mickeymThe Charmin commercials with the bears? Usually cute and kind of amusing. But the one that starts out with the Papa Bear crooning what sounds like Barry White WHILE CARESSING THE ROLL OF TOILET PAPER? That's just creepy. Yick.
Tomorrow I have the Trustee Meeting for my bankruptcy. I'm anxious, not so much about the meeting itself, but about getting there. Finding parking nearby. Not being late. I'm leaving ridiculously early -- 7a -- even though my appointment isn't until 930a. It's all the way downtown, which means the traffic will be crazy the later I wait to go. I'd rather be early and sit and read while waiting, than be late. But I'll be glad when it's over.
Matthew brought home a copy of the school newspaper today, and while reading through it he says, "hey mom, what does this spell?" and spells out 'provocative'. When I told him the word, then I had to explain to him (and Justin, natch) what it meant. I asked what it was used in. Apparently they had a school-wide poll, "do you think girls dress too provocatively" (or something to that effect). O_O
M: "That was a lot of money, over six bucks."
Me: "Six dollars? For BATTERIES? What the hell did you get?"
M: "Well, not just batteries. I got one other thing."
Me: "What other thing?"
M: "It's a personal item, mom."
Me: "What'd you get??"
M: *sheepish look* "Condoms."
Me: "...."
Me: "...."
Justin: "Dude, what kind did you get? The ribbed ones are good."
Me: "JUSTIN!"
M: "I got Trojans. The lubed kind."
Me: "....!!!"
After Justin went home I asked Matthew why he bought condoms, and he says, "better to have them in case I need them, right?" Uh. Then he says, "they have expiration dates on them, right?" I said yes, so then we had to look at the expiration date to see that they're good until like, June of 2013, and Matthew says, "good! That's when I'll graduate from high school." *headdesk*
I told him he should probably at some point practice putting them on, so he knows what he's doing MUCH LATER DOWN THE ROAD when he has to use one, and he looks at me and says, "how do I do that? Don't I need to have an erection?"
*headdesk* I said yes, that would be helpful, but that he could practice instead on a banana. And THAT was the part of the conversation he thought was weird. O_O
