You Just Can’t Help But Be Startled
July 20, 2009
This has made me laugh every single time I have watched it. Do you remember how much fun it was to blow bubbles when you were a kid, with no regard for it sticking to your face or in your hair.

She looks so thrilled!
July 20th, 2009 at 11:01 amOh yes! It was less fun when Mom had to try and get the gum out of my hair…
July 20th, 2009 at 11:41 amI laughed too. I remember thinking, “this time it’s going work,” every time. Always a surprise when it pops. So cute.
July 20th, 2009 at 11:56 amImpressive… my kids still haven’t figured out how to blow bubbles without shooting the gun out of their mouths when blowing.
She is adorable.
July 20th, 2009 at 11:56 amLove it
I use to get it stuck in my hair but as you said then we did not care.
July 20th, 2009 at 1:18 pmShe is adorable! I love the startled look on her face when it burst. Hilarious!
July 20th, 2009 at 1:26 pmSo cute! And look how tan she is!
July 20th, 2009 at 1:58 pmFunny girl!
July 20th, 2009 at 3:09 pmTsk. You know, it’s such a shame that you don’t have any HAPPY kids.
July 20th, 2009 at 4:58 pmi remember having to have gum cut out of my hair several times because of my bubble blowing glee.
July 20th, 2009 at 5:10 pmI actually remember when Bubble-licous was introduced.
(Too bad I can’t remember how to spell it though, eh?)
You are braver than I. After having to have a cat SHAVED because of being covered in a TON of newly chewed bubble gum that one of my kids had left on the basement floor, I banned the stuff from inside our house.
What I really wanted to do was ban the kid from ever coming back inside the house.
July 20th, 2009 at 8:21 pmI’m pretty sure I learned to blow bubbles and snap my fingers the same summer. I remember getting a great deal of glee out of both!
July 20th, 2009 at 8:23 pmI’m amazed at how tan your kids are. I don’t remember them getting this dark. They get some nice healthy color!
I still remember a picture of her sitting on the bottom step with her older brother wearing two different shoes. It’s funny that I have enjoyed watching them grow.
Chris says: I think the sun wasn’t out enough for them to ever get tan in CT!
July 20th, 2009 at 8:59 pmI remember when I first learned to blow bubbles. i was about 8 or 9 years old and it was banana flavored bubble gum. A small piece was not sufficient, so I decided to chew the ENTIRE packet. Suffice to say, my jaws ached after a while, but I DID learn how to blow a bubble. I also learned how to peel bubble gum off my face using what else? Bubble gum!
July 20th, 2009 at 9:25 pmWhen I was five, my grandparents took my sister and me to disneyland. I was trying to blow bubbles with a large wad of gum, and… well, I don’t remember what the process was that led me to this brilliant decision, but I stuck the gum in my hair as ‘proof’ that I had managed to blow a bubble. I think an episode of the Simpsons had something to do with it.
I love how pleased she looks after that complete look of shock. Perfect.
July 20th, 2009 at 10:14 pmOMG, the cutest thing I’ve seen all day. And I work with 6 year old girls at a summer camp.
July 21st, 2009 at 1:01 amI absolutely love it. I played it a half dozen times!
July 21st, 2009 at 7:41 amYour daughter is beautiful! What a great smile!
July 21st, 2009 at 11:57 amLove her surprised look. My favorite used to be Bubble Yum.
July 21st, 2009 at 12:16 pmI swear I keep coming back to this video. It cracks me up everytime!
