Lint Licker!!!

Never a dull moment.

This past week we vacationed in a rented cabin on the lake - spending the days enjoying simplicity; boating, board games, and marshmallow roasts. Nevertheless, as most parents would expect, the girls bickered from time to time over silly things no doubt suffering, literally, from "Cabin Fever."

In the middle of one of their few spats, my 13 year old yells at her 8 year old sister, "STOP IT YOU LINT LICKER!!!" Not really sure what I'd heard, I called her down from the cabin's loft to explain herself. Yes, she was name-calling; a clear infraction of the family code. Not really sure what appropriate punishment is for name calling when the name you're calling is sort of, well, random and not so bad. Turns out she called her sister a "lint licker" after hearing it being used as a replacement for some other unspecified derogatory name in an Orbitz commercial. I figured a verbal reprimand for name-calling (not to mention raising the voice) should suffice. Thankfully (and surprisingly) she didn't push back.

I don't watch much TV anymore and had never seen the commercial but rushed to youtube it the minute we were back in civilization. "S" has mastered mocking the actress in the commercial - I can't help but laugh every time she does it now; she sounds and makes a face JUST LIKE THIS ACTRESS. WOW - I'm laughing now just thinking about it.

Alright, I know you're thinking, "What the french toast??? Show us the video already!" So here it is. Enjoy.
