To properly understand this blog post, it is important that you have one small experience before we begin. Please go to
Google and type in the words "I like". Don't hit search or anything, just take a look at what Google is guessing you're going to type. Doesn't that make you happy? For those of you who are too lazy to have the experience I have included a picture for your convenience.
When I saw that I thought it was hilarious that Google thinks the most likely thing you are searching for is "I like to tape my thumbs to my hands to see what it would be like to be a dinosaur." But, more then that, I thought that I should have the dinosaur experience myself. So, naturally, I taped my thumbs to my hands, to see what it would be like to be a dinosaur. Here's the thing, I don't feel much like a dinosaur. I tried making dinosaur sounds, or walking like a dinosaur, but neither of these really helped the experience. The only thing I can say is that typing is much more difficult without a thumb so I now understand why I've never happened upon a blog written by a velociraptor.
In case you're wondering where the dinosaur experience started, apparently in one of those facebook notes that you share facts about yourself, someone out there actually shared that (that they tape their thumbs down to feel dinosaur life) as a fact. It was written about in an
article on time.com. The article shares 25 random things that people have shared through facebook. The other one I may need to try is #21: "I once sent a teacher into early retirement by pretending to be a cheetah and swiping at her from under a desk."

I love you, but sometimes I worry about you. I do have to say it was funny to see how rediculous you looked while trying to be a dinosaur. I'm just sorry it hurt so much to take off the tape.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I can't decide if I'm surprised or not that you actually taped your thumbs to your hands. Second of all, I wish I could say I had never had a student swipe at me from under a desk. But I can't. Because it's happened. :)
ReplyDeleteHahahahahaha. This post made me laugh so hard! Thank you for that.
ReplyDeleteMy friend and I used to put tape around our fingernails to pretend we had acrylic nails (when we were like 6.) It was pretty awesome, but I haven't wanted acrylic nails ever since.
What were you searching for when you typed, "I like...?"
And lastly, I wouldn't have been lazy if you wouldn't have included the picture of Google's search box!
it's too bad you don't know a teacher you could swipe at from under a desk...or do you....
ReplyDeleteI love that you did this. The end.
ReplyDeletexoxoxo
and this is why I love you, Jeff.
ReplyDeleteTHIS I love!!!
ReplyDeleteI know how much you like comments but I'm left speechless. :)
ReplyDeleteit has been a while since we have had a good child-like adventure. we built blanket forts in your living room like a year and a half ago. we need to go on a good quality kid adventure. i think it should involve dinosaurs.
ReplyDeleteStill laughing and may be for days!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are awesome. That picture...awesome.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I missed this post earlier. I made my 6th grade teacher retire early. I faked being sick to get her out of the room so the class could plan an April Fools joke on her. It wasn't that bad but years later I ran into her and she told me that class was the last one she taught. She left teaching after that!
