Funny, I thought it was Sweet, or "The Sweet" depending on what side of the ocean you live on.

"Diaper cakes" are upsetting! And who would have thought they'd come in so many varied colors? I would have assumed basic brown...

Funny, it used to be when I heard the song "Ho! Oh! Oh! It's Magic! You know-ow-ow...." I aways thought it was Jigsaw, when it is, in fact, Pilot.

I get confused about Dylan McDermott and Dermot Mulroney. I lost a bet with my wife on that one. And I used to mix up Peter Hamill and Peter Himmellman. I bought a CD by the latter, expecting to hear the former. I think the diaper cake is a practical gift for the expectant mother, but it tastes awful.

that puppy, not upsetting? disturbing, I say! how much cuteness can we be expected to bear? before we collapse inward, in a gooey ball of cutephilic appreciativeness?
fortunately the diaper link was slow to load, and I had time to have second thoughts...

EG: that's funny, cuz both Pilot and Jigsaw have anthologies out on Navarre this week.
JonDerN: yeah same ehre with the Dermots. Other confusions: Steve Reich and Steve Roach, and, inexplicably, Wayne Kramer and Arthur Kane.

Also, if I were pregnant and hopped up on crazy-pregnant-lady-hormones, I might take offense at the This Little Piggy diaper cake.

Two kids and I never saw a single diaper cake. I think they should make White House and Capitol Building diaper cakes for parents who have real aspirations for their kids. My baby mama said the only part of being pregnant she hated was having women at the office who never spoke to her before cooing at her and touching her belly.

My wrong answer to the first question would have been the Bay City Rollers. I love how that puppy drags the strap back into it's lair to give it a good gnawing, rather than out in the open where the other straps might see and run away.
-------------------------------
Paula - 2007-05-18 19:39:49
Yes...and even the gnawing is sort of tentative and sweet. "I don't want to hurt the strap."

Diaper cakes disgust me. I realize it's not actually a cake, and you don't actually eat it, but the idea of a diaper should not be associated with anything remotely edible.
I was one of those rare pregnant ladies who didn't care if people touched my stomach, even strangers. I kinda liked it. I felt like a happy Buddha, dispensing good luck to those who wanted to rub the belly. The sweetly human urge to touch a pregnant belly must be primal. On the other hand, I would not touch a stranger's pregnant belly, but I have had to stop myself from touching friends' bellies without asking.

The sweetly human urge...
Yes, it seems completely reflexive, as if she were truly carrying on the species for all of us. I did that just the other day--or rather my hand did it, as I watched in panicked chagrin. But the mother-to-be (who is barely an aquaintance) didn't seem to mind.

Greg - 2007-05-19 11:22:14
I wonder if that's the same human urge that makes football players reflexively pat each others' bottoms after a play.

Over here our clothes are so baggy that you can't tell anyone's pregnant til after they've actually given birth.
