It's kind of crazy here. The school variety show is tomorrow night and there have been rehearsals etc.
Ringo has been asked to play bass for a middle school 'rock' band. They're playing the song Fifteen by Taylor Swift. He is always game to play for anyone, but when he realized that's what they'd be playing, with a girl singing it, he said to me when we got into the car, "Mom, could you hear my soul screaming deep down inside when I realized what I had to play?"
But they sound pretty good considering they've only practiced four times.
Mr. T plays in the school Jazz Band and has a Trombone solo, his first Jazz solo. He's nervous, but I saw him practice today and if he just plays louder, he'll be fine. The trombone is a tough instrument to play.
And Bones is... all over the road. He's one of two 5th graders emceeing and he is doing his monologue and he's singing a country tune called "Getalong Cindy Cindy".
Yes, I'm buying the CD, why do you ask? I kind of feel like it's my own personal variety show.
Meanwhile, I have been asked how this sex talk has been going with Bones. He said to me the other day, when I told him we're not done yet, said with great exasperation, "MOM! I don't understand WHY you are making ME go. All the other Moms are making their kids go because they don't want to tell them this stuff, but YOU have no problem with it. So why do *I* have to go?"
He's going.
And so TGOO sent me this absolutely hysterical but absolutely NOT SAFE FOR WORK and NOT SAFE WITH CHILDREN LOOKING OVER YOUR SHOULDER video that I have to pass on to you.
Good Lord. You can't make this stuff up. Only the French...
TN suggested jokingly that perhaps THIS is the video Bones really needs to see! Think his teachers would be offended if I said they should show this clip during 'the big talk'?
Right. I thought so.

Posted by: vw bug at March 11, 2010 05:45 AMOkay,not only am I uncomfortable in my personal space ( see arms circiling body) but the fact that TGOO sent this to you made me pass out.
Posted by: pfb at March 11, 2010 08:22 AMBetcha Bones would spontaneously combust if he saw this video. I just about did.
Posted by: diamond dave at March 11, 2010 09:08 AMFUNNY. And it makes a point at the same time.
Too bad few folks in the U.S. who could use the "tip" will ever see it.
Posted by: George at March 11, 2010 10:30 AMI'm telling you, NSFW! I nearly spit!
If you get on youtube and search french condom commercials there is some FUNNY stuff out there.
Posted by: Bou at March 11, 2010 11:07 AMHoly fuckamoley! Funny... and it gets the point across. Too bad you will never see this piece here in the States, where it might do some good.
Posted by: Elisson at March 11, 2010 11:19 AMOMFG!
Posted by: wRitErsbLock at March 11, 2010 11:29 AMOn a sort of related note, we were at Costco the other day and in the vitamin/contact lens solution/etc. aisle when I noticed that next to the pharmacy were Costco-sized boxes of condoms. Who would need such a thing?
Posted by: PeggyU at March 11, 2010 11:42 AMWant another good French condom commercial? Go to Youtube, search for "my mother said I could", and watch the video with the little boy. You'll split your sides laughing.
Posted by: diamond dave at March 11, 2010 03:09 PMDave- I saw that! I could not quit laughing! "Oui! Oui! Oui!" That kid was dang funny!
Posted by: bou at March 11, 2010 03:32 PMBTW, for any who happen to still be reading comments...
When I saw the video, at first I was like WTF? Are you KIDDING me? But then... it got to the part where she drew a condom on him and I was completely skeeved out that she put her eye pencil on a public restroom wall. I was screaming at the computer, "NO!!!" GAh! The germs! I was wondering if anyone else thought that... Heh.
Posted by: Bou at March 11, 2010 05:27 PM... oh, wow...... good god....
Posted by: Eric at March 11, 2010 06:06 PMOMG! (and yes, I about that eyeliner pencil and where it's been. Can I just say "Eeeeew!) Besides that thought... I'm with Eric.
Posted by: Lemon Stand at March 11, 2010 09:20 PMOMG - ROFLMAO - WOW!
Okay as to why Bones has to go to that class? Because all his friends will be talking about it and he will miss all the fun if he doesn't go. *grin*
