What’s in the Jar?

I’ve been meaning to do a brain dump of all the random photos in my phone for quite some time. Several times a week I’ll come across something blogworthy and take a picture, or jot down a note, or rip off a screenshot. It’s this dedication and effort that supplies me with the Tool of the Week candidate on most weeks. So as I’m currently sitting here attempting to watch the Packers vs. 49ers (I can’t get into it because like I previously said I’m not a 50+ year old man with a beer gut hiding in his garage because I hate my family) I just took the opportunity to swipe through some old screenshots in my photos app. And OH BOY.

I forgot about this absolute bomb of a tweet. Is this the greatest tweet of all time? Absolutely not. But will it cause you to involuntarily ball up your fist as you put it to your mouth and bite down on your knuckles? Absolutely. Let’s start with the context.

This story starts with Chrissy Teigen. I’m sure I’ve taken some shots at her in previous blogs on here. But I’m calling a 15 minute peace treaty on my end for the purposes of this blog. Unfortunately I must report that she had a miscarriage or stillbirth (not sure which one). But she lost her child. Totally sucks. Feel terrible for her. 

I happened to find this news out through some viral tweets of hers in the hospital (which I will be refraining from commenting on due to my peace treaty). And I couldn’t help myself but to check the replies. I know that’s totally dicked up on my part but I HAD to look. It’s like watching a car crash. Actually it’s more like reading the replies to a Trump tweet. I’m trying not to look but my thumb is accelerating towards the ‘view replies’ button before I can even process what’s happening. 

I honestly don’t know what I was looking for. I clicked the “driving home” tweet and I just started scrolling. Lots of apologies and whatnot. Lot’s of inspirational bravery stuff.

And then I saw it.

I saw the thing I was looking for that I didn’t know I was looking for.

WTF THE HORROR. THE HORROR. Matt in NOVA YOU SICK SON OF A BITCH.

Am I seeing what I think I’m seeing???  “Julia wasn’t ready yet. 2 years later Julia came home.” You brought Julia home in a fucking jar!??

Please for the love of god tell me I’m misunderstanding something. Let me just check the replies to this one for my own sanity.

OH MY GOD so it’s not just me. This is exactly what I think it is. Oh my god.

britnee with the personal attacks making me feel like a complete POS. I’m sorry for having the same question as Grouchy I guess?

“It’s a legitimate fucking question” – Yes exactly! I’m genuinely worried there’s a fetus in the jar. 

“People in the replies said it’s kimchi but I honestly don’t know.” I don’t know what that even means, should I feel better or worse? kimchi?

“AYO THERES A BABY IN THAT JAR” is right! Should I be calling the police?? Did they steal that thing? Did the hospital give it to them in a to-go jar?

“Kimchee. Looks delicious.” What the hell are you talking about you sick bastard?!? Looks delicious. What the hell is kimchee!?

At this point it’s very apparent that the jar either contains a fetus or something called kimchi. It’s time to google kimchi. Hold onto your selt belt….

Wait. Kimchi is a food? THAT’S kimchi? It’s freaking pasta.

I haven’t been that nervous in a long time. Ok – now that I can breathe again. I can think. Let me re-read that tweet. 

Ok, let me put my translator hat on….So he’s replying to a tweet about how Chrissy Teigen lost her child and he seems to be offering his own personal tragedy of some sort. 

“Me and my wife lost our second baby.” So this poor guy’s baby definitely passed away. 

“Julia wasn’t ready yet.” Either Julia is the baby or Julia is the mother who wasn’t ready to have the baby. Is that Julia in the photo?

“2 years later Julia came home.” Julia came home, but it took her 2 years to come home. Hmm. I think Julia is the baby. But if she died, how would she come home. And why did it take 2 years for her to come home. I don’t get this line.

“She is 20 now.” I’m the worst guy on the planet at guessing ages. I initially thought the woman in that photo was older and I presumed it’s his wife, but maybe that person is 20. Ok so let’s assume that’s Julia. So the guy lost Julia but 2 years later this girl named Julia came home…

This guy lost his second daughter who he was going to name Julia, but 2 years later he had a 3rd daughter and he stuck with the name Julia when he named her. GOT IT.

Good lord if this guy only knew what he did to my brain with that tweet. Most of this confusion is on me, but I still think he shares 10% of the blame for wording the tweet the way he did. And for using THAT photo with the bullshit human remains looking kimchi jar. 

Also….this is probably one of those things you aren’t allowed to say….but kind of a crazy move to name the next daughter Julia if you’re going to refer to the first Julia on a regular basis. And I know for a fact he refers to her on a regular basis because he just blasted a photo of his other daughter Julia on twitter and tossed that piece of meat out into the world for the twitter hyenas to chow down on.
