Papa...Papa...Paparazzi

Do you hate the paparazzi for invading the lives of public people and celebrities? Or do you love them for the salacious gossip their stalking fuels in the media? In a society obsessed with celebrities, whom haven't all garnered their fame by talent or achievement, the paparazzi play an intrusively integral role in exposing both real and largely skewed versions of their realities.

Husbands Are Like Children Because... They leave pop cans and cups all around the house. They leave dirty clothes on the floor. They have trouble putting away their clean laundry/don't do it. They pretend they don't know how to do something or can't do it well in order to get out of it. They play video games. They leave things turned on or open - clear path of where they've been. They don't say anything or genuinely don't think anything's wrong when you're upset with them. They forget that their plans affect others. They like to tickle and chase you around the house. They love to play outside. They see things more simply in black and white. They like you to pick out the
