Magical Bunnies

I just absolutely LOVE overhearing people say things that make NO sense of any kind, all the while knowing that those people are 100% confident in what they said, and believe there is true meaning behind it.

Recently, after seeing a girl get her photo taken down near the beach, I overheard her say, “I hate it when, like, the camera gets behind your head and it looks like bunny ears.”

???

Can anybody, in a right state of mind, tell me what that could possibly mean..?

First of all, when you are having your photo taken, the camera is generally in front of your head. It’s just common knowledge, if you want your face in the picture, that is.

Secondly, what do bunny ears have to do with anything? Cameras don’t look like furry woodland creatures. Nor do they resemble antennae that you might use to catch your favorite nightly sitcoms. (I guess that would “technically” be “rabbit ears”; but bunny, rabbit, same thing.)

I just can’t figure it out. I have taken thousands of pictures, and never have bunny ears magically appeared behind someone’s head because of something my camera conjured up while I wasn’t paying attention. Maybe my camera just isn’t sneaky enough. Or maybe I just don’t take pictures of people that crazy.

People have “bunny ears” if someone puts their fingers behind their head in a picture. Bunnies have bunny ears. TVs have rabbit ears. But cameras don’t get behind your head and create giant fuzzy ears of wonder.

I do like bunnies, though. Although, they don’t just appear, either.

What’s that? That’s not good at all.

It has come to my attention that I have not posted anything lately, because, quite frankly, I cannot come up with anything to say. So this is my attempt at throwing some thoughts into the air.

Here’s something. The conversation I just had with my husband:

Me- “Why are you eating that right now? Are you hungry?”
Mike- “I wanted to eat some because it sounded tasty.”
Me- “What in your right mind would make you think that cottage cheese sounds good right now??”
Mike- “It just sounded good.”
Me- “Why would you like cottage cheese?”
Mike- “There was a six-year span that I didn’t even eat it… It tastes great now!”
Me- “Well you should have just stayed there..”

And then he put the cottage cheese away while continuing to sing Journey songs at an annoyingly loud level. He was singing to the dog, mind you. And changing the words so that they related to the dog. Until I said to stop. And that’s about as far as that went. For the time being, anyway.

This is basically a day-to-day occurrence, only with varying foods. One day it’s sauerkraut, the next it’s artichoke hearts, or garlic (yes, straight garlic from a jar), or crazy tuna creations that look sadder than cat food. I’m not even sure the cat would eat that tuna. That’s how gross it looks.

I don’t have much else to say right now. My husband eats some weird, nasty food. And there’s not a whole lot I can do about it, except plug my nose and make something else for me to eat.

Oh, and he has a weird obsession with potato pancakes. Just saying.
