The other day Bridget was “helping” me clean our computer room when she found a package of manila envelopes. Apparently she decided it would be a good idea to take the envelopes out of their plastic bag. I guess the packaging had a greater purpose to serve.

The next thing I knew I heard, “Look Mom, a hat!”

I turned around to see this:

I quickly grabbed my camera and to snap a picture. I only got one before she started doing this:

Good heavens!! Honestly… As you might imagine, we had a nice conversation about what we do and don’t do with plastic bags, and why its not a good idea to wear them over your face. The offending bag also got torn apart and thrown away. And despite the fact that she seemed to agree that bags don’t belong on her head, I somehow doubt that this is the last time we’ll be having such a conversation.

Speaking of plastic bags. . .
This is what happens when Dave puts a plastic bag over his head:

I guess a graphic similar to this was found on some bags where he works. The graphic was so funny that one of his co-workers decided to pull out a little PhotoShop wizardry and change the graphic to Dave’s likeness. Don’t choke.

When will they grow out of this sort of strange behavior? Will they ever? Sometimes I wonder. I mean, I witnessed some grown adults sucking helium the other day – didn’t we all learn in Jr. High school that THAT wasn’t a good idea?? Alas! Alack!
