for a long time now, one of my go-to phrases is "shake it like a can of beans." im not really sure where this came from, but i've been saying it for three years or so. it never really occurred to me that this was unusual until yesterday when i was bouncing a baby in a rocker a little too violently (he was having a great time, it just wasnt exactly sending him to sleep) and i went "sorry, im shaking him like a can of beans over here" and both my coworkers reacted like i had said something insane
list of other things i've said that my coworkers really like:
- everybody in the club getting baby (when 5 or more babies are fussy)
- going absolute baby mode over there/he's activating baby mode (when the 10 month old is having a fit)
- i play my blue eyed white baby (said when setting a specific baby on the floor)
- sick 'em! (said when setting any other baby on the floor)
- call her regina, she's a little bit dramatic (this is one of my go to phrases)
- into the gladiator pit!/hey have you ever seen gladiator? (when two babies start wrestling/fighting) (i have not seen gladiator)
- she's ready for college (when the three month old lifts her head to look around)
- lock in, brother (i say this the most)
i say most of these phrases at least daily.
one of the babies was getting picked up and started screaming as soon as her dad pulled her from her crib (where she'd been sleeping) and i instinctively said "that's what we in the industry call: baby moding" and he started laughing so hard he almost dropped her
- a common saying in the daycare is "no crying in the baby room!" typically as a joke/ironic response to young children crying (something they are known to do.) lately i've been taking this and running, saying things like "no vaping in the baby room!" (to babies coughing) or "no show tunes in the baby room!" (to babies screaming) and lately i said- in front of a parent - "no suicide pacts in the baby room!" (to a baby dragging another baby to the floor while trying to bite her)
- i keep saying "awww da googoo boogoo :-(" i don't know what this means
i also cannot understress the importance of being able to say "wooooaaaaahhhhh booger boy in baby world!!" whenever a baby has a runny nose
*driving in my smart car* Google glass, show me the nearest e-cig shop! *beeping sound* ugh no! Only show ones that accept Bitcoin!
this was considered an outlandish joke in 2014
Time stamps that punch you in the face
babys dont even say gogo gaga anymore they just bite you and inject you with their babypoison
Its actually babyvenom. Do you know nothing about babies?
hey buddy figured id give you a heads up i found two bigass birds and paid them 10 bucks each to swoop down when you aren't paying attention and grab one of your arms each and pull as hard as they can to rip you in twain midair. so id start investing in ankle weights or something because you're gonna need em
was watching a show called mountain monsters with friends last night and i lost my shit at this incredibly goofy edit that caught me off guard
I need to admit something to the US Tumblrinas. Philadelphia isn't a place to me. It's a cream cheese. You say "philadelphia" or "philly" and I immediately, and exclusively, think of the cream cheese. "Twelve people die in Philadelphia disaster" wow that must've been a Molasses Flood style event
I need to go rub one out. *goes to my secret chamber where the walls are covered in tally marks and I erase one mark* *it is unclear what happens when they run out*
