Parental Observation Of The Day

[realexplodingcat]

It's a good thing babies have armpits. Otherwise, they'd slip right out of your hands every time you try to pick them up.

not if you hang onto the ankles.

just kidding :P

[explodingcat.livejournal.com]

LOL. That's fantastic. And good advice.

I was thinking much the same thing. :)

When I worked at the chicken factory, the Ones That Almost Got Away were usually caught by some poor sod wielding a long pole with a V shaped hook on the end. The poor chicken was caught by the ankle and dragged to it's doom.

I was thinking something similar might work with lobster sproglets. ;)

I'll keep that in mind for when I start my mechanically separated baby business.

I'm still searching for 100% pure Baby Oil. That Johnson & Johnson crap doesn't have a single drop of baby in it.

You'll just have to squeeze your own.

[chorus-of-chaos.livejournal.com]

actually, it was my chicken catching days that made me think of it. You'd dive for the damn thing and either try to land on it or shoot out an arm and catch the damn things leg and then pin it down before it pecked/flogged you to death.

[lightning-rose.livejournal.com]

You have my sympathies. It was bad enough dealing with the partially eviscerated ones.

[eilonwy.livejournal.com]

That's why they make 'em that way, innit?

[explodingcat.livejournal.com]

I was kinda thinking they were for holding two bambino size scoops of ice cream. Maybe not.

BWAHA

[explodingcat.livejournal.com]

Is that some kind of abbreviated 'net speak for Babies With Armpits Have Arms?

[oceanic.livejournal.com]

Yes. Yes it is.
Which makes most of the times I've used BWAHA to reply to an LJ comment a complete non-sequitur...

Armpits!

[praxisloki.livejournal.com]

That's what I've been doing wrong all these years.

[blixa23.livejournal.com]

The same can ALMOST be applied with adults.

But the full nelson is a bit more effective.

[explodingcat.livejournal.com]

Armpits are essential for the full nelson. Can it be applied to someone without a head though?

[blixa23.livejournal.com]

Yes. However, in extreme cases (as if not having a head is extreme enough), it ends up becoming the Heimlich Maneuver.
