But Mom. I’ve already climbed Mount Everest.

So in light of my recent GBOWR post, combined with my insomnia issues, I did some stalking browsing and found some random records that I thought interesting.  But my favorite of all is the story of Jordan Romero, a 13 year old boy from California, who is officially the world’s youngest person to have ever climbed Mount Everest.

Why is it my favorite story, you may ask?

Well, to be honest, I got stuck on hilarious made-up scenarios in my mind of this boys life after Mount Everest.

I mean. He’s 13!

Hey. I'm 13.

 

He’s climed Mount Everest.  What the eff did you do when you were thirteen?
Do a crazy dare at a sleepover party?
And the biggest thing is, how he can practically get away with anything now that he wants.

Mom: Jordan, clean up your room! It’s messy.
Jordan: But Mom. I’ve already climbed Mount Everest.
Mom: Touche.

Obscure relative at a family function: Jordan! My you’ve grown. What do you think you’ll major in at college?
Jordan: Oh, I donno. I’ve already climbed Mount Everest.

Teacher at school: Jordan, you didn’t do well on this exam.
Jordan: I know.  But I’ve already climbed Mount Everest.

P. Diddy: What the hell are you doing at my party?
Jodan: I’m Jordan Romero.  I’m 13.  And I’ve climbed Mount Everest.
P. Diddy: Welcome.

Just kidding.  Because I mean, his goal is to eventually climb the highest mountains in every continent.  So he’s obviously a determined kid.  But Jordan…if you read this? Seriously…do it…

I’m in the Guinness Book of World Records. Just Kidding. But Not Really.

And for what may you ask?

Obviously for “The World’s Longest Distance on a Unicycle in 24 hours”.

(Just kiding.  But hey, speaking of unicycles did you know Rupert Grint can ride them?)

On December 7th, 2009, my good friend and I attented something so spectacular and spectacularly weird that it could only be – “The World’s Largest Gathering of Santa’s Elves”.  ABC Family hosted the event in order to promote their movie, Santa Baby 2: Christmas Maybe with Jenny McCarthy and Dean McDermott.

It was free here in NYC at Bryant Park – 607 crazies people elves attended in total.  They gave us sick nasty costumes, a free packaged lunch (yup), a Christmas song mix-CD, and a free pass to come back to ice-skate (which I didn’t because I usually have bad experiences, like getting fingers almost cut off).  They played music, held competitions (which we kept on losing), made us do silly dances, and brought in Santa so we could tell him what we wanted for Christmas!

It was probably one of the most memorable things I’ve ever done – and since it’s been one year, I was thinking about it recently.  I decided to stalk some pictures – which I’m shocked I never did before this.  Fact: I am a world-class stalker….but another blog on that later.

Still don’t believe me?  Well then, you’ll be on Santa’s naughty list this year.

Where's Waldo?

Hangin' with Jenny and Dean, obvi.

 

My husband.
