If you are looking at this first thing in the morning, I apologize for inflicting brutality upon your eyeballs. If you are looking at this at any time of the day, I apologize for inflicting brutality upon your eyeballs. Eyeballs, I am sorry.
It seemed so easy. Just plop a couple scoops of ice cream on a cupcake thingy, add some eyes, a beak and little ducky feet. How hard can it be?
Apparently a little harder than we thought.
We kept trying until we had an army of mutant-melty-aliens-with-beaks.
They haunt us in our sleep.
I hope they don't haunt you, too...

ReplyDeleteFunny girl!! Now excuse me while I go rinse my eyes out.....
ReplyDeleteAnd I have some trivia for you! I was at my mom's house last weekend watching "Doctor Who," which, for that episode, was set in Sherwood Forest. The wicked Sheriff was talking with Clara, and you won't believe what I heard come out of his mouth. That's right....."gallimaufry!" And used in the right context, too. The only time I have ever been in contact with that word, apart from your blog!
Snicker...See what happens when someone like me tries to homeschool?
ReplyDeleteMelanie, that's so awesome that someone out there knows the word "gallimaufry"! I don't feel so alone anymore. (Of course, he was British. They still use cool words. Is it weird that my favorite movies end up being British period dramas, and my favorite books are classic British literature? Sometimes I wonder about myself. But I promise, when you cut me, I bleed red, white and blue.)
No, I know what you mean completely. I love to hear a Brit say, "That's rubbish." Love it!
ReplyDeleteThe other day, the computer chip in my credit card shut down a computer system at a store (I know. It takes talent to be me.) I was teasing the employees that were frantically trying to fix things. I said something about my credit card company trying to be "innovative" by putting the silly chip in there in the first place. Funny comment and all, except that I accidentally didn't say "innovative" like the good little American I am. No. It came out with the British pronunciation. I was mortified. I listen to too much BBC... I'm off to go listen to someone from Kentucky now...
