this is why i loathe traveling americans (children)

I guess its too much to ask to shut your kids up. Even on the subway. Even when they are announcing the next turn in the tracks to EVERYONE, even when they sound like chipmunks on crack and are sitting on top of the bench taking up room from someone else.

That is the opposite of cute, stop taking pictures of your children of the corn, stop your baby from screaming and shut your brats up.

Then maybe Taiwanese people won't hate foreigners so much. I mean Americans so much. I mean American children...or maybe it's just me.

What I should have said...

In a overly loud voice (because I'm an annoying American as well)
 "I guess reading signs in English that say to keep it down on the subway is just too much to ask for...if I had a kid that sounded like that I'd pierce my own eardrums out before their glass cracking screeches did it for me. And your baby is fat. Go America!"

why I love umbrellas...big ones

OMG Don't ever get me anything like this

So this blog got "Blog of Note" and this was recommended as a super cute (cheap ass) gift to give to a bride (someone you don't like) or give out as favors (please leave as soon as possible). Nothing says awesome like your face painted on an implement used to spank children/eat off of.

When I get married if I get something like this...I'll seriously make fun of it online, sell it on Etsy, take the money  and buy a mosquito zapping electric racket and hunt you down.

I might have even made a comment on said blog with nothing positive to say at all.

It's just one of those days. You know, where it feels better to point out the fact that people are eating poop sandwiches (buying these spoons) than to sit back in horror and watch them love every minute of it (leave comments like 'I love those...they are so cute!)
