Proof Once Again That The Disney Channel Has Brainwashed My Children

September 9, 2010 By Blonde Mom 9 Comments

Driving home the other night from dinner Miss C chimed in matter of factly from the back seat: “Mommy, you know Joe is getting married.”

“Joe who?” I asked. I had no idea who she was talking about.

Joe, Joe, Joe? I mulled it over for a few seconds. The only Joe who came to mind was her classmate Joe we’d just seen at dinner and unless arranged marriages for 3rd grade boys are now the norm in the South, I doubted she was talking about that Joe.

“You know…JOE,” she said, incredulously.

“You mean Mr. Joe at the pizza place?” We are good friends with the manager of a neighborhood pizza joint named Joe.

“NO mommy…Joe JONAS.”

At least she’s not on a first name basis with Justin Bieber. That I could NOT HANDLE.

Sis Boom Buckethead

This is pretty much how our Sunday evenings go.

So much for “wearing them out” and letting them “get their ya yas out” at the park. This was all canceled out by letting the girls watch Camp Rock tonight on the Disney Channel.

As you can see, Miss A was exhausted at 9 o’clock and ready to curl up and go to sleep. I just wish I’d had a video camera out for the headbanging that ensued during the closing scene of the movie. Now that was classic.

So remember…Camp Rock at bedtime is the equivalent of mental speed for a 3 and 6-year-old girl.

I Love My Men Shirtless And Playing The Bongos

July 3, 2008 By Blonde Mom 13 Comments

Does anyone else cringe a bit when they see the Jonas Brothers Monsters of Teen Rock Coiffed Hair in Disney’s Camp Rock promos?

Their stylists obviously are obviously getting a lot of hair action. His eyebrows could be insured by Loyds of London. And I am obviously a 38-year-old woman, and not a 6-year-old girl.

When you’re 6 you want boys to have pretty hair, when you’re 38 you want men to have hair.

Miss C, I hope, is several years from buying her first Teen Beat, but when she saw a TV commercial for Camp Rock she quipped, “He looks like a nice boy!”

Nice boy it is, although her mama does love some bongo playin’, surfin’, shirtless Matthew McConaughey. But then I wouldn’t approve if Miss C wanted to plaster this on her wall:

OK, so he needs to lose the headband. But McConaughey does clean up well when he’s not surfing AND he does love his mama.

So what say ye about men and body hair? Are you a “little dab will do ya” kind of woman? Any men out there reading? Do you get it lasered and tasered? I remember in college the swim team guys and Lance Armstrong types shaving their legs. Last weekend when we were at the pool, resident Back Hair Man was out with his family. He had such an impressive back of hair that Miss A looked at him and said, “That man funny!” Yikes. And then I proceeded to hand her a snack bag filled with cookies so she’d quit staring at his shoulder tufts.

Now one thing I don’t care for? Facial hair. I’m not into beards, moustaches, or soul patches. (Sorry Mrs. F!)
