Friday Fun: More Silly Stuff

Happy Friday!  Here are a few laughs for you as you wind up another work week.

Anna: "I'll be like a giant someday and eat all the stuff you guys have. I'll grow and grow bigger and bigger and taller until I'm like a giant!"  All righty then.

My nephew:  "Boy praying mantises bite the girl praying mantises all over their bodies to give them bronchitis. Bronchitis makes their brains go funny, then the girl praying mantises forget to bite the heads off of the boys."

"Cough, cough"

The (Amusing) Hits

Okay, I'm hard at work coming up with some good stuff for next week. Until then, I thought I'd direct your attention to some of my favorite posts, some of which occurred very early in this blog's existence. This list will consist only of the touching, sweet and/or amusing stuff; I'll make a separate list of the "top" more serious discussion posts.

The "popular posts" column on the right of the home page lists the most read posts, and they are certainly among my favorites.  But there are others that are very near to my heart, yet haven't gotten as much attention.  So, here they are.

Please take a moment to check them out and share your thoughts!

Where Does This Stuff Come From?!

The light was about to go off. Finally, bedtime had arrived.  And then she said, “Hide, quick! I see one, two, free praying mantises!!!”  Huh?

I complied, and we huddled under the thick comforter, despite the fact that it was a 90 degree day and we don’t have air conditioning.  Anna was wide-eyed – clearly it would be a long time before we actually got to sleep.
