Overheard

I adore my in-laws. They are generous, kind, funny, thoughtful people. However, they do have one little quirk. They tend to...ahem..."save" things for a long time (in some cases, a very long time. Here, I am referring to the box of Luvs diapers in the basement from the 1970's.).

The other day I happened upon my 2 1/2 year old playing with a few of Quinn's old He-Men that his mother has "saved" since Quinn was a little tyke. Forr was playing with the one that was called, Enormous Golden Hand



and the blue one with the skeleton face, I think he was called Skeletor.




I hear him say, "you have nipples. Yep, and you have nipples. Let's FIGHT!" Then he started smacking them into each other. In case you can't tell from the pictures, Enormous Golden Hand and Skeletor do have nipples. And hairy speedos.

  1. We have similar in-laws. My MIL gave me some jello to use in a layered jello salad, and it expired 20 years ago. I didn't use it.

  4. By the power of Grey Skull you are right Jared... it's embarrassing trying to explain this to my Masters Of The Universe friends. Well not as embarrassing as a couple of photos Mae had taken to show off their hairy speedos!! For reference purposes Fisto's steel fist was removed years ago and replaced with the gold karate chopping hand of Jitsu. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jitsu_(Masters_of_the_Universe)

  5. Ever wonder what a 15 year old can of pork and beans looks like? Tar, as it turns out. My parents also like to "save" things....and Shellee and I have been over there while they are gone "purging" said "savings."
