Gimme Some Bling!

I’ve decided that my 7-year old son thinks too much.  The other day he came to me and asked, “Mom, how do I get a gold tooth?”

“Those are called ‘grills,” I said.

“Okay…” he responded.  “But how do I get them?”

I thought about this for a second and said, “I guess I don’t know.  I suppose you pay the dentist money to have them put on your teeth.”

“Can we do that?”

Seriously?  “Why would you want to do that?” I asked.

“Well, cuz gold teeth ought to be worth more than regular teeth so, when they fall out, the Tooth Fairy is sure to bring me a lot more money than I’d get for my regular teeth.”

Oh boy…

OCD Much?

Not so much a quip or quote, but an interesting image.  My 16 year old daughter is going through a phase where things have to be neat and tidy.  The other day I asked her if she’d throw some tater tots in the oven to have with dinner.  Imagine my surprise when I opened the oven to see this!

Dude!  If Vampires are real, I get dibs on Eric Northman!

This next image is one that I just couldn’t resist capturing on my iPhone.  I was at the local Barnes and Noble store when I came across this display for Teen Non-Fiction books.  All I can think to myself is “Wow!  Vampires are REAL?!  If they’re real, can I have dibs on that tall, blond, Viking Vampire Eric Northman from HBO’s True Blood??
