NICE PINS!!!!!

Over the summer various children do various activities. I am lucky enough to live with 2 of my nieces and a nephew that are all under the age of 8. They decided to join a bowling league for the summer. Every friday they would go down the street to"throw the ball to hit the pins." 
Anson, my nephew, who is 4, ended up down the alley a few times on accident. He must take after his uncle. 
My purpose of this post is to show you the lovely, winning, triumphant trophy that ALL of the children got to take home and put on their various mantles and bookshelves at the end of summer. Am I the only one who sees hilarity here??! I know it is supposed to be a bowling ball and pins, but, it looks like a fat lady got stuck in a garbage disposal! Her legs are straight up in the air and we can see her lower belly! I would never, ever tell these kids. They are so darn proud of their bowling trophies! I see these "ladies" everyday and I have to snicker, I have even tipped all three of them upside down and made them "walk." Hey, it's fun to play!
 I think the design of this baby was done on purpose, what do you think???? What's that old saying, "It ain't over 'till the fat lady sings?" Well now "It ain't over until the fat lady is made of plastic, turned upside down, and comes home with you as a souvenir."

A ROSE IS STILL A......ROSEANNE????

A few years ago I was watching Jay Leno, and his guest was Roseanne Bar. She was promoting a new kid's dvd, that she made, produced, and starred in, herself. I thought this would be the funniest thing in the world! I took note of the name of the dvd and wanted to buy it. Roseanne singing and talking with sock puppets for children?? a laugh riot!!
So, I bought this dvd. I invited some of the nieces over and thought I would have a good laugh watching this catastrophe, and hoping that my nieces would not be scarred for life....
It came around to bite me in the rear. AND it hurt. bad. It was easy to make fun of, but ,they loved it!! They learned all the songs, and always want to watch it. It is on constant rotation.I cannot believe it. Their favorite is one about a doughnut farm. It is two minutes of her dressed as a cowgirl eating doughnuts. (Doesn't that sound like one of Tom Arnold's dreams come true?) I can't believe it, they love it!
The jokes on me. Thanks Roseanne.......
