I have two daughters, thus we have lots of Hello Kitty stuff around the house. There are dolls, clothes, coloring books, hair paraphernalia, shoes, toothbrushes, headphones, backpacks – the list goes on and on.
A few years ago it started spilling into my world as well. It started with a mouse pad. It was pink and shaped like a bow, and well, pink is my signature color. The girls thought the mouse pad was for them. Silly children. Then one day I slipped and asked one of the girls if they had seen "my" Hello Kitty hair clip.
And now it's no secret that Hello Kitty is my Jesus. *
It's just strange the way the cat has worked herself into my everyday existence. It seems there is nothing I do where I don't feel the presence of the feline — from the smallest item to the biggest of my day, I'm always surprised to see Hello Kitty in the oddest places.
Take my typical day, for instance – nothing out of the ordinary. I may have a doctor appointment.
Like I said, nothing out of the ordinary, there. Then I might go to the shooting range for a bit, good times.
Meeting friends for sushi is one of my favorite things to do, and we've been on a big sushi kick lately.
Then we might go for coffee. Y'all know good coffee is one of my vices. I love coffee.
After coffee, I'd head home to get a few things done before the kids come home from school. Maybe cut down that tree I've been meaning to take care of.
Then of course, I'd have to take care of my bees. What? You didn't know I was also a beekeeper?
There's nothing I enjoy more after a long day of dealing with the kids and all the miscellaneous stuff I do than kicking back with my Hello Kitty bong. Not really. Yes, those are real bongs, but not mine.
But Hello Kitty has gone too far this time. Now there is Hello Kitty wine. Wine. Real wine.
What is this telling kids? Hello Kitty wants them to drink? I cannot give this the Kerry stamp of approval. The Kerry stamp of approval is a big pink K, by the way. There are several types of Hello Kitty wine. The wine's tagline is "our favorite girl has grown up." Well, I guess so. Hello Kitty is a drunk.
If I liked wine I'd probably drink it.
*that's a joke, people.
