Locator Ovaries

monster · 05-03-2011, 01:30 PM

Hockey moms were discussing lost items of kit and how they're always right there in the bag in front of the stinky child's nose, but it somehow magically takes mom to actually be able to see them...and a dad chimes in and says "oh it's your locator ovaries in action again". Apparently a term borrowed from some comedian whose name I promptly forgot. Anyone familiar with this routine who can tell me who that is?

So, I helped Thor (9) find his soccer shinguards yesterday -right there in plain sight where I said they would be and he said "you're so good at finding things" so I blurt out "yes, it's my locator ovaries". He's quiet for a couple of seconds and then says, "yes I can see how that would work. Because women are really good at finding things."

This probably should be in parenting, but then we all know parents have no sense of humor so who would answer the comedian question?

No idea about the comedian, but I think my Dad has locator ballbags.
We always used to appeal to him to find things for us.
This was partly because of the way my parents responded to the news that something had gone missing:

Dad - Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find
Mum - If I find it I'll smack you with it!

You could take my old man, blindfold him, spin him around a hundred and three times, put him on a helicopter, drop him in the middle of the Uncompahgre National Forest, take off the blindfold, and he will walk, from nineteen miles away, straight to the tree from which he killed a deer in 1975.

Move the mustard six inches to the left or right, he ain't got the first clue where the mustard is.

But, he's my Pop, and I love him.

ETA: I guess the tree don't move around.

My mom's response was always "What do I get if I find it?" (to which I started replying as a saucy teenager, "I'll keep loving you for another day,") but I like this one better.

Sort of like the notion that mothers have eyes on the back of their heads. It took me a long time to figure out how true that really was. It was reinforced by watching my wife and my own kids to see it in practice. An amazing feat. Simply amazing.

I thought it was just some fancy computer lingo type word that I didn't really get, like meta. I didn't even think of acronym! That's why I always use "edit:"
