Not Me Monday!




So here we are at the beginning of another week. I do hope that yours is special. So sit back and relax, because here comes your Fort Thompson Not Me's. Always guaranteed to be funny!

It was NOT me who ended up a human bubble machine tonight. Carey goes to the store, decides to get sweet on me by picking up some of my favorite snacks. She is soo sweet. She gets me some of my favorite candy (Whoppers, the pink strawberry one's!) and I couldn't be more excited about it. Turns out that on her way home she had busted a bottle of fabric softener. You know the REALLY smelly kind, the stuff I really like to smell when its in MY CLOTHES! Anyway, I digress. So it spills all over everything which includes the box my candy comes in. When she gets home and unpacks the groceries she says "ohhh, I was wondering why the car smelled sooooo clean". So she is in such a hurry, and thinks that the fabric softener got onto the candy box only, but NOT on the candy, even though it was soaking wet! And decides to put the candy in a Tupperware container to give to me. I get the candy and do think its a bit weird that they are given to me this way and not in a box, but in my excitement I dump into my mouth about as many as I can and begin to chew and swallow. It creeps up on me slowly as I think, MAN there is something seriously wrong with this candy. Then it comes to me as the taste and smell of lillie fill my sinus cavities. I run to the sink to expectorate what was left as my eyes have turned red and now drip with tears. So it is NOT me who's nose has bubbles coming out of it and who's mouth tastes like it has 10 million lillies in it. It is also NOT me who is the human bubble machine as every time I cough for 10 to 15 minutes bubbles come out. The entire family of course takes this opportunity (as I would have, I've taught them well) to laugh and poke fun of my misery. I'm so glad they got a good kick out of it.

It was also NOT me who stood in line at Home Depot to ask the guy a question when the following happened.
There is a lady who is in line behind us also waiting to ask a question and my daughter (who is so kind to strangers) strikes up a conversation with her. Well at least she was talking to the lady, but the lady was not speaking to her. I turned and noticed just as my daughter said something to make her laugh that she was in desperate need of a dental plan, (who knows she might have been on Idol in her younger years) and in that split second my so helpful daughter says " HEY I THINK SOME OF YOUR TEETH FALLED OUT!"

No that couldn't have been me?

Now get on over to MckMama's and check out the rest of the Not Me Monday's! For those of you who havent noticed, just thought I would mention, she has been leaving comments here at Fort Thompson!! So stay tuned you never know what she might do next!

OMGoodness that is hilarious. Hope your bubble making days are over now.

Pam said...

OK. This so reminds me of the part in the (modern day) Little Rascals movie where Waldo puts liquid dishwashing soap in Alfalfa's water glass at the talent show and he not only bubbles when he sings, but when he burps and when he toots!

And the missing teeth--priceless! Gotta love what YOUR kids say in public.

April said...

I'm sorry to admit, but the story of you, the candy, and the fabric softener was HILARIOUS! The way you told it...I could just see it happening in my mind! So funny! Did you ever get that lilly taste out of your mouth...what about the bubbles from your nose? Just wondering! :)

Oh, and about your daughter's comment...kids will say anything that comes to their minds! Trust me, I've learned that the hard way, time and time, again! Hey, she was just being truthful!

Enjoy your Monday!

Nicole O'Dell said...

Hey, at least you didn't grab another handful of candy..I might have tried some more just to see if it was on all of them. :)

I LIVE for your Not Me Monday posts!!! I needed a good good laugh this morning, and I certainly got one thanks to you. I just wish someone in your family would have snapped a picture of Bubble Dad so we could all see it!!
Have a great day!

Tim said...

April,

That would have probably been great to look back and laugh at, but since Im the only one that takes pictures around here, it didnt happen.

Now I have to relive the entire experience on every comment I read. Fun Fun!! At least its good that we can make fun of ourselves everynow and then right?

Kameron said...

Oh no, I eat 2 1/2 year old candy and you eat fabric softened candy. We both have seen better sugary sweets!! I bet you wanted to die when your daughter pointed out the obvious. I just can't wait for that to happen to me...

Tim said...

Nikki, I was sure that you would find a way to take advantage. I guess I had that coming.

amanda said...

I'm just kind of hoping that there might be some photographic evidence of this whopper fiasco, purely for family history documentation, not for my entertainment or anything.

Valarie Lea said...

I can't believe you didn't take pictures!!

Aren't kids the greatest :)

Randi said...

Jacquie said...

That bubble story is hilarious! I am a huge Whopper fan, but I haven't tried the strawberry king. Sounds yummy.

angie {the arthur clan} said...

Okay...the candy story was funny! But the teeth story, there just aren't any words for that one! I'm dying here...literally dying of laughter! *snort*

Misty said...

Funny stuff!!

Rachel said...

Ahh, the things our sweet (and terribly honest) children say!

Sorry about the bubbles... sounds like a Lil' Rascals episode!

Your post epitomizes everything I love about what kids have to say. They are brutually honest and always funny. Can you imagine if we lived in a world where everyone talked like this?

Lee said...

Mm... strawberry king.
Anything strawberry sounds good.

But man that was funny. I'm laughing. You can't tell because I'm tired though.
I'm like... passing out. But I'm doing my rounds of comments.

Cupcake Dessert said...
