Herbies - The Love Bug

My nine year old, Alvin, is sitting on our bed watching some program on Discovery or some other normal cable station. I’m in the bathroom getting ready for bed.

Alvin: Mom, what’s herbies?

Mom: Huh?

Alvin: There’s a doctor on TV talking about herbies.

Mom: It’s a virus. There are all sorts of drugs advertised on TV.

Up next, erectile dysfunction. (pun intended)

Oooh I can’t wait to see what sort of search hits I’ll get now.

Happy Second Blogiversary To Me!

Two years of sporadic posting about dumb stuff. Who knew I could keep it up this long?! And I’ve had almost 34,000 hits. Amazing.

A few weeks ago, some blogs I read were posting funny searches that lead people to their blog. I decided in honor of my blogiversary I would do the same.

  • What was june cleavers husbands name

Ward

  • Wepinds.com

I’m assuming this is an 7 year old kid trying to find weapons. At least, that’s how my 7 year old spells it.

  • Odds of pregnancy while nursing and on pill

100% and his name is Theodore

  • June cleaver (dirty pics)

Ewwwwww!

  • How do i stop my internal clocks

You can’t. Stop searching.

  • Homeschooling boys who can’t sit still in a regular classroom

They can’t sit still at home either.

  • Are homeschoolers weird

Depends on how weird their parents are. Are you weird? Were you homeschooled? Did you know any weird kids in school?

  • Where can i get permanent cement for teeth

At the dentist. Don’t even attempt that at home.

  • How should i punish my homeschooler

What did he do?

  • How to prepare a child for preschools interviews

LOL!! Don’t get me started. If you read my blog, you know what I think of this sort of thing.

  • How will a girl of eleven go out with me

If you are eleven too, wait until you are older. If you are older, get out of my blog

  • Show kids pictures getting dressed

I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that you are a preschool teacher who wants to post helpful pictures on the wall in your classroom.

  • Why not just make ten louder?

These go to eleven.

Thanks everyone for visiting and commenting (and those of you who visit every day and don’t comment really should comment).

30 Second Elevator Pitch for My Presidential Candidate of Choice

I wrote this yesterday and forgot to click “publish.”  Oops.

The latest Thinking Homeschoolers wiki entry challenges us to share a 30 second elevator pitch for our presidential candidate of choice (this won’t take 30 seconds!):

In the 7 presidential elections in which I have voted (or will soon vote) I have never actually been FOR a candidate. For me it was more about who I didn’t want to win. The reason I am voting FOR Barack Obama is simple. I may be naive, but I think he is honest. I also think he is incredibly smart.

Hybrid Hype

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Imagine buying a hybrid Lexus for a base price of $104,900 without options.

Lexus

Then imagine writing a review that says:

“The car performs beautifully, very quiet and compares to other luxury cars this saves me a lot money on gas.” [emphasis added]

Oh the irony.
