as a child looking at the clouds and seeing different things like a bear or what not. I was on my way into work and saw some clouds and the first thing that popped into my head was "that looks like a shell border".

Now if that isn't addicted, I don't know what is.

I just thought I'd share because I actually had to LOL at myself.

The toothpaste has a star opening, I was like"Wow, look...it's a shell!!" icon_redface.gif

OK. I'll add to the weirdness. I also do the toothpaste thing. Instead of squirting it out across my toothbrush, I squirt it out like I was making a soft serve ice cream cone. I used to work at the local Dairy Queen when I was in high school so I guess that's where that comes from.

One more story about the DQ. I met my husband there when him and his best friend came to the drive through window on horseback and ordered their food. How could I reisist? My hero's have always been cowboys!!! He was the cutest thing ever. Still is!! icon_lol.gif

I'll try the shell with my toothpaste tonight!!!

Ha ha ha!! That is too funny. I still look at the clouds and see pictures but I also keep my eye on EVERYTHING from gates to paintings and everything in between and store things in my head that I'd like to decorate on a cake.

culinarycreations. You're the only other person I've heard of going through a drive through on horseback. That was when we were 16 and the first time he noticed me. I'd known about him and thought he was so cute since we were 13 at a junior high track meet. We're 40 now and he still loves that story.

jarjam. That's really cute about your son. You never know when kids are really listening to what we're saying. It makes you wonder why they pick certain thing (like fondant) to remember.

This is a fun discussion.
Thanks pumpkinroses.

you all are to funny. I haven't gotten to the toothpaste phase yet. But whenever I go grocery shopping and happen to walk past the cakes my husbands always yells at me because he knows I'm looking for imperfections. Also my kids do the same thing, they are always pretending to be making a cake.

I remember laying on the grass doing that as a child.

My son will look up and say that looks like this, or that. One time he said he saw Superman and when I told him that Superman was coming to see him I guess. His response............What the He** does he want to see me for. I almost crashed my car...............Wasn't expecting that so we had a talk about that one hahaha.

ok I have 2 stories....

#1 I used to be a bartender and when you are pouring your liquor you do a count. ( 1-1000, 2-1000 and so on) for your 1/4 ounces. Well, now while making cakes I still find my self counting for the liquids!

#2 My son was in preschool and the teacher was asking one of the kids where he got his outfit, the boys response was "modells". My son said " I don't go there, I go to MICHAEL'S". The teacher busted out laughing and HAD to tell me as soon as I got there. (I think I might take him there a little too often for my cake supplies!) icon_confused.gif
