The show on the right side of this page, called Web Therapy, is seriously hilarious. Keep in mind, Lisa Kudrow is a bad example of what a therapist is supposed to do. Watch the episode where Courtney Cox Arquette is a psychic. SO funny.

I heard a french song while watching a Degree commercial, of all things, and I HAVE to have it. But it's a french import, and they don't sell it on iTunes or in the States anywhere. Too bad none of my french connections live in France anymore. Is anyone going to France anytime soon? The song is right here, song #4. And I may or may not have gone to the store and purchased the Degree deodorant, just because of this commercial. I may or may not be a sucker for some advertisements.

Why do I crave these cookies immediately after working out? What is wrong with me?
While making these cookies yesterday (immediately after working out) I noticed that the baking soda box says, "Change every 30 days. Use a new box each month for fresher tasting food." Does anyone actually do that?

Thanks to her and her recommendation, I had Netflix send the first season of Chuck to me. Christian and I are hooked! What a fun show. That makes the total number of shows I watch in any given season right around 53. Thank you TiVo for your recording capabilities! (But I am still ultra frustrated with you for not having program information on any of my channels yet.) (And thanks Tib for your fall lineup post.)

OMG I so know that song and thought is was great. I hadn't tried to buy it though. I hope you get it! :o)
When my brother and I were younger we always thought saying, "Want to bet?" was actually supposed to be a punch. So we'd say that while simultaneously hitting each other. My older brothers did nothing to correct our misunderstanding.
I LOVE those cookies too! and I think the baking soda thing is for the fridge? Right? I dunno....
I used to think you couldn't marry someone with blue eyes, if you had brown eyes.

I try to switch out my baking soda fairly often. I do bake a lot and use it often. So, it's kind of easy to do.
I bet you could find a torrent/torrant (I'm not exactly sure of the spelling) of the song and download it for free. What it basically is (I think) is file sharing. Kind of like limewire, but without all the nasty viruses you usually end up getting from there. My husband uses them all the time. I'll ask him if he can find one for that song.
My dad went to Germany with the air force and spoke some German. He used to say "danka shane" (I know that's spelled wrong!) all the time. He'd sing the song, too: "Danka shane, darlin' danka shane," and I just thought he had made it up. I was SHOCKED to hear someone else sing it years later!! I was like, "How do you know that song? My dad made up that song!!"
I guess that's what it means to have the faith of a child. You just don't question stuff!!
Erin, my dear, the suggestion to change the box every 30 days is for if you use it in the fridge to combat odors. If you keep it in the cupboard you're good for about six months. :)
My weird misunderstanding was really unfortunate...my mom never told me where babies come from, only that they came from a "special closeness." Gag, right? Anyway, I spent my entire youth scared to death I would get pregnant from a hug or brushing up against someone the wrong way. I didn't find out how babies were really made until I was 17 in my AP Biology class. Sad.
My friend had a funny one. He thought that the car steering wheel was just something to hold on to, and that the car automatically steered itself away from other cars and whatnot. His first driving lesson he smashed into a parked car because he was waiting for the car to steer itself away!!
Yeah I have no idea how long I have had my baking soda... hmm I probably need to go throw it out.
Great post!
My mom only had sisters, and my dad only had brothers. I was pretty old before I figured out that other people's parents didn't come from 1 gender families.
Here's my misunderstanding. I totally thought that Wesley from The Princess Bride was Mormon, and we were going to get sealed in the temple someday.
I actually thought it was a Mormon movie, because when I was growing up in Southern California, the only kids who had even heard of it were my Mormon friends.
That dream was shattered. :(
We LOVE Chuck! So funny.
How's this for a twisted misunderstanding: I thought, I heard a lady got fired from her job, that she got set on fire. Yeah, my childhood wasn't that bad (good, even), but doesn't it sound like I should've been in therapy?
I checked out the cookie receipe and now I want those cookies:)
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Chuck! There were rumors that they canceled it. Do you know to scoop on that?
Enjoy your cookies!
My big misunderstanding....when I was a little kid there were a ton of "Don't drink and drive" commericals on tv. One day my uncle took me to some fast food joint and we both got shakes. He started to drink his as he was driving us back home. I was quick to remind him that he shouldn't drink and drive. He thought it was hilarious and I had no idea why...until my mom explained it to me later.
I have another friend who is really into Chuck. I will have to check it out sometime.
Dang. Now I want cookies for lunch. Curse you!
I found the song for you. :)
I'll email it to you if I can.
It's the full song.
i lived just outside of DC when i was young and i always thought abe lincoln was a giant. you see, there is a HUGE statue of him outside the lincoln memorial and my mom was telling me that he was a really tall man, and i just assumed she meant that statue was true to scale.
For years I thought the word habit like "you have a bad habit", was Havit....because you have it. It was not until college that this was straightened out. I still think havit is a better word for it. Makes more sense to me. :)
I love your random posts. I too crave cookies right after working out. Silly me and you. Have a great weekend.
I think Chuck may just be my favorite show.
And I'm wishing for Tivo right about now. We finally got rid of cable, but as I see commercials for the new fall lineups I don't know what I'm going to do. All of my favorite shows are on at the same time!
It's funny you mentioned baking soda. I hardly ever bake cookies (cause I end up eating 90% of them ) and I just made some a few days ago. I think I change the baking soda in my fridge (the one to just keep my food fresh) WAY more often then I do in my cupboard (the one I actually put IN my food). Weird.
I love little kid confusions. As my kids are growing up they ask me the most interesting things and you start to understand where there mind is connecting these things. I can't think of anything specific though now, but it's one of those things when I'll be almost asleep and go "oh yeah that one time". :)
You crack me up! I can't think of any childhood misunderstandings..I'm sure they existed though!
Isn't netflix awesome! We did the blockbuster thing for a while..before our lives got so crazy with soccer and football and..and..and...you get the point!
I hope you are having a GREAT weekend. Sorry I'm a day late on this one!
Great ipod list!
I had an odd assumption as a child regarding grandparents, too. I thought that they more they liked you the closer they lived. This explained why mine lived in another state. Sad, I know.
And I love you ipod songs! I have most of those, too. (And thanks for reminding me about that George Michael song...I still have that cassette.)
Daughters: check
Sleep to dream: check
Roxanne: check
Suddenly I see: check
Everyday: check
Another great song list from you!
There's a whole episode of This American Life about childhood misunderstandings that persist into adulthood, and it's hilarious. This one poor woman thought that "X-ing" on a crossing sign was a word, pronounced "zing." And, like Susan above with "havit," she thought "xing" was a pretty good word.
I love all the ones your commenters shared. Rychelle's might be my favorite, but they're all very funny. Julie P's one about being fired reminded me that when my Mom was going to a bridal shower or baby shower, I pictured that all the women would sit on the lawn and they would turn the sprinklers on. (I think I did figure out this wasn't the case since my mom didn't come home wet, but I was baffled as to why they called it that.)
I seriously want to know if anyone really changes their baking soda every 30 days. Seriously. Really?
You know that primary song, Love one another? For the longest time I thought the lyrics were: "By this shamendo..."
When I was a kid my siblings used to tease me that I "had a bladder the size of a pea"...but I never understood what was so small about the LETTER 'P'. I still laugh about it :o)
