Scrub Daddy

I gotta share something my friends.  I think this is simply hilarious.  Really I do.  This is it:

You see it looks kind of funny, right?  Mom bought it this weekend for daddy to use when he washes the dishes… you know since he is her personal dishwasher – snorts with piggy laughter.  Apparently you can put your fingers through the eyes and the mouth and it helps to ‘grip’ the sponge.  Mommy told daddy about it and he was like yeah sure.  

So later in the day, daddy uses Sponge Daddy.  And you know what?  Daddy absolutely LOVED it.  It’s kind of hard at first and then when it gets all soapy, it gets cushiony.  Daddy says you can hear the squeaks in the glassware cause it was cleaning so well.  AND daddy said he loved being able to put his fingers in the eyes and mouth to ‘grab’ it better.  He said he would highly recommend this product.  

Now we were not paid to endorse or not endorse the Scrub Daddy.  Mommy actually saw him at our local Home Depot store and bought one for less than $3.00.  She has since done research on it and saw where it was actually on Shark Tank – unbelievable huh?  

The next time you are out and about, you might want to look up a Scrub Daddy for yourself.  It seems that daddy really likes doing dishes now and has nicknamed his scrubber Smiley.  That’s original dad…. really it is – snorts.

 

Mission Accomplished

Do you remember last week when I had a BOLO (be on the look out) and an APB (all points bulletin) out for Twinkies Chocodiles?  You can read about it here if you don’t remember.  I told you that my mom if not anything is very pig-headed (snorts) when it comes to things that she wants.  Now you know where I get my stubbornness from – I don’t fall too far from the tree.  This weekend, she was determined to find these little treasures somewhere within a fifty mile radius of the Hotel Thompson.

Insert Mission Impossible music now.  Nana called my mom on Friday at her worky place.  Mommy told her of these delectable little treasures and gave Nana a mission of looking for them at store she was going to that day.  Nana  went to the store and even got the store manager involved to no avail.  Bummer.

Then mom/dad went grocery shopping at another chain store Saturday morning.  Again, nothing.  Bummer.  Now, it was getting to mommy.  She is not a quitter – especially with chocolate on the table.  Mom called Nana and they were going to meet up for lunch on Sunday to come up with another plan.

Sunday, mom/dad took Nana out to lunch.  Lunch was great but the thing still dancing in mom and Nana’s heads were these chocolate Twinkies – oh yummy!  So after dinner, a trip was planned to Wally World.  It was like humans gone wild when they entered the doors of old Wally World.  Fist bumps commenced and then it was ready, set and GO off they went in their separate ways to find the elusive Chocodile who some called Bigfoot – often talked about but never seen.

That’s when mom saw it out of the corner of her eye.  A blue stand filled with what you might ask – Chocodiles – THUD.  I think mom actually dropped to her knees in front of the display and thanked the heavens above.  She then called daddy who then called Nana and they all met in front of the alter of chocolate covered Twinkies.  You would have thought they had never seen chocolate before.

I can’t tell you how many boxes mom and Nana bought.  I *can* tell you that they freeze well – snorts.  And I can tell you that mom had one last night.  As she was moaning in satisfaction, I picked up a few choice words from her like the following, “Spongy cake goodness with a white cream in the middle surrounded by a chocolate heaven”.  Okay, after that I kind of left the room quietly so mom could have a moment.  I’m guessing that they are mom approved.
