Weekly rundown

My 11 year old has been craving Sardines. I asked if he had ever had them and he said no but he wanted to try them. I bought a can and he gulped em all down within minutes. It was like watching fear factor when he dangled those slimy things over his mouth and devoured them. The stink in the kitchen was awful. I'm not sure I'm buying them again.
Next he wanted anchovies, So I bought him a personal pizza topped with the nasty things. He ended up not being able to eat it because the salt made his tongue numb. Go figure...
There's a local Italian place I go to that serves everyone at the table a salad no matter what. It's their policy that they HAVE TO put a salad in front of everyone who is eating, even very small children.
My youngest only eats cucumbers, the middle eats black olives and the oldest only eats dark green leaves. So I end up eating four huge plates of salad. I'm not complaining because it's actually pretty damn good.
I spent most of today taking all the DVDs we own, pulling out the disks and putting them in flip books. I realized the other day that I couldn't get to most of the movies in my collection because they were stacked 4 deep on every available shelf. I ended up throwing away three 55 gallon trash bags full of empty cases. I just don't have room for any more superfluous shit.
My youngest daughter is taking caps of toothpaste, lotion, etc and sticking them to the bathroom wall. Then she goes and lies about it. I can't for the life of me figure out where she comes up with this shit but it's starting to piss me off. I have hidden about every tube cap in the house and have several products drying out and evaporating as we speak.

I guess it was a fairly normal week.

Sardines and anchovies...YUCK! Gotta give him credit for wanting to try them, I guess!
Back when I used to deliver pizzas, I hated anchovies. One anchovy pizza would make my car stink for hours afterward.
Make sure you have a can of air freshener around when that 11 year old decides to go # 2 - or better yet make him do it away from home... Sardines and anchovy pizza. YIKES!
I love them both.
Kids... They do the strangest things.
You have your hands full! Sounds like typical kids to me. Funny stuff.
You've been royally tagged by the Queen of Memes.
Long live the dungeon.
No Autographs, Please
I love sardines! Don't tell anyone.
I cracked up at the thought of your youngest sticking toothpaste caps to the bathroom wall. Kids do the strangest things sometimes!
my dad got me three silver briefcase looking things. And you can fit 4 movies on one side of each page, so 8 movies a page. One holds 180 movies. I have one full, and another one half way full. One I had our music in, but I bought a bigger black fold up case for that, gotta transfer them, then I just have the silver cases for the dvd's.
I only have one tiny cupboard for the old video's I have, but all the other two big shelves with the dvd's and no more room for them are empty and gone. whooohoooo
I want to find the Sumbitch that dumped 3 trash bags full of empty CD cases that smelled like a College GYN clinic in SC.

Sardines ... for me, that's "Lifeboat-Eat This or Else You Die" food.
Sounds like a typical day at the ranch lol
Maybe I should send ya lad a jar of cockles to try :) Im serious...

Ha...Your daughter is a hoot. Cheers Hammer!!
Hubby wanted assorted little sandwich spread items for new years like cream cheese, ham, etc. I got sardines in mustard too thinking they somehow fit in. Wrong.
So I guess I'll find that can in the back of the pantry 5 years from now. Unless you want it?? LOL
I like that your kid wanted to try sardines and anchovies. It's great when they want to try different foods. My parents weren't so encouraging, I remember the hassle when I wanted to try a pomegranate after reading a book that mentioned it.
I give your daughter points for creativity-never heard of sticking caps on the wall before!
Maybe next he'll try smoked oysters? YUMMMMM!
I'm thinking your daughter has an artistic flair - maybe a scultor?
Please do read my latest post.
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA!
caps on the walls?
get a hot glue gun and have her turn it into an "art" project - tell her it needs to be thoughtful and look like something though - perhaps that will stop her and if not, you may get her a sheet of plywood and let her go at it! there are three artists in my home and i know what they're capable of.
my dad told me that babies throw their food onto the floor, not to be mean or hateful - but to see what pattern it makes when it lands. go figure. artists in the making perhaps?
we'll never really know what goes through the mind of a child unless we were allowed to be one...
as for the sardines - BLECHHHHHHH!
I remember when my brother was young, he went the same route with the sardines. Then when he went shopping with my mother, he came home with a lamb tongue in a jar. He sat on the couch watching TV with it hanging out. Looked like he was sticking his tongue out, then he bit it off. Would have made an awesome utube video!
I just finished doing the same thing with all my driver CDs for all my hardware I have laying around! I got a little organized drawer for Christmas and finally decided to load it up. Must be the moon phase or something driving us to organize discs!
That is so hysterical! I love this story...
I love your normal!
Cheers
lol don't ya wish you could get into the minds of kids sometimes?? LOL
Caps on the wall. Reminds me of one of my little man's favorite books, Wacky Wednesday...I think it starts with a shoe on the wall. Anyway, good luck with that and your house NOT smelling like sardines. :)
I eat entire cans of anchovies all by myself. And sardines.
Dude, you've been making me laugh too much the last few days.
Gosh, I just laughed for a good minute or so, that's great!
All I can do is shake my head and giggle...dammit I love kids!
I loved sardines as a kid. Especially the mustard sauce ones. Ate them on saltines, usually with soup.
Haven't had any for years, no telling how many, and not sure if I'd still have a taste for them.
but, I agree with others here; not many kids want to try new things. Not many adults either for that matter.
Caps on the wall. Don't have any idea about that one unless as Nanc said, it's art.
Or maybe she's comparing the ability of different substances to act as adhesives. Maybe not an artist, but a chemist. ;)
For the past 4 years, we've been using flip books for CD's and DVD's. I used to hate them, but now I like it. Before we moved I also created a database for our media, using MS Access. Have to update for the last 2 years of stuff. Now that we have a DVR - I've really stopped buying any DVD's, just recording "my" shows to watch later.
The toothpaste cap thing - funny. But, only because I can relate. When I was a child I liked to say I was "going to the bathroom" and then sample my mom's lotions, putting each kind in a tissue and squishing it around. Gross actually but I had this compulsion to do it.
First, gag a maggot dude. Nasty. Secondy, I've been wanting to do that with my DVDs for a while, but have not found the right cases yet. Where'd you get yours? Did you save the pictures from the case or ditch them?
I can't eat sardines because you're eating everything from the lips to the tail.
I LOVE anchovies, because it's just the meat.
When I make pizza, I always put anchovies on mine, and the rest of the family won't touch that one for love nor money.
I love the toothpast escapade. There's no figuring out why kids do what they do.
