The chocolate “Kinder” egg

Pooks has been obsessed with these chocolate Kinder eggs ever since she saw a commercial for them on youtube and then spotted one here in San Jose. She knew exactly what it was from the commercial and was so excited she found it in the grocery store. This happened nearly a year ago and she has been egg crazy ever since. She has gotten so many that we have started getting duplicates and may have to consider store hopping to find a new supplier. Anyway, it is a chocolate hollow egg with a toy inside. The toys are usually some little monster, or princess, and she just gets so excited. She opens them at the kitchen table, eats the chocolate first and typically offers us some, and then when she is through she opens the toy and runs around showing us all what it is. Ah, the little things. Reminds me of getting charms for my charm necklace when i was a kid.

 

Perfectly strange

These two comments happened yesterday and it got me to thinking how perfectly strange our life is.

“Remember the time I farted and gave you a hive?”. Yes while walking on the beautiful beach at sunset, Will turns to me and makes this statement which is 100% true. He ripped one in the car in Chicago that was so toxic it gave me a hive. While discussing this, Sophie is getting angry at a piece of Styrofoam she decided was a boat and it wouldn’t float to sea (b/c the tide was coming in) so she spent 15-20 min repeatedly putting it back in the wave and saying “DARN IT” every time it simply came back (all while standing at shore butt naked of course). Then she spotted tinkerbell and fireworks in the deep dark woods (aka someone’s house light).

After the beach we went to the store where i bumped into my friend Jenny who just had a baby about a month ago and after embracing she made this comment:

“I was weighing Ani at the fruit and vegetable store the other day and she was 8lbs. I turned to my husband and said can you believe she is still 2lbs smaller than Michelle’s baby was at birth!”.  Now normally the weird part of that comment would be that i had a 10lb baby pop out of me. Yes that is weird in itself. But, what i find strange is that I thought it was totally normal that she weighed her baby at our fruit and vegetable store in town on the veggie scale. It wasn’t the normal “oh she weighed 7lbs at her 1 month check up”.

We already know that Sophie is a complete weirdo and I guess what I’m saying is…Sorry Sabi, you are destined to be a little bit off and that is perfectly strange. xoxo
