Introducing: Engrish of the Week

I'm going to (try to) start having "Engrish of the Week" posts once a week where I share something from my personal Engrish collection.

(For those of you new to my blog and/or the term "Engrish" - read this post.)

This week's item: a small notebook I picked up in a Willow Grove Mall shop.

"PINK IS SWEET

PINK IS COTTON CANDY AND

BUBBLE GUM AND BABIES, ESPECIALLY LITTLE GIRLS"

The Post About My New Scale

I bought an analog scale for the bathroom today. I'm trying to lose weight and I thought it would be a good idea to have an accurate method of tracking my progress, rather than assuming my bread and butter diet is doing the trick.

There was an instruction sheet included in the box to explain how to set the scale to 0. Below the instructions, it says:

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

An occasional wiping with a soft cloth and mild soap will keep your scale attractive.

Do not use abrasive cleaners. Your scale does not require oiling or lubrication of any kind.

I have decided to leave the shrinkwrap on the scale. Partially so that I never have to wipe it down, but mostly so I will never be tempted to oil or lubricate it.

(**P.S.- Good news! I have lost 4lbs since January 6th; bread & butter can stay!**)

More Brotherly Love

Killian: "Mommy!"

Me: "Yes, Killian?"

Killian: "I share baby Finn"

Me: "Oh yeah?"

Killian: "I share baby Finn cookies!"

(This is when dropped the dish I was washing and ran out to the living room)

And this is what I saw:

Lessons I learned that night:

1) Killian is good at sharing

2) Killian is great at tattling on himself (thank goodness!)

3) I shouldn't leave a 4 month-old in the care of a 2 year-old while washing dishes (who knew?)

4) Finn likes chocolate cookies
