fotos and friends

sifting through bianca's flickr makes me miss her. a lot. i also left an assload of comments because the things she encounters in korea are so different from here.

(lazer shows & fog machines at weddings; grandmas who never age, etc.)

the reminders are constant too. i was watching some health program on tv the other day about the significance of cartoon characters in influencing what kids choose to eat. In a test, several five year olds had to choose what they would prefer to eat for breakfast: a banana, or a rock covered in scooby doo stickers.

"i want the rock."
"are you sure-- for breakfast?"

(kid reaches over for rock and happily jumps in her seat)

"rock! rock for breakfast!"

...

for some reason, while uncontrollably laughing at how F.A.S.'d these children were, I couldn't help but think of B-- and how we'd be quoting the show for weeks on end.

"i want rock! ROCKS FOR BREAKFAST!"






addendum: the kids were also presented a choice between a cupcake of the american flag, or a cupcake of elmo. of course, i immediately gravitated towards the elmo cupcake-- because c'mon it's ELMO! so, to be fair, i can kinda see where these kids are coming from.
