What are your Once Upon A Time triggers?

I have Disney stuff in my room, but the one thing that pulls me into OUAT is a Mrs. Potts piggy bank and I am reminded of the scene where Belle drops the tea cup and says, ” It’s jay a chip, you can hardly see it.”

If I were to actually think about it the boarder in my room is wolves. Kind of live Graham’s guide.

A while back, we were listening to the radio and two guys were mentioning how “the price of gold” has risen as of recent. Every time they said “the price of gold” I started giggling. Needless to say, I received a few funny looks from my grandparents who know nothing of Once.

It’s gotten to the point in which words such as snow, gold, or apples can’t even be mentioned in a normal conversation without me thinking of OUAT.

My husband and I were at a restaurant last night and this guy at the bar with his girlfriend looked EXACTLY like Graham – I mean exactly. I couldn’t stop staring at the guy. Even my husband agreed with me. I’m sure his girlfriend was thrilled that I was staring at him – and I was tempted to go tell him the reason I was staring. But then I decided that most normal people aren’t as obsessed with the show as I am. Unfortunately I decided that the girlfriend would probably draw the line at me pulling out my phone and taking a picture or I would be able to post it here to show you that Sheriff Graham is alive and well in Indianapolis, Indiana . . .

Also, my sister in law is pregnant and just found out she is having a boy and is deciding on names. They already have a three year old boy named Easton and they need a boy name that goes well with that. I thought of “August” but didn’t want to be obvious so I cleverly asked my 10 year old “Didn’t your dance teacher name her new baby something that started with an ‘A’ or something?” and he said “Yes, August.” My sister in law doesn’t watch OUaT but said “OMG, I actually have ‘August’ on my list.” I thought to myself “Thank Gods” And then I went on and on for like an hour about how I thought August was the PERFECT name for my new nephew and sounds great along with Easton. Now we’ll find out August is the spawn of satan or something. I don’t care, he has nice eyes and looks good in leather. That seems to be a requirement on the show.

And accents. Especially Scottish accents. Not that I didn’t hear them before OUaT, but now as soon as I hear a Scottish, British, or Australian accent I immediately think of OUaT.

Clocks that don’t work. I helped my mother in law redecorate her guest bathroom. I found this very interesting wooden picture that is also a clock, it’s very unique and cool. Only it doesn’t work – she’s all concerned about this and is trying to find someone who can fix it; my point is that no one goes into the bathroon to find out what time it is. I’ll leave this one for you to figure out, we have a very strained relationship – the clock worked when I found it at the store, she got it home, put it on the wall and then it STOPPED WORKING . . . I moved the hands to 8:15. It is always 8:15 in my mother in law’s guest bathroom. They don’t watch OUaT.

My 10 year old just told me that at school sometimes someone will forget their homework or will have forgotten to finish a part of their homework and the teacher will say “I’ll tell you what, I’ll make you a deal . . .” and of we all know who this reminds him of!

Mirrors. I have a tall mirror leaning against the wall in my bedroom and now I keep having this feeling that someone might be watching me. 😯

Also, every now and then when my husband is goofing around with our kids he gives that Rumplestiltskin “giggle”. I laugh every time I hear him do it and think about the show. He’s always done it, I just realized it sounded like Rumpel the other day.

Speaking of Rumple’s giggle, my boyfriend has actually gotten pretty good at imitating it. 😆 Sends me into a big laughing fit every time. I always add a “Dearie” too.
