Draw Something

There is this cool app called Draw Something. It basically works like this - you are given a word and you have only a paintbrush to draw a graphical representation. For example; it gives you 'Horse', you draw a horse, and the person you are playing with has to guess it. If they get it right, you both get a point. 

My girlfriend was really into this app, playing it for hours at a time with friends. One day we were in the car on a long journey and she was telling me about this app that she had forgotten the name of - she knew it started with 'Draw' but couldn't remember the rest. The the following conversation took place:

Girlfriend: "I really love this app, I can't remember what it's called..... Draw?...................................
Something?"

Me: "You mean 'Draw Something'"

Girlfriend: "Yeah, that."

Outstanding.

Reality TV Star

While watching TV, my girlfriend was flicking channels. She came across E! News on E! channel. There was a story about Honey Boo Boo's mother (endearingly named 'Mama June') and sisters ('Pumpkin' and 'Chubbs') and their new reality show. The shorts had Mama June quoted as saying this about her daughter's pregnancy:  

"Where’s her biscuit? It’s called a biscuit ‘cause it looks like a biscuit, ya know, when it opens up and…”

Then my girlfriend says - 

"If I was a reality TV star I would definitely be Honey Boo Boo's mum."

Really? Out of all the famous reality stars (Kim Kardashian?) she could be, she chooses that? Good god.

Conjoined Twins

My girlfriend is a fan of Abby and Brittany Hensel, conjoined twins from Minnesota, USA. Their reality show just started airing here in New Zealand, and my girlfriend was trying to explain why she liked this show so much to her mother, who isn't a reality show fan, explaining that she was impressed with their attitude to life and how they will try pretty much anything. She then goes on with this gem:

"They're so cute mum, they do everything together."

Yes genius, they are conjoined twins, of course they do everything together.
