My daughter has been buying pumpkin spiced things that should not be pumpkin spiced. Things like granola, yogurt, bagels ... Seriously, pumpkin spiced bagels. Someone at Trader Joe's just ain't right in the head and now my daughter caught their malady. What's the most ridiculous pumpkin spice thing you've seen?

I grew up in New England. They pumpkin spice everything (I am pretty sure you can find Pumpkin spiced pumpkin pie...)

I'm sorry sir, your daughter has a terminal case of Basic White Girl. There's nothing more you can do but accept her lifestyle and fund her necessary group home costs*

*yes, the group home has Greek letters on it.

I saw those the other day in the store. All I could say was, "seriously?"

Pumpkin spice bagels are the shit, shut your mouth.

There's a burger chain here that does custard as well, they have a pumpkin pie concrete. It's a scoop of ice cream, a slice of pie, another scoop of ice cream the it's blended together. It's the most glorious thing ever

This is my first* fall outside of New England, so all the reactions to pumpkin spiced things is funny, having grown up around it and enjoying the different flavor.

*technically second, but nothing is pumpkin spice flavored in Afghanistan.

You have no idea how true that is ... she is the whitest, white problemed child I have by a country mile. She thinks Elle from Legally Blonde is an aspirational character, for God's sake!

WHERE DID I GO WRONG?!

Pumpkin ice cream and, of course, pie get a pass ... and that does sound glorious.

But the bagels ... NOPE!

Letting her watch Legally Blonde? IDK, but good luck with that. You could try disowning her until she matures? But in all honesty, there are worse problems. At least she is into cars, right. right?

Brian, The Life of > burntartichoke
10/10/2014 at 12:47

NOPE! She's the only one of the four who does not have a license or car and is not concerned with getting one. If she was not a triplet, wherein the other two are perfectly fine reflections of my paternity, I'd be taking her for a DNA test!

Do you also dislike cinnamon raisin or blueberry bagels?

I DON'T KNOW! There's a reason I'm raising a hedgehog instead of babies... way easier and much more acceptable for hedgehogs to be spoiled :) She'll be fine. I kid about my sorority a lot (one of our nicer nicknames was Daddy Pays for Everything) but even the richest and brattiest did a lot of maturing in those four years, and even more once they were out in the real world.

And just putting it out there, Elle was at least super-smart and a genuinely nice person (pretending to be ditzy), she realized she didn't need her POS ex, and she graduated Harvard. notbad.jpg

Pepperidge Farms actually makes a pumpkin swirl bread, like raisin bread but with pumpkin, and it's surprisingly good toasted with a little bit of butter.

Oh well, you could always put her up for adoption.... :P

Just call her your wife's consolation prize, every mom needs that extra special princess. and look 66.6% success rate is pretty good for the three triplets, 75% for all, I'd call that a win. Maybe she will come around, only let her date gear heads you approve of, she learn cars for a boy if not her father.

Sam Adams Harvest Pumpkin Ale. One of my friends picked up a 6 pack of this last week because he, like your daughter, is extremely basic and super white. I tried a sip and it was, hands down, the worst beer I've had in my life. NEVER AGAIN.

This is true. All my poor mom got was me and brother. She was so happy when I brought my fiancee home. After 20 some odd years...another woman to relate to hahaha.

I live in WI. So that is a no but the other day I was walking to my class and heard a girl say she wanted there to be a pumpkin spice condom. I think that is taking this whole thing way to far.

You know what should be spiced like a pumpkin? Pumpkins. Insert Dr. Dennis Leary Coffee flavored coffee rant.

Eat a dick you hipster yuppie entitled fucktards.

I watched Legally Blonde once. I hated it. But to be honest, I only watched it for the orange thing in this screen cap:

I have an Apple Addiction, and not one that'll keep the doctor away.

Hahahaha.

Kids are never cute. Newborns look like smushy aliens, infants, toddlers and young children are loud, snotty, germrags, then preteens and teens are angsty little shits. Other people's kids are only adorable because you can just hand them back when they start screaming or pooping, lol.
