I absolutely adore Google. The ability to search for anything, anytime, has been a lifesaver—though it’s also sent my heart racing more than once! The beauty of Google is its nonjudgmental nature; you can ask anything without fear of being identified (provided your settings are correct). It’s truly a remarkable tool.
Over the past 4 years and 8 months, I’ve posed some wildly entertaining queries to Google—some quite personal, others downright hilarious, and a few that fall somewhere in between. I’m sure I’m not alone in having an amusing search history, so I thought I’d share a selection of mine, listed chronologically from February 2010, when I first learned I was pregnant, to October 2011, just after my son’s first birthday:
