We went to the OC fair/swap meet awesomeness while we were visiting California this past weekend.
I had never been before and was amazed by the thousands of trinkets and gadgets and clothes and dog leashes and kitchen utensils. Avery got a gigantic ice cream cone, a lemonade with too much sugar, and some kettle corn; I got nothing; and my husband, who is not a fan of spending money on "unnecessary" things ("unnecessary" in quotations because you never know when your dog might need a khaki baseball cap), bypassed all of the nifty fishing lures and designer impostor colognes and walked out with exactly what he wanted and nothing more.
We spent a couple hours sifting through all of the "As seen on TV" type paraphernalia, made fun of weird people, then we hauled our purchases back to our car and I snapped a picture. What did my picky husband walk out with, you ask?
Picky husband picked a pair of pickled pickles.
That's right, out of the the uncountable number of possible items we could have brought home and thrown out 6 months later, we walked out with two pickles.
They were pretty good though, I have to admit, and I'm not just saying that because pregnant people are supposed to like pickles, they really were delish.
Oh, and Ave brought home a couple kernels of kettle corn. I mean, she didn't know they were stuck to her butt, but they made it to the parking lot regardless.
I love my family. They are funny even when they aren't trying to be.


Popcorn butts are pretty cute! :)
ReplyDeleteMy husband is the same way! While pursuing a brand new H&M at the mall (and a few other stores), after looking at tons of awesome and affordable clothes, what does he walk out with? A 1/4 lb. bag of assorted candy from some candy shop. And I'd laugh if it wasn't like this about 98% of the time we go out.
ReplyDeleteThat is fantastic! When Lila gets up and walks around with cheerios on her rear we call them bootios :-)
ReplyDeleteTroy makes up for all of the random hobbies he starts and all of the crazy gear he accumulates throughout the year. I'm never surprised by the new ventures he attempts.
ReplyDeleteHa! Too cute!
ReplyDeleteNow I really want some kettle corn. Please send Avery's butt over here.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to have the energy to edit that comment to make it funny and not creepy but...no dice.
First time visitor to your blog from Taming Insanity...girl you are hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI always have those weird mom moments with other moms as well...trying to set a playdate for a 2 year old is so uncomfortable!
