"...with some fava beans and a nice chianti..."

Thomas has been fooling around with my cell phone again. It’s always a surprise, I really never know what I’m gonna find when I open it. Here’s today’s gem–the photo freaked me out but the caption cracked me up!

"Hello Clarice"

For the record, no, NONE of my kids have ever seen "Silence of the Lambs". I have no idea how he even knows this quote (I’ll have to remember to ask him when he’s around).

Postscripts: 1) I asked Thomas a little while ago where he got that line and he really didn’t know the origin. He even knew exactly how to say it, just didn’t know it was attached to this movie. I told him as much as I could remember–to try to scare the tar out of him–but I’m afraid I might have interested him instead :/. 2) Guess what’s on television tonight?! (interrobang, thanks to the Mamas of Drama for that little dittie). Queue the "Twilight Zone" music!…………….!

ROFL!!!!!! That kid is HYSTERICAL!
The picture scared the PARC out of me when I opened up this page!!!! (And I’m not stealing otherbear’s phrase – it really did scare the CR*P out of me….well, not literally)

Now you’re making me question my parenting skills, or lack thereof.
I actually sat thru that movie with my 11-year old daughter (at the time), just to teach her about the sickos of the world.
Is that why she’s into horror flicks now? Crap.
She shocked me with this one last year:

Dear robin. Ahh. Kids. How cute! I can’t believe ‘hello clarice’ has entered the popular vernacular with no connection to the movie. Which, by the way, took me about eight years to see and even then, I was scared shite-less.

I’ve been using interrobangs for years, I just didn’t know what they were called.
Now I’m going to see if I can find a font that has them.

You know, I’ve been distracted by your blogroll for a while now, mainly because I can’t seem to contract it from it’s 24″ expanded size.
But what really interests me is that none of them ever seem to comment here, yet with a couple of exceptions, your regular commenters aren’t on that blogroll.

My dad let my brother see The Silence of the Lambs when he was 8. I was totally against it, but as a mere big sister, I didn’t get a vote. At the end of the film, my brother piped up and said, “I’ll bet if Hannibal Lecter had kids they’d be well fed.”
Yep. “Eeeewww” doesn’t even start to address it…
