Welcome to the vegetarian edition of Random Thursday.
I’m as surprised as you are.

Wah-OOOOO! I love to Chewwwww!
First off, an earworm from those surrealists over at the Dinosaur Train:
You’re welcome!
OOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOO
Brilliant . . . but just not the same
OOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOO
Tuber Tune!
Cha-Cha found us an acapella spud song—and it’s really good.
OOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOO
Botany vs. Psychology
Me: What veggies should we have for dinner tonight?
Sunny: Cupcakes!
Me: A cupcake isn’t a vegetable. Sorry.
Sunny: Cookies?
Me: Cookies aren’t vegetables, either.
Janie (looking up from her homework): Chocolate is a vegetable. What? It’s made from beans.
Me: Technically true, but–
Sunny: It is? Like jelly beans?
Me: Not really. They’re sort of seed pods and—
Sunny (bouncing up and down in excitement): Can we have choclit beans for dinner, Mommy? Can we, can we?
Me: Sorry, sweetie. We don’t have any.
Sunny: But I want them, Mommy. Call Daddy to buy some.
Me: Daddy doesn’t want to drive to South America for beans.
Sunny: You can ask him.
Me: Thanks, Jane.
Janie: You’re welcome!
My MIL: We could always have carrots.
Sunny: I don’t like carrots.
My MIL: I always put a little sugar in them, when I make them.
Sunny: Oooo! I like carrots!
Janie: Can we put maple syrup in them instead?
My Mil: No.
Me: You know . . . that doesn’t sound half—
My Mil: No.
OOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOO
John Leguizamo . . . IS Captain Vegetable
Love how he makes this role his own . . .
OOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOO
Couch Potato!
Any questions?
OOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOO
Vegetable Orchestra
This one is so absolutely amazing, you’re going to forgive me for the Dinosaur earworm. Guaranteed.
See?
What I wouldn’t give to neglect my kids right now and curl up in that couch potato and watch all these videos! How much I love your family dynamic?
…do I love your family dynamic? doy.
I skip over a lot of tantrums . .. they make for dull dialogue.
But I’m searching for that beanbag couch as we speak! If I find it, I’ll let you know.
Count me in for the potato couch. Oh to curl up there, butter as my pillow…I’m going to have some strange dreams tonight…
You’ll have to tell us about them!
Yeah, the potato couch is freaking me out actually. Not sure why, but I think it has something to do with the butter.
Maple syrup on carrots? Yes please!
Sleeping in butter doesn’t appeal?
Maple carrots sound amazing . . . my MIL is out of town, so maybe I’ll do some experimenting tonight.
I’d like some of those chocolate beans, please. Much better than carrots. What does your MIL have against maple syrup?
Also, the vegetable orchestra…superb. I wish I had the imagination to come up with things like that.
Next time I’m in South America, I’ll pick some up for you.
My MIL is a Southern traditionalist. Or something.
I wish I had the coordination to drill a hole through a parsnip lengthwise without maiming myself . . .
This is where I normally curse you for providing more distractions, but instead I’m going to thank you for the videos and for the great idea for maple carrots.
And here’s where I normally grin and say, “You’re welcome!”
You’re welcome!
