My husband had to practically beg me to watch an episode. He said I would fall in love with Louise the smart-ass youngest daughter. It’s like he’s married to a smart-ass youngest daughter or something.
So what is this weird little cartoon all about? It’s about a guy named Bob who owns a restaurant named Bob’s Burgers and his super strange amazing family that works in the restaurant with him and get into all kinds of crazy shenanigans.
So what is it like being an adult who has a secret love for a cartoon? Well, it’s kind of amazing and yet kind of sad. For instance, I spent my entire day off binge watching Bob’s Burgers one time. I didn’t move, I didn’t work, I ate, I drank, and I watched. It. Was. Amazing.
But at the same point, I didn’t admit to anyone that I spent my day off day drinking and watching a cartoon. Why? While the knowledge that I was day drinking certainly wouldn’t shock my friends or draw any judgement on me, I felt as though admitting my love for the cartoon would. Weird right? Day drinking totally fine, watching a cartoon induces shame.
Why is that? Why is it so embarrassing to admit that at almost thirty-two years old I enjoy watching a cartoon? I mean, I fully admitted my love for Judge Judy like it was no big deal. So why is this so difficult?
No really, I’m asking you guys, because I just honestly have no idea.
So why, since I am so embarrassed about my love, am I admitting it on the interwebs? Because I was in San Diego for this small convention and there was a Bob’s Burgers panel and I might have exploded a little from all the excitement.
Ever have that thing that just embarrasses you and you can’t seem to get rid of it?
