I stopped to take stock of my appearance (which, let's be honest, I tend to kind of ignore between November and April).
Ridiculous age-inappropriate snow boots that match both my Superman-blue dress and my bright red coat? Obviously, check.
Gloves that look like lobster claws trimmed with Elmo? Check.
No wonder that little girl stared at me. I look, essentially, like this:
I'm like a Centaur, only more awesome because I have a sweet Color Belt and percussion skills.
It was jealousy. I mean, what little girl wouldn't want to look like a furry's reinterpretation of Rainbow Brite?
ReplyDeleteLOL I bet you rocked it!
ReplyDeleteMwahahahahahaha!
ReplyDeleteOh christ, you just made my milk go up my nose!
Great post. Made me laugh so loud that I think I scared my dog.
ReplyDeleteThat just made me spew out water at my computer screen.
ReplyDeleteSo many reasons I love reading your blog. This post highlights a few of them. You are a wonderful story teller and have a great sense of humor. I just have to tell you thank you for sharing your gifts here!
ReplyDeleteI bet that little girl thought, "Damn. I want a play date with HER."
ReplyDeleteCould you please teach me how to glam it up like that? I never did learn how to accessorize properly...

ReplyDeleteAnd that was before I read this post. Now I love them even more.
Where did you find that picture of my dad?
ReplyDeleteoh my god, I just read this and laughed so much I couldnt breathe, I work with kids and I know how super critical they can be towards adults even at such a young age, priceless!!

Awsome Blog! I loved this post! Oh and all the others too!
ReplyDeleteLiterally just made my day! =)
ReplyDeleteI was very disappointed to see that this is your only blog with 'scaring children' as a label. Put in a little more effort, will ya?
ReplyDelete(Also, 'chnongs' is my security word. I think that might be dirty asian slang, and therefore inappropriate for use as a captcha.[Wait, inappropriate? I meant awesome. Sorry.])
you are hilarious! love it.
ReplyDeleteOh. My. God. I finally finished laughing and wiped the tears out of my eyes! Love your spunk. You crack my shit up!
