Maybe they are for your Barbies

I'm linking to a post that is a month old, but what can I say? I'm behind on a lot of my blog reading.

Doesn't matter though. This is the funniest thing I've read in awhile. Made me actually snort out loud.

It also reminded me very much of myself some days. There was this one time that Guy and I were in Target in the outdoors section. On the top shelf, there was a row of tiny tents and tiny sleeping bags.

I made the mistake of saying something out loud that I had thought in my head for a long time. I said, "What are those tiny tents for anyway? I mean, who really needs a tent that tiny?"

Guy just looked at me in horror as he realized that he had fallen for a true ditz.

All it took was the expression on his face and the words, "Um, honey, nobody uses those tents, they are for display," and I got whiplash being yanked back into the world of people who aren't idiots.

Me and Unkempt Mommy can just go hang out in our land of tiny tents where there are no bowling pins allowed.

  1. I have often looked at those and thought how wonderful it would have been to have one for my Barbies when I was little. I wonder what they do with them at the end of the season?

  2. Um you know how they have those display futons that are really narrow? Well when we were first dating or married and we were at WalM@rt I asked my husband "who the hell would buy such a narrow futon? Why not just get a recliner?" Oops... same reaction...

  3. When I was little, I always wanted one of those tents for my Cabbage Patch Doll. ;)

  4. Me too. Wanted one for my dollhouse. I think I even asked the manager for one once -- he said they were already spoken for.

    Note to self: go in to business making tiny tents for barbies and bratz. Bonus points if they're pink.

  7. Holy freakin hysterical!

    I once asked my dad (when I was VERY little) if they were for midgets.

  8. Very funny. I've never seen those tents. I'll have to check it out next time. We're not really "camping" kind of people. :-)
