Because We All Need to Watch Something Just Darling

 

What, exactly, does the upholding of the parliamentary vote to impeach South Korea’s Park Geun-hye mean for the region? We’re all wondering. Fortunately, Robert E. Kelly, associate professor of international relations in the Political Science and Diplomacy Department of Pusan National University, is on hand to explain:

    It’s hard to identify the single funniest element of the video. Is it the Saturday Night Fever strut of the first child? The floating entrance of the second? I’d probably vote for Risky Business Mom entrance (socks and a hardwood floor?) but the additional layers of the one armed yank of the first child, the fact that the door managed to close before mom could drag them out, requiring them to reverse course- but wait she’s going to drag them out before finally lunging on her her knees to close the door. I’ve watched it 20 times and keep laughing.

    For me the beauty is how the comedy just keeps coming – when I showed my wife I kept saying “it gets better”.  By the time mom does the lunge, after dragging out #1, odds are you have a heart of stone not to laugh (even the miserable patriarchy lady cited by James admits it’s “great” – she is just not happy about it).

    Turns out he had found a Red Hot candy and shoved it waaayyy up his nostril, where it began burning his nasal membranes.

    This story amused me almost as much as the original video. (Which I suppose reveals my sense of humor to be only slightly more grown-up than a kid who thinks shoving a Red Hot up his nose is a terrific idea, but so be it: The image had me chortling like a grade-schooler.)

    For me, its the fact the moms pants aren’t all the way up.

    Just when you thought it was safe to pee…..  TODDLERS!

    Everybody I work with loves my daughter.

    So one meeting I took from home, my daughter who has figured that daddy is the peeler of oranges, taker offer of marker caps, operator of remote controls, and apparently opener of bags, brought me a bag of chocolate cover pretzels.  Not thinking anything of it while on a meeting, I opened the bag and gave mini_guru a pretzel sat her on my lap and kept on talking:

    Pro-Tip – the melting point of chocolate is below the average temperature of a toddlers little grabbers.  It got everywhere.  Missus_guru gave me quite a look.

    My sister did this exact same thing with a red jelly bean when she was three.

    At one point I worked in a bullpen. Privacy on the phone was all but impossible. One day Ed got a call from his wife — a sweet, if somewhat excitable stay-at-home mom.

    “Hi honey. What … ah … calm down, hon …”

    Meanwhile, an extraordinary change in Ed’s appearance and behavior had occurred. His breathing became irregular, his body shook, his eyes rolled back in his head, and he seemed to be biting his lips. Ed was having a seizure!

    “Honey, I … no. Not the emergency room … just … just contact Dr. Phelps and … I’ll be right home.”

    Ed struggled with his jacket and his emotions, eventually mastering both, before turning to those assembled and announcing with a straight face “Number one son has a marble stuck up his nose. I’ll be right back.”

    Update! The Wall Street Journal gets the scoop: An interview with the family, and more video of them with the kids. Totally darling.

    Mr. Kelly describes his reaction as a mixture of surprise, embarrassment and amusement but also love and affection. The couple says they weren’t mad and didn’t scold the children. “I mean it was terribly cute,” Mr. Kelly said. “I saw the video like everybody else. My wife did a great job cleaning up a really unanticipated situation as best she possibly could… It was funny. If you watch the tape I was sort of struggling to keep my own laughs down. They’re little kids and that’s how things are.”

    My wife thought it was hilarious. I tried to tell her that it was only because she obviously suffers from false consciousness, and therefore doesn’t know she’s not supposed to. She just stared at me until I left the room. It’s so hard to be a caring feminist man.

    Trump walking in all hopping hoppity is funnier with his face. I think they modified the video. It is funny.
