===============
I was out walking with my then 4-year-old daughter. She picked up something off the ground and started to put it in her mouth. I asked her not to do that. “Why?” “Because it’s been laying outside and is dirty and probably has germs.”
At this point, she looked at me with total admiration and asked, “Wow! How do you know all this stuff?” “Uh,” I was thinking quickly, everyone knows this stuff, “Um, it’s on the Mommy test. You have to know it, or they don’t let you be a Mommy.” “Oh.”
We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently pondering this new information. “I get it!” she beamed. “Then if you flunk, you have to be the Daddy.”
=============
Even if you’ve been fishing for 3 hours and haven’t gotten anything except poison ivy and a sunburn, you’re still better off than the worm.

Well, that is all for today, I hope you have a great Monday and God bless!

Sunny Sunday! #13
Good morning to everyone! Oh my, it is a cold morning! But we will not talk about that. Really, it should not be so cold this time of the year, it should be much milder than this. So we will not talk about this. It was a nice sunny day yesterday, but it sure did not warm up much, not even inside, so my heater was on constantly throughout the day. It is just too cold. But we will not talk about it. I mean, I was shivering sitting in my chair writing yesterday.
That should not happen when the sun is shining. But it is just cold. So we will not talk about it. The days are getting nice and long though. It is daylight until 8pm now, and it is starting to get daylight at 6am. So nice indeed. I like the longer days, they make a person feel so much better and give me so much more energy…well, maybe we should skip the energy part. Longer days did give me more energy at one time, but it does not seem to work quite so well anymore.
Still, it does give that desire to get at doing things. Which makes spring cleaning easier than fall cleaning. Muffin was helping me this week. She would reach way under the furniture and pull out the dust dinosaurs. No kidding, she really did do this and she kept it up for quite a while. Then she got bored and started swishing the dust around with her tail and right into my face. That of course would make me sneeze.
Which made her run. Then while I was on my stomach reaching under things I could not move, she would come and sit on my back. Which meant I could not move. She always does that. Every time we clean together anyway. So I grab the handle on a drawer to help pull myself up. That drawer slides easily. Whack! AAAAAA! Hit my nose. But the scream caused Muffin to jump off my back. So I got up quickly. Well, quick for me anyway. There was more cleaning fun, but I will leave it at that for today. I hope you have a sunny Sunday and God bless!
