Stick Figure Families

No no no. I'm not putting this on my minivan. As I've already mentioned there is nothing you can do to a minivan to make it look cute, trendy or cool. It's a minivan. But you drop the back row in that bee-atch and there's lots of practical to it. I like having a truck with a roof on the top. Even if it's kind of uncool and nothing like a truck. Ok, there I go barrelling off subject...
These images are everywhere. They seem to be a replacement for the Calvin and Hobbs peeing stickers that were so popular a few years ago. Remember those? I think the stick figure familes are cute, (although I wouldn't put one on my car) and I'm not quite sure why so many people have the hate on for them. I mean really, if you are wanting to hate on something, I think there's probably some Genocide somewhere in the world that you could take action to prevent. People waste their energy on stupid stuff... (like blog entries?). I know, there I go getting off track again. Maybe I need to be takin' some fish oil.

I created these for my Word Doc header for family letters. I've been typing instead of writing letters to family that doesn't have access to email (Grandparents and such) and these give them a little bit more of a personal touch. I'm so used to typing now that if I sit down to write a long letter my hand starts cramping. Oh stop. Don't even act like that doesn't happen to you.
So here's my stick family. Do you like how my stick person is about 40 lbs lighter than me? She's my fantasy self. The one that never goes to the gym and eats 5 cupcakes for breakfast every morning. Maybe she irons too...

I like them! You look great in yours! lol In fact, I've never seen one with a kid upside down. maybe you should design and sell some yourself. Those are cuter than the ones out there now. I actually like them and wanted one for riley, chris, and myself. maybe even one for Thunder, our chinchilla! lol
