charades...

Gen and Victoria were playing Charades... or their version of it at least. I was trying not to cry blood from my eyeballs, so I desperately tried to tune them out and threw myself into my book. Unfortunately (or fortunately maybe?), I caught this part:

[the answer is "Ninja Turtles"]

vicky: Ok, ok. Two words. TV Show. Wait, how do you do "TV show?"

me: You can't talk...

vicky: Oh, oh ok. Two words. TV show.

--Victoria does a crazy dance-kick followed by some flashy arm movements.--

actual size

gen: Fighting! Kicking!

vicky: no. no...

me: You can't talk...

gen: Ninja!

vicky: yes!!!

me: ughhhh....

Victoria drops to the floor and starts crawling with her arms behind her back... (she's being a turtle)

gen: SLAVE!!!





Yup. The popular children's cartoon, Ninja Slave.

NASDAQ

gen's friend vicky playing with her phone, as usual. uh oh. 



vicky: "ooh stocks went DOWNN!"

(wait for it, here it comes...)

vicky: "Dow Jones: minus 151.44..."

gen: "NEGATIVE! ugh 'minus.'"

vicky: "Nas-da-que... "

me: "NASDAQ!"


vicky: "...minus 57.19"



the future of America, people.

1000 Ways to Die

Me and Gen were sitting around, wasting a night away watching all the seasons of 1000 Ways to Die (totally inappropriate for this kid to watch... who's in charge of her anyway???! lol), and then this happened...

--silently watching the show in the dark--

gen: My question is, "Who's filming these things??"

me: ...they're reenactments!

gen: ohhhhh!
