Interview with a one-year-old

This is a really clever video I found and I feel the need to share it. This kid is adorable and the dad has a very dry sense of humour. And together, they're hilarious! 

I wish life was more like soap operas...

Wouldn't it be great if life was more like soap operas? I just feel like my life needs more drama, you know? I feel like someone in my life needs to drive their car off a cliff, and we all mourn their death and have a heart felt service paying tribute to them. And then months later, when we've all started to move on with our lives... BEHOLD! The doorbell rings and there, standing in the rain (rain adds dramatic effect, you see) is the person we all thought was dead! Turns out he was in knocked unconscious and lost his memory in the accident, and a lonely Native American pulled him from the wreckage and nursed him back to health from the warmth and comfort of his teepee. There, as they drank goat's milk and ate bulls testicles (I clearly know very little about Native American delicacies) , he slowly found his strength and his identity. He also learned some badass skills like how to do a rain dance and weave a fashionable breech cloth and fashion a spear out of a branch. (There's always some sort of personal transformation and enlightenment.. so I figure making a spear is pretty enlightened).

And then maybe I can meet an older gentleman who woo's me with his charm and wit. At first I'm hesitant to start anything with him because I'm concerned about the age difference. And my friends are telling me I'm too young to settle down and I'm making a mistake.  But just as my heart is set on pursuing a beautiful life with this older man, my mother announces that she once had a fling with this man... and there's a good chance that he's... MY FATHER!

And then I think one of my friends needs to have an evil twin that locks the good twin up in a basement and pretends to be the good twin, all the while manipulating our friends and stealing money.



And then at random intervals during conversations, we could dramatically turn away from each other, and pull really dramatic and troubled faces so it seems like we're really hurt by the discussion that is happening. There would be a fire place in every room of the house, of course, just so I could dramatically lean on it and stare into the fire pensively before making some bold statement that shocks everyone, and leads to an ad break.

I suppose I would have to get extensive plastic surgery so that I never age, and look more and more tacky as I get older. I think I'll have to slap my boyfriend more though, they always seem to slap each other in these shows. Oh and we'll all have to cry ... all the time. And not just a simple tear rolling down the cheek, I want grotesque, puffy faces and mascara running down cheeks. Only the best tears for my soap opera life!

I've been watching some old Thank God You're Here clips on Youtube (yep, my job is that cool/boring that I have to resort to Youtube) and this is one of my favourites ever. He's such a loose cannon on stage, you never know what you're going to get. Love it!
