"Mom, who is Paris HIlton?"
The question came out of nowhere. I was in the living room curled up in my favorite navy recliner. My daughter was in her bedroom trying to earn coins for my Club Penguin account so I can buy my own puffle.
Because she can be nice like that.
Duly noting that twisted way the world has of making completely random acts collide, I glanced up from the article I was at that very moment reading in today's issue of The Daily Herald: After a week without her, AP asks: Can we forget Paris?
"A spoiled little rich girl who has no visible talents or skills but through no effort or merit of her own is immensely rich and famous. Not to mention famously rich," I respond.
L~"Is she the one with the bunny face?"
I glance down to examine the picture (not this one) of Paris' overtanned face framed by her perfectly platinum hair. In my head I trace the outline of the typical hand-drawn bunny face--you know the one--superimposed over Paris'. I know exactly what she means.
"Yeah. She's the one with bunny face."
Apparently despite our best intentions or the utmost desires of our hearts, the answer would be a resounding, "NO!"

I think your daughter's question is testament to your excellent parenting skills more than anything. Admittedly, Paris is a subject you'd never want the little ones to find out about, but the fact she had to ask you and didn't already know merits major props.
Thank you. (Although you seriouly overrate my parenting skills.)
However, if she would've asked that question of her 15-year-old brother the answer would've been, "She's the reason Mom wouldn't let us eat at Carl's Jr. for an entire year."
There was a story yesterday on the MSN Homepage about the 10 women who create the most setbacks for the "cause" of women in general. Three of them were Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, and Britney Spears.
I could not agree more.
I hate her. Really. Hate. Her parents should be ashamed to have produced such a shallow, stupid child.
That's just my view.
That's Hot...
I've never understood anyone's fascination with that girl.
i'm not a fan of her but i'm also not a fan of anybody that is spoiled, rich, and acts better than everyone else.
L~ probably heard her name at school or something. By the way, she is getting so old! i saw her at school, i work part time there as a tutor, and she is growing up! i remember when she was just a little girl!
I could say the same about you, becks. In fact there are days when she has her hair a certain way and I look at her and tell her, "You look a lot like that cute Rebecca Karlsven girl did when she was younger."
Really truly!
Oh my gosh! She DOES look like a bunny! That fact alone has made my day.
I really need to get photoshop. It would've been funny to draw the bunny face over her real face (OK, so not her real real face, but her real photograph face) and post that photo, too.
No, on her real face WOULD be funny!!
I was totally thinking that we need to do a photoshop of her and send it out for Happy Spring cards!! Maybe we could add a couple of buck teeth too??
That picture of her is so creepy! Bunny face indeed!!
She has that look in many of her photos. As if she is saying, "I've got you right where I want you, World."
I wish I could forget Paris...and Lindsey...and Britney...and Nicole...
What's a puffle?
Oh! I meant to put a link to Club Penguin. It's a gaming and something website where everyone is a penguin and you make new friends and play games. Only I thought it was also the perfect place for perves to prey on innocent minor penguins so I got an account and became a penguin too so I could scope it out. We have had much fun playing sledding games and waterskiing games and Mancala. And I was impressed that my neighbor's daughter said "No, thank you." When my penguin asked her penguin if she wanted to be my friend. That's one smart 8-year-old. And polite, too.
Anyway. Apparently puffles are penguin pets. My daughter thinks I need one.
