The Label is Wrong

featuring Mom 2.0

Mom 2.0 was showing me all of her BeautiControl products, and we came across one called Lip Apeel.  

Mom 2.0:  You have to try this!  It's a great product.

Me: I'd love to!  What is it? 

Mom 2.0:  It's an exfoliant and moisturizer.  You put it around your lips, let it sit for a minute, then rub it with your finger. You'll feel it exfoliate your skin, and then you rinse it off, and the skin is so smooth!

Me: Wait... you mean it's supposed to go on your lips, right? 

Mom 2.0: No, around them. 

Me:  But it's called "LIP Apeel." 

Mom 2.0:  Yeah but that's because you put it around your lips, like this 

::demonstrates::

Me:  But... even the instructions on the label say to put it on your lips.  

Mom 2.0:  Well, you can put it on your lips, but it's really for the outside of the lips, for like... laugh lines & wrinkles.  

::Meanwhile, we're both sitting there with clown-face white rings around our lips, while my lips remain unexfoliated, dry and feeling left out.::

Florida Brown Dog?!?

featuring Mom 2.0

::One night, our dog, Luna (a brown-colored mutt) escapes. We're driving around searching for her, and come upon a stranger.::

Mom 2.0:  You haven't seen a dog run by here, have you?

Stranger:  No, sorry.  What kind of dog is it, in case I do see one?

Mom 2.0:  They're Florida Brown Dogs.  We have two, but only one escaped.  It's a Florida Brown Dog.  She's brown and her name is Luna.

Me:  What.

::This was literally made up on the spot, and she has been referring to them as Florida Brown Dogs ever since.::
