My idol is Ree Drummond, the wit behind Thepioneerwoman.com and all of its related sites. She's an amazing photographer, brilliant cook, fun mom and wife, and laugh-out-loud hilarious person. She posts in different sections off of the main page of her site. I recently ran into one of her posts in Confessions of a Pioneer Woman. In it, Ree describes how she gave in to her daughter's desires by giving her a Barbie and Tanner (the dog) set for Christmas. The toy comes complete with a little doggy dish and pebbles of food for Tanner to eat. The disturbing part: lift up puppy's tail, and he poops out the pebbles you just fed him, which looked more like poop in the first place. As Ree puts it,
"But then my daughter turned around and fed the poop to Tanner again, starting a strange, vicious cycle that has resulted in a state of utter nausea and confusion that I just haven’t been able to shake all day. The whole thing has left me in a gastrointestinal tizzy and flies in the face of all I’ve ever understood about digestion. It’s meant to be a one-way street, for goodness sake. It doesn’t go back in once it comes out."Interested? Check it out by clicking on the title, and then GO VOTE ON THE POLL on the top right of this blog.
