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.
That is HILARIOUS!
ReplyDeleteAs my mother always said "At least she comes by it honestly!".
ReplyDeleteI have boys, so that level of hormones and girly devotion REALLY freak me out! ha!
ReplyDeleteThe poor dog is like, for the love of DOG, what's wrong?
ReplyDeleteI distinctly remember having a similar reaction to my very own Madame Alexander doll. Times have changed, no?
AWESOME!! Seriously!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the hyperventilating at the end! That is possibly one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteLOL wow! Like you said, I thought that **I** was in love with Twilight, but clearly I am no match for your daughter lol. That was adorable though. And hilarious of course.
ReplyDeleteDid you have to make her breathe into a paper bag? Good Lord, the poor kid was hyperventilating! Obviously, DAD ROCKS FOREVAH will be the slogan in your house for a very long time...
ReplyDeleteTHAT is hilarious....and adorable.I think she's going to give you a run for your money, girl...she may even already be in the lead.
ReplyDeleteI love how you're consoling her... and the dog doesn't know what to do! That's hilarious!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love how calm your husband is through all that. Awesome.
ReplyDeletePut that kid in drama class immediately!
i am not jealous, nope. however i am now following dooce's blog and plan to comment!!! take that!
ReplyDeleteok that wasn't nice and i didn't mean it.
so effing happy for you!
That is AWESOME! So have you decided yet where it gets to hang?! The dog cracked me up...he just didn't get it.
ReplyDeleteDad: "Crap how am I going to out do this?"
ReplyDeleteYoungest Daughter "Can't Breath"
Oldest Daughter "I am holding out for a Car"
Dog: "I didn't do anything..I just know I gonna get Blamed"
Sue: " Hubby, Thanks for the Blog Material...maybe you will get a little sumtin sumtin"
Stepson " Whatever!"
I gave my husband a Master's flag autographed by Tiger Woods a few years back and he had the EXACT same reaction.
ReplyDelete(I kind of wish it hadn't happened at his job, though.)
XO
A.
LOL! That is SO funny. I wonder where she gets it from?
ReplyDeleteomg this video pretty much just made MY LIFE! lol!! EIGHT YEARS OLD! I love how the poor dog reacted bahahaha!!!the hyperventilating cracked me up!! she is a mess! I love it. So flippin cute.
ReplyDeleteYour husband sure knows how to buy a present yeah? :D
Too much! You have to get her to a Jonas Brothers concert!
ReplyDeleteBy 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.
Awww, the dog was concerned. That video made my life. :D I'm hoping you plan on hanging it in her room.
ReplyDeleteThat's so funny! She kind of reminds me of Holly Hunter in Raising Arizona...."I lo-o-o-ve them so-o-o much!"
ReplyDeletethat is too funny. so I guess Daddy did really, really good! What a guy.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome. I love your older daughters commentary, she obviously came by her sense of humor honestly too, lol. That is too funny.
ReplyDeleteAND how much does your husband ROCK!!!

ReplyDeleteand I cried when the Pens won the Stanley Cup Friday night, so I am not one to talk...

ReplyDeleteSo did he win it at an auction?
ReplyDeleteSo 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!"
As my husband says in a high pitched voice, "Twilight...it brings out the little girl in us all."
ReplyDelete:)
I love the commentary and the fact that she felt it necessary to focus on the only calm one....the dog.
ReplyDeleteBoy - Dad sure was the hero though!!
That is hilarious. That is one to bring out at family gatherings when she's a teen.
ReplyDeleteoh 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.
ReplyDeletevery sweet gift by the way :)
good stuff...
ReplyDeleteSorry 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.
ReplyDeleteThat was absolutely priceless!! :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Just wait until she goes to concerts. She will totally be crashing the stage :-)
ReplyDeleteOMG she is so cute! And so obsessed!
ReplyDeleteFabulous footage...that is what happens to me when I get a dozen fresh Krispy Kremes!
ReplyDeleteAnd, having read this post AFTER your most recent, I can rest assured that you are indeed a hot blonde, and I will NOT be rooming with "CHAZ" at BlogHer! WHEW!
i was waiting for you to breakdown. lol
