We've already mentioned that in a new low for reality television, Kate Gosselin and Sarah Palin were going camping together.
Naturally, the set-up is promising. These two couldn't be any more different. One is famous for being a high-maintenance neat freak. The other loves to hunt, ice fish, ride around on snow mobiles, appear at political rallies, and keep an eye on Russia from her back deck.
But in focusing on Kate and Sarah, we overlooked the role the Gosselin kids would play. And as you can see in the following clip, they're a real handful. In the space of one minute, one of them ripped the tongue out of the Palin's bearskin rug.
And Kate's reaction is just one more reason why we wouldn't want the Gosselins coming over to our house. When your kid rips the tongue off someone's bearskin rug, it's only polite to offer to head over to Bears R Us to buy a replacement. But she acts all nonchalant and breezy, as though it were no big deal.
We never liked Kate Gosselin. But as a public service, we'd like to remind her that Sarah has guns, and she's not afraid to use them.
WHY is this happening? It's like my vision of hell.
Just the idea of someone else's kids ripping up my house makes me shudder. (As if anyone would like it.)
I had to chastise a friend's child several times last summer for 1. messing with the blinds, 2. opening and closing every single cabinet door, and 3. touching my pillbox. I kept waiting for the mom to say something, but when she didn't (maybe she's just exhausted? or used to a messy house?), I was put in the very uncomfortable position of having to say something to someone else's kid or else have my house be destroyed.
I have gotten good, though, ever since the Muddy Shoes/Newly Upholstered White Sofa Incident of '98, and have learned that what one says is, "In this house, we don't [put our muddy shoes on the WHITE SOFA]."
Just more evidence that Kate cares nothing about her kids and how they behave and eventually turn out in life. She only cares how long she can whore them out so she doesn't have to get a real job and be a real parent. I mean, face it... no one would watch her if the kids were well behaved all the time.
However... I cannot blame the one who pulled the tongue off the rug... thinking about a tongue on a bear skin rug, even a fake tongue, is just a little icky.
