Here are a few shots from the trip that were a bit odd:
 |
| A new form of reading material while using the potty? This was on the inside of the stall door in a restroom I used at the zoo. That's just taking education a bit too far for me. I was tempted to see if all the stalls had the same signs, or if every one was different, but I really try to limit how much I touch when I'm in a public restroom. |
 |
Near our car, when we were leaving the parking lot at the amusement park. Does anyone have a clue what that could be? Looked like a fake cow udder covering the side mirror. If your mirror is broken, wouldn't a normal plastic bag suffice?

| What's so strange about this stuffed animal, you ask? Well, it's the prize Middle Child won at the Guess Your Age booth at the amusement park. The employee guessed that she was 14. She is 22. My son, who is 19, thought this was hilarious. She also was asked if she wanted a kid's menu while we were on the trip. Everyone tries to tell her she will be very happy with her appearance when she turns about 40. She doesn't seem to buy that. |
Okay the mirror cover is really creeping me out! Really though, what exactly is that?!?! And why is it on that mirror?!
ReplyDeleteI know!!! I have no clue what it could be! And why is there a 3 on it??
DeleteWell, I did know about burning cow-pies for fuel. . .
ReplyDeleteI used to be the 'other kid' from yer Middle Child. They'd guess I was 22 when I was 14 (the wonders of an early growth spurt and a legit 'stache and set of sideburns. . .)
Yeah, the fuel thing isn't exactly new info, but maybe the signs were designed for children?
DeleteThere is a guy at our church who plays drums and I kept talking about how good looking he was (thinking he was about 25) to my friend's daughters who are around that age. We later found out (from his mom) that he is 16. Oops!
I find that mirror cover "udderly" amusing!
ReplyDeleteCow humor. Hope you have no beef with that.
Ok, Mark, I was really hoping my male readers would know what that thing is! Thanks! Lol
DeleteDeflated truck balls? :)
ReplyDeleteBahahaha......now that is a good guess!
DeleteDon't even get me started about public bathrooms! I'd have been curious about the signs though, too.
ReplyDeleteNo clue on the second photo.
People used to think I looked young for my age, pfft... I got caught up real quick.
I think people get confused on my age due to my actions......immature ones......haha
DeleteOkay, that blue thing in the second photo is defined as mirror cover?!? I've never heard of such a thing. Why would anyone want to cover their side view mirrors? I mean for what reason? I don't know, to me it looks like a deflated balloon that somehow landed on the mirror - HA!
ReplyDelete"A new form of reading material while using the potty? "
HILARIOUS! Yup, and I bet that sign in the bathroom was designed for children.
And please tell middle child BRAVA for stumping them at the Guess Your Age booth! Cute little stuffed animal, btw!

I love it that you enjoy my humor, Ron. We would be so obnoxious if we worked together! LOL!
DeleteI'm guessing that the side mirror was broken and that was the cover? I really don't know. Maybe I should have nosed around and pulled it off to see!
reading material in a public bathroom? i think not. i love that your daughter looks younger than she is, though she may not. people think i'm younger than i am and i'm always like what the heck is wrong with you peeps. i don't look older than that. i guess it's a compliment.
ReplyDeleteShe doesn't like it. Part of her problem is she is only about 5'2 and the rest of us are taller than average, which makes her look like the little kid of the family.
Deletewe used that for starting bonfire on the farm, eh? good stuff.
ReplyDeleteeducation is always a good thing. You missed an opportunity by not exploring the loo.
I'v gone both ways on the age thing. If I shave clean I lose about 15 years. With the goatee I gain about 10. Queenie loves the goatee
When I saw the wedding pictures, I did think you looked 10 years younger than your actual age.
DeleteEven with the goatee? Wow.... had forgotten that
DeleteThey have advertisements a lot on the public restroom doors here; like anyone would remember any business while they are taking care of business? No clue on the car, some experiment that went wrong? Too cute with your daughter, except if she wants to actually look her age; cute little puppy though!
ReplyDeletebetty
I don't think I've ever seen an ad on a restroom stall. I think that would stress me out, for some reason!
Deleteholy cow. i hope the age guesser isn't hoping to make a living. he'd do better with a roll of the dice!
ReplyDeleteMy husband was with her and thought it was weird that you don't have to give any proof or write your age down ahead of time. They just take your word for it!
DeleteWhoa!!! 14 and 22? That's a BIG difference. I love the prize she won, though!
ReplyDeleteShe is always happy to collect another stuffed animal.
Deletewhen I was 27 I had my age guessed at 14.
ReplyDelete(it was an IQ test)
What???
DeleteLol. Thanks for the great laughs.
ReplyDeleteI'm here to please!
DeleteMy guess was it was one of those ball thingies with hand;es, so I goggled it - I'm pretty sure that's what it is, but deflated:

I had the same issue when I was a kid/early 20's - looked absurdly younger than my age. I hated it.
I'm still bewildered by its use though!
DeleteShe does get mad.
Hahaha!!! They are all hilarious but that last one really takes the cake. I used to have the same issue. All of my girlfriends had boyfriends in high school and everyone just thought I was the little sister. It was very annoying and I feel for your daughter. But she will appreciate it someday. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe little sister of your friends? That would be super annoying!
DeleteOh yes! I would tell your daughter as well to hold on to that asset and treasure it. When I was 21, I was hired into the police academy and had to shave my head. It never grew back and I have been consistently accused of being much older than my current age. Yuck.
ReplyDeleteYour hair didn't grow back??? That is terrible! Was your mom really mad??? I would be!
DeleteThat mirror thing is weird. And I can bring my own reading material into the bathroom! People tell me I look younger than my years, but when you shave your head the gray hairs magically disappear!
ReplyDeleteYes, I think the lack of gray hair can have that bonus
