Okay – we’re going to file this one straight to random life thoughts…because it is one – BUT – I’m tired. I went out for a grownup dinner last night with a couple of friends, got to bed at 11:30 – the boy decided to join me at 12:30 – so my brain is somewhat mushy between the wine and the whine.
For a while now I’ve been lamenting to friends about the commercial for a product that removes your skin tags. Your WHAT?? You know the one, you know you do. Mother and daughter in hammock… “Mommy, what’s that disgusting flappy thing hanging off your arm?” – “Oh honey, don’t mind that – it’s just a skin tag.” (*sidenote – no one wanted ‘skin tag mom’ on their resume so the acting is BRUTAL – no??)
Even typing ‘skin tag’ is making me gag. But what makes me gag more? WTF happens to the skin tag – because people, it ain’t shrinking it, I think it’s loosening it so it falls off? Like wart remover. Oh god – it’s making me think of the Sex in the City when Miranda’s cat ends up playing smack smack with her kids umbilical cord that had fallen off. God I love Miranda.
So yeah – forget “the Caramilk Secret” – forget “who made the pyramids” – forget “why can men remember all 90 shots of their golf rounds but can’t remember your birthday’ and ALL those other unanswered questions of the universe…the real one – WTF happens to the skin tags? (**next sidenote – do NOT google ‘skin tag’ – although I’m totally talking to my sister, I think her extra nipples are SKIN TAGS!!!)
Happy weekend people and if you didn’t know, there is an additional Hallmark Day – and it’s today, AND I can rally behind it – It’s Child Care Provider Appreciation Day. I bow to Will’s daycare teachers. I truly think I’d be in rehab for life if I had to spend my days with ten toddlers.
Hahahahahaha!! OMG.. every time I see that commercial I die. That ‘skin tag’ doesn’t even look like it belongs to her. It looks like it’s freakin glued on.. or some computer graphic that’s photoshopped on. I wonder if the animators at Disney have anything to do with it?!?
And really.. wtf is a skin tag? like a raised little mole type thing.. but without the pigmentation? If so.. why the big freaking deal?! The daughter acts so grossed out.. as if it has an eye and some teeth.. maybe even a little patch of hair. But NO, it’s just a little piece of skin. That commercial makes it out to be way grosser (love that word) than it is… they’re contributing to mass skin tag hate.
But yeah.. I wonder what does happen to it?
errmmm….I kept the boys circumcision rings when they fell off. Still not sure that trumps keeping the toe though…
And that is a bad commercial. Even the mom looks grossed out when she says “skin tag”
In addition to the extra nips, I also grew more skin tags during pregnancy as well – my doc explained it as a hormones thing – which actually explains so many, many things .. don’t know the answer – “Hormones” …
Why did I cry when Ann Rohmer announced her retirement from City TV – Hormones.
Why did I hoover 2 plates of poutine and a raw hotdog last night – Hormones.
Why are there so many spiders in my house right now – Hormones.
Anyhooooo, it is a disgusting commercial and one that is quite insulting. If a skin tag is your only issue – dermotologically speaking or otherwise, I’m thinking your life is pretty OK.
I am DYING laughing…..how hilarious and revolting at the same time!!! Poor baby Teighan…
Sara, I’ll see your grossout, and raise you one. My otherwise perfect niece was born last month with eleven toes. Yep, when they counted there was an extra teeny tiny baby toe (with a little nail no less!). By day three, the doctors had tied it off and told my sister that it would be gone in 10-12 days. Last Saturday, the whole family was at my parents when the baby’s 3yo big sister pointed to something on the kitchen floor with a look a real distaste. My mom thought it was a dead bug and went to pick it up…you can guess what it was! My sister obviously has a sicker sense of humour than I, because the “dead bug” is going in Baby Teighan’s baby book. Eeeewwww!!!!
