I Guess It's Hereditary

I thought I was obsessed with Twilight.

I thought I had a pretty bad crush going on Robert Pattinson.

I underestimated the devotional love of the 8 year old.

MY 8 year old.

This video is from last night, when my husband brought home a framed Twilight poster, autographed by all the cast.

  3. The poor dog is like, for the love of DOG, what's wrong?

    I distinctly remember having a similar reaction to my very own Madame Alexander doll. Times have changed, no?

  13. I gave my husband a Master's flag autographed by Tiger Woods a few years back and he had the EXACT same reaction.

    (I kind of wish it hadn't happened at his job, though.)

    By the way, I am going to see the New Kids on the Block in a week, and I may or may not cry like that.

  23. So did he win it at an auction?

    So I bet he's thinking all the way home, "Man, I can't believe I just spent $250 on a stupid poster autographed by some boy that my wife keeps cardboard cut-outs of. I bet if I wore one of those cutouts of his face around the house, I could probably get lucky... I can't believe I spent $250 on a stupid poster. Should I cut the eyes out of the mask so I can see what I'm doing, or would that ruin it? Damn, $250 would've bought several rounds of golf!"

    Then he brings the the poster home, everyone goes crazy, and he's thinking "Autographed poster of Rob somebody-what's-his-name... $250, Family's reaction and bonus thank-you sex.... priceless!"

  24. As my husband says in a high pitched voice, "Twilight...it brings out the little girl in us all."

  25. I love the commentary and the fact that she felt it necessary to focus on the only calm one....the dog.

    Boy - Dad sure was the hero though!!

  26. That is hilarious. That is one to bring out at family gatherings when she's a teen.

  27. oh the poor thing!!! i feel for her, i reacted this way when my mom and dad got me new kids on the block tickets a million years ago. i was 10 and hyperventilating.

    very sweet gift by the way :)

  28. Sorry but that is hilarious! My 9 year old wants to read the series but I am not comfortable with the sexual scences in Eclipse and Breaking Dawn.
