Sometimes I encounter parenting dilemmas that can most likely only be resolved by a large band of Oompa Loompas.

I sympathise. My parents made me want to take drugs too.

So much so that I did. :)

If you encounter those Oompa Loompas, I know a few kids that need to be turned into giant plums and juiced or pushed down the trash chute. Send them on over to my house. Thanks.

"Little people" painted orange are never the answer!

Perhaps a nice child leash?
A backyardigans video?
Quickly flashing lights?

I had a girl on my softball team in elem school that looked like an oompa loompa. Wonder what happened to her?

Little Ms Blogger said...

Okay, that just cracked me up.

Miss Grace said...

Mr. Glob said...

When I was little and my folks took me to see "Willy Wonka" in the theater, (does that admit to how old I am??) I supposedly cried outside the building wailing that I wanted an Oompa Loompa.
Saddly, I never got one.

Just get a spray tan and a white wig.

And then make your children look at you through a kaleidoscope.

oompa Loompas totally freak me out. I knew this girl once we used to call oompa loompa. She was freakishly short but not midgit short and really wide. We were so mean.

Hm, that's weird. Sometimes *I* encounter parenting dilemmas that are only resolved by a large bottle of vodka.

Fortunately for you, today I look and feel EXACTLY like an oompa loompa.

Leah Rubin said...

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

The first time I read this I thought it said: Sometimes I encounter panting dilemmas that can most likely only be resolved by a large band of Oompa Loompas. And I thought, Well, that makes sense.

Mr. Glob said...

I left something for you on my page!

Heather said...

Oompa Loompas have always scared the hell out of me.

Geez, 23 comments for a one-liner. I'm impressed.

Perhaps a spoon for a sugar will assist.

Momish said...

Or chocoalte? Chocolate always helps, especially when made by Oopa Loompas.
