Caroline and I spent part of the afternoon making puppets out of brown paper bags. It’s all part of my SUMMER OF CRAFTS initiative and I figured Memorial Day weekend was a good time to kick it off.
I got out all our craft stuff, which is basically a plastic shopping bag from Michael’s filled with markers, dried up glue, scraps of yarn, and googly eyeballs in various sizes.
We got to work, gluing and drawing our little puppets to life.
And then I noticed that Caroline was using pom-poms on her puppets.
“What are those?”
“It’s their boobies!”
I hate to be critical, but I think the one on the end could use some kind of cosmetic surgery.
You know, just to even things out.
Hilarious!! Maybe Caroline has a future as a plastic surgeon with many a malpractice suit before her. Can I come over for Summer of Crafts? I’m waiting for my son to get old enough that I can bombard him with crafts!
Brassiere shopping must be hell-ish.
ROFL! That’s too funny.
Summer of crafts, I love it. I’m going to do that, too.
She must have breast fed.
I feel her pain! My advice: plastic surgery! It worked for me! But then again, despite the size difference, at least mine were both the same color.
@suburbancorrespondent: You’re not kidding about bra shopping! It was! : )
Is that TMI? Sorry…
That girl of yours just cracks me up!!!
Next craft project: The Swan/The Lunchbag Puppet Edition…let’s change these puppets’ lives forever and then put them in a pageant!
Reminds me of me when I’m nursing. The babies always have a “favorite.”
I’m pretty sure I didn’t know what boobies were until I was 14. Ha!
And I thought I had a hard time finding a bra… Hilarious!
if it makes you feel any better, my 9 yo asked me today when she was going to get some “bras” (she meant the anatomy as opposed to the apparatus)!!!!! if they only knew that they are not all they are cracked up to be! ha!
Hee Hee! That is hilarious!!
Uuuuhhh.. I laughed so hard I snorted. My husband thinks there’s something wrong.
I almost spit out my wine. Please don’t make me waste wine like that. You need warnings on this type of post. Please…
I am literally ROTFLOL!!!
I noticed that your bags are flat chested. It appears as though they have spent their mad money on collegian lip implants instead of augmentation. I’m not judging, but interesting choice…
Collagen not collegian. Stupid spell checker.
When my eldest son was 5 years old, we were waiting at a restaurant door after eating while my husband got the car and brought it around (true Southern gent – and it was raining!) It had turned suddenly chilly and, to keep warm, my son squatted down, put his arms inside his tank top and pulled the shirt over his knees. All of the sudden he starts walking like a duck and says, “Hey Mom! Look, it’s Dolly Parton doing aerobics!”
I about peed in my pants laughing so hard.
ACCKK! CRACK ME UP why don’t cha??!!! Super fun….great idea, could that pass for a class in anatomy?!
Speaking of evening things out, I passed an herbal store recently that had a billboard sign out front that read, “Breast Enhancements: Buy 2 Get 1 Free”.
I nearly crashed the car trying to figure that one out!
Visit To Love, Honor and Vacuum today!
Hysterical.
Unfortunately, I relate to the girlfriend 2nd from the left and her “minimalist” look.
Oh my gosh, that is hilarious. When Plastic Surgeries on Paper Bag Puppets Go Bad. LOL Bagged Breast Enhancements.
Man, that is going to be one heck of a puppet show.
Oh, if it were that easy
HA HA HA…reminds me of some pictures of mermaids my daughter did a few years ago…
I’m not a big laugh out loud person, but this TRULY made me LOL!!
That is hysterical. My 4 year old is very fascinated with boobies.She wants to know when she’ll get some and once asked me if my bra was called a boobie trap. LOL Love the lopsided lola
So hilarious!!!!
Maybe she could call Dr. Ray??
ROFL!!!
I think the one on the end might just need counseling to help her realize that she is beautiful just the way she is, and that the rest of the world’s ideal of symmetrical…ummm…features is just silly!
That Caroline is a funny girl!! Cute!
But her hair looks great!
That’s awesome! What a creative girl, that Caroline!
I agree with Veronica. Since I’m nursing right now, I believe that puppet is a literal representation of me half the time.
That has made my day…I actually am at home by myself and have just laughed out loud…thanks for sharing!
I think I may have just tinkled a bit …
… thanks for the laugh.
LOL! That reminds me of the time my then 5 year old was decorating the gingerbread men at Christmas. I looked over and saw that he was carefully placing a gumdrop between their legs. I’ll just let you guess why….
Xandra
Oh my! That is too funny.
You already have LOTS of comments – - – but I can’t help adding, LOL LOL LOL!!!!!!!
After reading all these comments from nursing mothers, I’m now rethinking my haste towards the whole marriage, babies, etc. phase of my life.
From the look of it, scary stuff awaits me.
Very funny. Very Very Funny!
LOL!! My four year old daughter always adds big circles, sometimes with dots in the middle, to the chests of her people drawings. She calls them “bumps”. LOL
I think that if you could find a small conch shell, a straw, and an empty ring box you could certainly fashion some sort of breast pump for the one on the end. Poor girl is engorged!
Big Mama..not sure if you knew this but I work at Michaels Corp. Office in Irving, TX. I plan and coordinate a lof of kids classes and crafts for the entire 1000 store chain. Check out our new kids program called The Knack. It’s free and you can find all sorts of kids craft ideas. Check it out at http://www.michaels.com
Ahhh..that is beautiful…I love crafts with my baby…a child’s creativity…oh boy !!
Hilarious! We have a summer craft initiative around here too. Have you seen The Crafty Crow?

I have my SS 4 yr olds make these all the time – but never has one wanted to put boobies on their puppet.
Caroline is one of a kind!
That’s hysterical! I even just leaned my computer towards hubby to let him read it and get a good chuckle. Chalk one up to “kid’s say and “do” the darndest things”! Thanks for making me laugh.
Sadly, I’m the one on the end…
BTW, Caroline is hilarious!!!
This is so funny! Thanks for the laugh!
What a great mom you are
That’s how I felt at 14.
Ha Ha!! Too funny!! My 2 year old walked over to my very distracted 9 month old while he was nursing and said “eat the boob”!!!! How do they even learn these things?!?!?
Very Funny!!!
forget about the large boobie… I’m more concerned about the ones sprouting out where a nose should be.
HILarious!
Oh, how in the world did Caroline get a hold of my picture to copy there on the end?
I had to stifle laughter at the table so my boys wouldn’t come over to see what was so funny. They are old enough to know about boobies but as the only female in my household we just don’t discuss them.:)
My summer craft initiative consists of CLEAN YOUR ROOM. Please, for the love of Pete, CLEAN YOUR ROOM!!!! It is time to throw away our summer craft projects from years ago that are crammed under their beds.
I about busted a gut when I got the picture after reading the post. I knew a girl like the one on the end. Luckily for her, pregnancy straightened out that problem.

KILLING ME!
I love this! Hilarious reminder of a not-exactly-like-the-puppet look- but my pre-reduction days. YES….admitted…right here in the middle of blog comments…. Sometimes you just gotta’ get real….;)
Oh my word! LOL!
“Summer of crafts initiative” – that’s hilarious!! Can’t wait to see what else you girls make! ; )
Too funny!
Oh, I’m crying I’m laughing so hard. My girls (5 and almost 3) always talk about boobies and they always make their rather small chested mom feel great when they compare their “little boobies” to my “BIG boobies” : ) – except when they’re doing so as loudly as possible in the middle of Dillards!
