Today my daughter and I were at a Borders Books.
We passed by a True Blood display, and she was immediately enamored with the Fangtasia keychain.
I’ll admit, it was pretty neat. She did manage to resist buying it, but as her eyes wandered over the rest of the merchandise, she spied a picture of Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgard) and immediately scrunched her face up.
Her: Ew, dad, why do people like him?
Me: (Actually surprised) Are you serious? You don’t like Eric? Even I like Eric – he’s a good lookin’ man. And I’m a dude!
Her: What?
Me: Yeah, if it came down to it, I’d totally make out with Eric over Bill.
(Her repulsion is building, her face is totally scrunched up now and she’s audibly “Ewwww”ing)
Me: Oh totally, I’m a totally hetero dude, and I’d totally make out with him.
(She turns away from me and fakes like she’s gagging)
Me: Yeah, he’d totally be putting his hands on my sideburns……
(Apparently this was just TMI)
Her: (With hands over her ears) LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA! I CANNOT HEAR YOU!!
After she recovered, she immediately logged onto Facebook to post a poll – Eric vs Bill. She was also going to include that I “scarred her for life”, but decided against it. I already left my answer on her poll.
I’ve been cleaning for most of the day now. While the rest of the house is still being cleaned, I’m pretty happy with how the bathroom turned out:
Not much else to report. Need to keep cleaning.
