It’s widely known around my small circle on the Internet that I’m a fan of Canadian Ryans. Well, two in particular: Ryan Reynolds and Ryan Gosling. So you probably are not surprised that I’ve gotten a kick out of the Ryan Gosling “Hey Girl” meme that’s been going around the Internet since 2010.
(I can’t quite believe it’s been around for 2 years!)
If you’re not familiar with the Ryan Gosling meme, it involves people using random photos of a brooding Ryan Gosling with him “talking” to a girl about a specific subject, hence the “Hey Girl.” I’ve seen them for librarians, parents, and almost everything in between.
Now I haven’t found all of them to be that funny, but I stumbled upon Hey Runner Girl thanks to my friends over at Another Mother Runner and I got quite a giggle. And not surprisingly. The meme is usually the funniest when it relates to your own life in some way. And since I’m a runner and currently training for the Philadelphia Marathon, I got a huge kick out of it.
So when my friend Christina shared Homeschool Ryan Gosling with me, I just had to share it with you. You’ll have to take your own tour of the site to find ones that you think are funniest, but I picked out a few of my own personal favorites that I bet you’ll enjoy.
I’ve yet to submit my own, but it would probably be something like this: “Hey girl, Nice try with the lesson planner. It’s the thought that counts.”
I’d love to know what your photo of Ryan Gosling would say about your homeschool experiences.
