show, sits in his chair and goes to sleep.  In the meantime he has pushed record forty times.  It took me forever to delete them all.  Silly man.

And there are many more but thats enough shame for one night.  TTYL
