Since it’s Thursday afternoon and we’ve been known to veer off into random territory (like this, this, this, and this), I thought I’d toss another one on the barbie, er, blog. Below are things you probably never knew about me and John. Is it proof of our over-sharing tendencies? Yes. Evidence that we’re more than a little weird? Absolutely. But we just had so much fun with a Ten-Things-You-Didn’t-Know-About-Us post waaay back in 2009…
… that we thought it was high time we broke out this post three years later. So without further ado, some random bits:
1. I’ve always wanted to name a band. Not be in one or marry a rockstar. Just name one. All the time I say something weird and exclaim “that would make a great band name!” My favorite band name brain child: “What Ever Happened To Breckin Meyer?” (said out loud after seeing an old Road Trip trailer). Other favorites: “Exhibit A” and “Venn Diagram.” I know, I know. I’m certifiable. But it’s my idea of a good time. Also, I came up with “Pass The Mustard” last night and I’m kinda into it…
2. We assign babies to correlating animals. In a very very loving way. For example Clara’s a turtle. And a little bird. We see both of those animals in her all the time.We have about a million pictures that we glance at and say “Tuuurtle!” or “It’s The Bird!” She also has cousins who are a chipmunk, a bear, a monkey, and a puppy. Seriously, they all have assigned animals – at least in our heads. Here’s Clara’s “angry bird” face.
3. I know she’s not everyone’s cup of tea (and I might be a little scared if she was), but I’m totally under (as in, in no way over) Bethenny Frankel. I’ve seen every episode of Housewives Of New York, Bethenny Getting Married, Bethenny Ever After and even read her book called A Place Of Yes (I thought hearing about things like almost getting on the regular Apprentice and ending up on the Martha Stewart one were fascinating because there’s lots of behind the scenes stuff). And this next part might be polarizing to admit, but once a few years ago after a particularly good old episode of Housewives of New York I turned to John and said “now I totally understand why people get tattoos of celebrities.” Yikes, right? I just adore her hilarious honesty about herself – and I know some people are over her now, but I’m still on the train. She’s just so quick to confirm that she went crazy or had a lapse of judgment instead of denying it. I think it’s refreshing and I try to use that as my inspiration when I’m feeling defensive. That’s right, Bethenny Frankel is my inspiration. Hey, whatever works, right?
4. Nearly almost every day of Clara’s first six months on this planet she peed on her dad while he changed her diaper. We heard that was only a boy thing, but as soon as the first diaper came off, she just let it flow. And she usually made the face below. Is that not a Dr Evil/Mini-Me face or what? Hilarious. Note: John did not find it as hilarious as I did.
5. John’s favorite comeback (well, maybe second to “That’s What She Said”) is “Your Face.” No matter what someone says. For example, this dialog has actually transpired in our house – Sherry: “Oh man, did you leave that bag out in the car?” John: “Your face.” And for some reason I laugh every time. It’s his catch phrase. And I guess if pressed mine is “I do what I want!” spoken in a faux bratty tone. Even as a response to John asking if I’ll hand him the remote (which I then do and follow up with a pouty “here, but only because I wanted to”). Dorks for life.
Now it’s your turn. Tell me five random things, or at least one, about you. Do you put ketchup on your steak? Sing show-tunes in the shower? Count stairs whenever you’re on them (I totally do that in my head most of the time). Come on guys, let’s have some Thursday afternoon bonding, shall we?
kayt says
Ha! My daughter is seven weeks old, and she’s peed on us more than our four year old son ever did. It baffled me at first, but I’ve given up gracefully. I just triple check to cover her up every time.
And our go to come back is “don’t tell me how to live!”
michele says
i TOTALLY have an “I do what I want!” equivalent. It showed up when I was pregnant with our first child, so I was feeling especially sassy-slash-sensitive (ahh, hormones) and it is:
“Don’t you tell me what to do!”
it is always directed at my husband, and it will appear at any time now. sometimes, when i recognize it’s ridiculousness, it is sung at him, jingle-style. those times rarely make any sense. (ex: “hey babe, do you need to use the bathroom?” “DON’T YOU TELL ME WHAT TO DO!”)
Wendy says
This cracked me up! I have always assigned people to animals…and I am so glad I am not the only one! Maybe I got it from 101 Dalmatians when pet owners resemble their pets. I associate myself with an alligator and I have no idea why.
My favorite come back when my husband says something is “So…. it has come to this.” It fills mundane conversations with a dramatic tension.
Hubby:”The Cosby Show is no longer on Netflix”
Me: “So…..it has come to this…”
Nikki Kelly says
Apparently you haven’t been watching Franklin and Bash on TNT, because then you would know exactly what happened to Brecken Meyer.

Jenny says
We totally say “I do what I want!” and we also say “my baby eyes are tired” when we’re sleepy. This is an inside joke that comes from my friend’s baby brother and things their mom said to get him to go to sleep. My friend doesn’t even remember his mom saying this, but it has become a favorite phrase of my boyfriend’s (who has never even met the kid it’s about.) We also call our smaller cat a “pet-it”…as in an on purpose mispronunciation of petite. Other facts: I eat mustard with my fries, when I’m sick I need wonton soup. I can still put my feet behind my head and I’m 30, but unlike when I was a little kid, I no longer think it’s cool to show people.
Lisa in Seattle says
I am lost most of the time – I have almost zero sense of direction. After 10 years working in this building, I still can’t find where people sit. We have a large art collection, so I navigate by art (turn left at the little farmyard painting; go past the thing that looks like somebody emptied a 3-hole punch onto a canvas). A few years ago they moved a bunch of art around and I couldn’t find Treasury for a week.
I worked for a Major Game Company for a while, and I needed to be able to play Dungeons & Dragons but I couldn’t because I could never figure out where anything was. Also I am very pragmatic and non-creative, which is a huge drawback in RPGs (no, I am not going to attack the monster, are you crazy, that thing is DANGEROUS!).
Holly says
My brother was in a band in high school and I L-O-V-E, love the name of their band…
SLICK FISHY
But I like “Pass the Mustard” too…

anne @wit wisdom and food says
1. When I am going down the street and I see a dog stop to poop I look away because I think it is kind to give them privacy
2. I think that because I pay my bills with automatic withdrawals instead of being responsible enough to write the check and mail it on time is kind of cheating the system
3. I cry when people win reality TV shows and the cast takes a bow at the theater
4. I like to randomly answer the phone “buddy the elf what’s your favorite color”
I am completely with you on Bethenney though I am not nearly as open about my love
Rachel says
I thought I was the only one who cried when people won on TV! My hubbie thinks I’m craaaaazzzyyyyy!
kayt says
Five embarrassing/random things!
1. My daughter named herself. I was nine weeks pregnant, and we had decided on Daphne before we had conceived. I was at work, and this lightbulb went off in my head. I was having a girl, and her name was Fiona. My husband thought I was nuts until my mother called me a week later to tell me she had a dream that we had a blue eyed girl named Fiona, and I hadn’t told her about my revelation. It sealed the deal.
2. I have misplaced my driver’s license five times in three years.
3. I am terrible at spatial reasoning. I am banned from touching the Tupperware drawer.
4. I despise awkward moments in movies, tv shows, and real life. Like, my stomach hurts when there’s a ruse or charade exposed, I have to skip the scene.
5. When I was a kid, I was such a bookworm that my parents would take away my books instead of grounding me. I even got in trouble for reading in the shower. I balanced the book on the towel rack with one hand and washed my hair with the other.
Zoë says
I get a stomach ache when watching awkward/embarrassing moments on TV too. It got to where I couldn’t watch The Office because Micheal Scott made me physically ill.
Alicia says
I have to eat things in a particular way in order to enjoy them. Like for coated ice creams, I have to eat the outside first, then lick the icecream. My husband’s favourite thing to do is ask for some and bite it.
I also plan businesses, bands and houses in my head. Meticulously. In my head, I play sax in a band called “the Joneses”, that’s a twelve piece big band that plays themed sets to different eras. Complete with costumes. Then I realised that to get the sound you’d want, you’d need about twelve, and you’d either have to charge heaps for a gig, or everyone would be paid less than minimum wage.
Nicole says
My hubbby likes to say “I’ll decide!” when I ask him to do something then immediately does it. Also instead of saying “you know what I mean?” or “understand?” he says “You smell what I’m steppin’ in?” Ha! I giggle every time!
HeatherM says
First- John- here is how we change diapers on babies in the peds ICU, when they are so sick that a diaper change alone is a major ordeal and a diaper change gone wrong that requires a linen change for a baby on a bent is a HUGE ordeal. When the baby still has the wet diaper completely on, we slide a dry diaper under the baby’s backside. With washcloth in hand to immediately apply to prevent spray, we quickly open the wet diaper and apply said washcloth. We wipe minimally with wipes we have already rinsed in warm water (to dilute the soap and make it less caustic)- and also b/c cold wipes make them more likely to pee. We quickly wipe wipe, and then just slide the wet diaper out & secure the dry diaper already under the baby.
Now for my random dork fact. My husband and I refer to each other as “Mommy” and “Daddy” even though we have no human children. We are mommy and daddy to our beloved brittany spaniel named Morrie. The name thing has now extended to referring to our parents as grandma and grandpa even though they have no grandchildren from us. And they refer to Morrie as their grand-dog. My in laws LOVE having a sweet playful grand dog because he doesn’t talk back or have temper tantrums. They babysit Morrie every Friday night and he sits on the couch between the two of them while they enjoy their Friday night margarita might every single Friday.
YoungHouseLove says
Thanks for the tips Heather! Maybe someday I’ll give that a try!

Rhiannon says
1. When I’m bored, I people watch and narrate their actions like a nature documentary in my head, complete with a British accent.
2. I always wear cute underwear, even when I’m feeling sick and in sweatpants, just in case I get hit by a car. The paramedics and cute doctors won’t have to look at granny panties that way, and I might catch the eye of a cute medical professional. ;)
3. I’ve become friends with a sassy old male checker at my local grocery. We make eye contact while I’m waiting in line (and the line is always very long), and he proceeds to non-verbally question me as to which boys in line with me I think are cute. We have entire conversations with subtle eyebrow raises and smirks.
4. I was the only Jewish kid growing up in my high school. One of my teachers noticed and it became my “thing” sort of. Now, when I visit back home and I pop by the school to say hi and he’s not there, I’ll bring something I can put in his classroom mailbox. A calling card of sorts. Once I left a picture of dancing rabbis, once I left a piece of matzo. I always get emails afterwards. “Rhiannon, you weren’t here yesterday were you? There were thirty dreidels crowded in my mailbox when I got back from my meeting…”
5. I mimic accents at inappropriate times. My new boss is Irish and when he comes by to check on me and we chat, sometimes I respond in his native Dublin accent. Pitch perfect. I can’t help it, I swear! I watch too many foreign television shows and movies.
Elle says
Hahah my friend is the best at pinning what animal people look like & that is how she remembers people’s names. I think it is absolutely hilarious but once she tells me that someone looks like a chipmunk that’s all that I can see when I look at them! & now Clara is forever a turtle in my eyes.
caroline says
I can’t go to sleep if I’m not wearing socks.
And for years and years each time I said a sentence I would pick out a word and discreetly spell it out in the air with my finger! Mostly under the table or with my hand hidden up my sleeve.
Not but really I’m not creepy at all. Really.
Roo @ NiceGirlNotes says
I’m way late on responding to this one, but I often say “So’s your face” and “You’re not the boss of me” to my husband. He thinks neither are funny.
And I clicked on that older link. Sherry-Beth, huh!? I feel you. My legal name’s not Roo (if it wasn’t obvious), but I’ve been called Roo since I was a wee tot, and it’s way better than the alternative.
Such a fun post, and the comments are sooooooo funny.
YoungHouseLove says
I’m going to make you tell me your legal name someday. Mark my words, Roo!

Bethie says
Ha! Great random post.
My favourite comeback goes something like this:
husband: I had a hamburger for lunch.
me: You’re a hamburger for lunch.
Every now and then, it can get pretty awesome:
husband: That’s an oxymoron.
me: You’re an oxymoron.
The other one I’ll share is something my sister does: she quickly alphabetises words, peoples names, etc. as she hears them in her head. If you ask her to do it out loud it goes something like this:
you: John
my sister: H-J-N-O
you: Sherry
my sister: E-H-R-R-S-Y
you: Clara
my sister: A-A-C-L-R

Wow! That’s quite a skill!

Adeline says
Hi,
1. I talk to my cats, as I’m sure they totally understand what I say;
2. I’m 30 but I can only swim the breaststroke. I’m learning to do the racing breaststroke but I should say I’m trying not to sink (and the front crawl seems just impossible);
3. I have flexible thumbs: I can bend them both ways;
4. I quote movies way too often. Fortunately, my former roommate had the same tendency and we ended up quizzing ourselves;
5. I pet inanimate things (my computer when it starts running slow, beautiful books or pieces of furniture I covet…) but I’m pretty sure I’m not crazy (or am I?)
Amanda says
Lately I’ve been watching a lot of vloggers on youtube, so now everytime I do anything, I narrate and act as if I’m doing a vlog. Literally talking to my “viewers”… Werid huh?
Megan says
I think the personal animal thing is great. When my mom’s step mom died years ago, we always thought she was visiting when we saw a heron. There’s a long story with it but she’s been represented as a heron (it helped that she loved and lived on a giant lake). When my mom’s dad died, we thought he was a hawk during a family trip but after many sightings of a bald eagle, like it was following us, we realized that was his animal. On one family outing (with my mom’s side of the family) we saw a heron and a bald eagle flying together. Now how often does that happen?!?
YoungHouseLove says
Aw that’s so sweet!

Weezie says
When my husband tries to get me to do something I don’t want to do, I always insist in a whiny voice, “you can’t make me, you are not the boss of me” which came from our daughter when she was 3 or so. She’s 23 and grown out of that phrase, but apparently her mother feels the need to hang on to it!
Karah @ thespacebetweenblog says
I am IN LOVE with Bethenny Frenkel for all of the same reasons!! AND Ellen loves her and I love Ellen so there you have it. I can totally see why she rubs people the wrong way … but not me. Unadulterated truths (that aren’t meant to be hurtful) should rule the world!
Sarah says
OMG! I was certain I was the only one who said “your face” to pretty much anything my husband says. He doesn’t laugh though, it drives him crazy. That’s probably why I keep doing it…haha! I cannot wait to tell my husband about this. I talk about you guys to him like we’re besties anyway so he won’t be surprised…haha! I also put katchup on my steak :)
HeatherL says
Haha! I totally say “your mom” all the time!!!
Jamie says
I usually wake up once or twice every night and I always have a song playing in my head the second I wake up. It’s like my brain is playing elevator music while its waiting for me to wake up or something. Atleast it’s usually 80s music and not actual elevator music….

Team Bethenny! And we totally say “your face” too.
Whenever one of us does something well, my husband and I fist-bump… and then splay our hands out like fireworks. Every once in a while my husband’s firework will be delayed, and then he’ll fizzle it towards the ground like it was a dud. Haha!
Melissa P says
OMG my husband says “your face” too! As in:
Me: That’s ridiculous.
Hubs: Your FACE is ridiculous.
Said totally lovingly and sarcastic, of course. Cracks me up every time. Love the tall, dork and handsome ones! :)

bahahahah your face! I love saying that!! :)
Hmm.. one random thing about me.. I like to picture other people’s pets talking with weird accents. For example, my two cats are definitely English, while my parent’s pitbull is most certainly Spanish — her name is Lola.. how do you argue that?! :)
Jen says
NAMES FOR BANDS–My husband and I have been doing this for years (like, 25)! I cracked up when I read that you do it too! We’ve never written them down but one that we both remember as a favorite(it was mine, ahem) is God Drives a Rental Car. How did we come up with it? Who the hell knows??
This avocation all started with this clip we heard from Dead Kennedy’s lead singer, Jello Biafra. It’s pretty dated but still hilarious, IMHO.

Now that I’m a parent, I find myself narrating (out loud) every. menial. task I have to complete, all while referring to myself in third person. Also, this happens while I’m alone. For instance, when flying solo in the basement to switch the laundry from washer to dryer, I said aloud, “mommy is going to wash daddy’s shirts now.” I then cringed with embarrassment.

OMG I’m cracking up reading all this…
So I serenade my co-workers on a regular basis. Seriously. They’ll be just sitting at their desks, minding their own business, when I poke my head into the room and belt out songs. Usually good ones like “I like big butts and I cannot lie!” Then I just walk away like nothing happened.
I love your blog btw! I went to VCU, and now live in Louisiana, so reading your blog I feel like I’m still there in Richmond with my peeps. Thanks for that!
Born and Raised RVA says
Numbers. I am a counter like some have said: stairs, steps while walking, when I cut up veggies. I also make a wish and blow a kiss at the clock at every 11:11, 3:33, etc. And I am a cilantrophobe. Can’t stand the taste or smell of cilantro. It tastes the way a stink bug smells.
Born and Raised RVA says
Oh, and I sing to my dogs. I mean like literally make up the dumbest songs and go on and on. They love it, but it is a little weird when I realize that my boyfriend is home…

1. When I was in high school, my tongue got stuck on my braces
2. I can’t do math in English, i have to think numbers in Spanish
3. I like going to the movies alone sometimes
4. I have a crush on Phil Dumphy from Mothern Family
5. When I was a kid, i thought Smurfette was possessed by the devil and I gave her away to our housekeeper as a gift for her little sister because my parents wouldn’t let me just throw her awaY. A few months later, I asked my housekeeper if her sister enjoyed the doll and she told me she did but a few days later the house burned down and the doll perished (nobody was injured)…to this day, I still believe Smurfette did it.

Danielle G says
1.I sing a lot…when I say a lot I really mean a lot. Something someone says will remind me of a jingle I heard on the radio or some random song will just pop into my head and I just have to sing it. 2.I have the sound track to Tangled in my car and sing it loud and proud in my car to entertain myself during rush hour (have I mentioned I like to sing?).3. I am a clutz…like trip over my own two feet kind of clutzy. 4.I once walked up to the wrong house to visit a friend. And 5. I try hard not to swear so I just make up words when I drop stuff or bang my knee…my boyfriend and roommate think I am nuts! The knew word is, “Mother of Pearl.”

My boyfriend and I have dances we do for the theme tunes of some of our favourite shows. They’re really dorky and I’d die before I’d do them in front of anyone else.
Tiffany says
I serenade my dog. All the time. Today I made up a song about picking up her bone and Gumby toy. Most of the time it’s “You’re a Monkey, Lucy-kins” sung to the tune of the Grinch song. And I randomly serenade her with power ballads if they are stuck in my head. That didn’t sound so weird when it was in my head.
caree says
Funny exchanges between my husband and I:
-When we’re getting annoyed with each other (and about to start a fight), usually I say something to de-escalate (sp?) the situation like, “I hate your faccccce” (from ‘Role Models’). Cracks us up everytime.
-I sigh alot and take cleansing breaths often. Sometimes it means I’m tired, sometimes it means I’m annoyed. When Hubs asks what’s up, I sometimes say, “I’m just exhausting”. And he’ll reply with “~You~ are exhausting”. ;)
Tidbits about moi’:
-I apologize to inanimate objects if I bump into them (is that a female thing?)
-When someone tells me to do something I’ll just say mentally in my head “Beeyotch you don’t know my life” (like maybe when the yoga instructor was correcting my downward facing dog)
-Yours is cute, but I have a personal pet peeve against personalized tags. Probably comes from my days in law enforcement, it only makes you THAT much more identifiable in the event of a crime and you would not believe the number of times there was a APB out for a vehicle with a tag that had something like ‘BRATZ’ ‘BOOYAH’ ‘HOTTIE’ or something equally ridiculous. The best one though, was one of our 911 operators had one that was ‘NO 10-82’, which was the 10-code for a traffic stop. ;p
-My husband can flare his nostrils and I can’t, I can arch one eyebrow and he cannot. Guess what we do when we make faces at each other. And it .always. makes us laugh.
-I’ve seen some movies SO many times that when I’m bored (long car trips) I’ll play the movie in my head (weird?)
Laina says
I’m with you on the counting stairs thing! I also tend to type out sentences with my fingers when I’m talking…whether there happens to be a keyboard anywhere near me or not. Yeah, borderline off-the-charts on that one. ;o) I also love dipping potato chips in Pepsi.
My husband comes up with totally random, completely unrelated-to-the-person-or-animal nicknames. For example, our dog, whose real name is Armani, might be called Stapler today, Rick tomorrow, possibly Mange or Horace or Face or Thermos, Cuba Gooding Jr., etcetc… Our 3 year old gets some interesting names as well, and I am certainly not immunie to the strange nickname thing either! It’s absolutely hilarious and people just look at us when he calls one of us something odd out in public. Love it. :o)
Jamie says
OMG I am so glad someone else does the typing thing. If I’m watching tv I type what the people are saying w/o even realizing it! Usually I barely move my fingers and it’s discreet enough that no one notices but when my husband picks up on he makes me stop. :-)
Katie K says
I write comedy rap songs when I get bored. Like… a lot. Some times I even give my self weird challenges like “quick… write a song about Nicolas Cage in under a minute.” My favorite songs I’ve written are “Dem Scrimps”, “Shake it Like a Wet Dog”, and “Sensual Occupations”.

Great post, and great comments! Love it!
My wife and I quote movies all day long, and we spontaneously burst into songs from Tangled.
Most recently, we quote pretty much this entire parody of Ina Garten on youtube: http://youtu.be/7IPV9PtgqME
In a slow motion voice we exclaim, “I just love to see these rotisserie chickens going arrrrouuunnd,” and in a chipmunk voice, “Croutons!” It’s from the video, and you really must watch it. It will change your life!
We also have our own language. For instance. “Ima sheel mollocky” translates to, “I’m a silly monkey.”
It’s amazing how many other couples here are completely wacky. We always think that we are so weird, but I guess we would fit right in at a YHL readers convention.
Kati says
This is hilarious!!!!
1. My niece and nephew totally get called animal names – Monkey and Teddy Bear…come up with by me. Sadly, none of my kids have an animal name.
2. My husband always wanted to have a band named “Bloodwork Thursday” their was a point in my life where I had to go have blood drawn every week, and he thought that would be a cool name for a band!
3. I have to eat French Fries in groups of 2, if I have an odd number left I will even break them apart so I can finish them in a group of two. (Weird, I know)
4. I have a horrible obsession with the books from my childhood, namely The Babysitters Club. I have almost all 200 and when my mom calls me from a consignment sale when she finds some, I can tell her from memory whether or not I have it.
5. I love teen angst dramas on TV…I’m over 30, but Beverly Hills, 90210 will always be my favorite TV show, (last week I got giddy when I found a tshirt at Old Navy with the Peach Pit on it), but I watch the new 90210, One Tree Hill, The OC, Gossip Girl, you name I have probably watched it!
Now you know more about me too! :)

Haha I too often look at people and think of what animal they remind me of, hihi.

1. When I’m shopping, I never buy the product at the front of the shelf. I spent high school and college stocking shelves at a supermarket, and once saw a kid lick his hand, and then run it over a line of shampoo bottles down the isle.
2. The feeling of stepping on crunchy snow makes me nauseous.
3. I think I’m the only person under 30 that likes oak (even dated, honey oak) in interior design. We bought an 80’s condo in 2010, and I’ve not only kept the oak trim and kitchen cabinets, but willingly added an oak floor to the living room!
4. I hate feet.
5. My celebrity crush is Norm Abram.
Shanny says
So this is SUPER random, but as it turns out, we have a mututal friend. Her name is Alli B. (she went to JMU also) & she’s from Manhattan (and she makes sure everyone knows it) annnd she totally is my real life Bethanny Frankel. I’m not sure if you remember her, but if so, maybe you can see the similarities! It’s uncanny!
In other weird news, something I do that may be a little peculiar to some but tots normal to me. Often when at a fun event or enjoying something I wish I could share, I turn to my husband & say that I wish I could have brought our cat Banksy along in a baby bjorn. A kitty bjorn…totally normal. Right?
YoungHouseLove says
Alli B? Wait, I didn’t go to JMU (John didn’t either). Hmm, how do we know her? Does she know me or John? She sounds funny! Haha.
