Sometimes I have to let out my inner 13 y/o boy

Last night I removed the caulk from around the bathtub - in preparation for some heavy-duty cleaning and recaulking this weekend.  I posted something on FB that, while not dealing specifically with this task, did mention caulk . . . and the fact that my husband is away for the week.

26 HILARIOUS posts later in a back and forth exchange with my sister, we have decided that:

While hubby's away, with caulk I'll play . . . (courtesy of my sister)

Followed up by this observation of mine (paraphrased): Even with all sorts of tools and gels, using your hands to get caulk off works best.

Good lord, I am just in a fit of giggles and last night I was laughing so hard I was crying!   Yes, it is terribly immature, but oh man, is it funny!

 (and for the record, it was my 35-year-old-mother-of-5 sister who started it all. I think all the time in the hospital this week has made her a wee bit goofy!)

  • Cool me and my inner 13 year old boy love this.
  • I end up pronouncing this word very strangely because I try REALLY hard to get the L in there!  

    It IS kind of ironic that cauLk is a long tube you squeeze white stuff out of..........................

    (too much???)

    Surprise

     Yeah, whoever named this wonderful sticky invention was really having a laugh at all future users, I'm sure of it!

    This video is pretty much what my sister started with:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag6ZLSW_dD8 (SNL, so pretty SFW) - and then it just snowballed from there.

  • My inner 13 year old boy also loves this! :)

  • My little brother and I have an ongoing communication about D1ck's sporting goods.  He's 19, I'm 32.  Last week, in an attempt to revive the conversation, I sent him a text message that said "I love big D1ck's."  He told me never to send him something like that again.

    ETA: Apparently the nest doesn't want me to say ***'s either.

    We're kind of going out.

    This made me LOLYes

    No Siggy

  • I used to regularly volunteer with Habitat for Humanity and caulk was always a source of giggles.  Actually a lot of construction terms are quite bad when you think about it.  My inner 13 year old boy would giggle horribly when someone would say they needed to screw just about anything. "I need to screw this board"  "I need to screw this wall" etc.

    OMG lol.  My inner 13 y.o. boy totally digs this.

    Lots of love and continual explosions of babydust to my BG Besties! XOXOXOXO
