Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

"I think we have come to find out that the Education system, run by Liberal Hippies that really couldn't find any other job that allowed them so much time off, the ability to do drugs, and to spout their rhetoric is alive and well. It is teaching out kids things like 'Abortion is Good,' 'Government is Bad.' We have educators that, for the most part, don't teach to the subject, they teach to their beliefs. It is really sad, and even sadder when you see highly intelligent children buying into it." --Kelli

We had a good laugh over this. Maybe you will too.
Me: I’m getting to that age where my doctor is going to recommend a mammogram soon.
The Husband: (pointing to the picture in the William-Sonoma catalogue of a steak branded with three initials) I wanna get some of those branding irons.
Child: (also pointing to the picture of the branded steak) What’s that?
The Husband: It’s a mammogram.
Me: A what???
The Husband: A mammogram. Er, mammogram… mammo…
Me: Do you mean “monogram”?
The Husband: Yeah. Monogram. That’s it. It’s a monogram.
Does William Sonoma still stock steak branding mammograms? I need a set for myself.
That is a good story. Reminds me of the other day when I was tutoring this 2nd grader. The topic was historical fiction. I asked him if he thought he might want to take a guess at what it was. He said he already knew, it was when something was very funny. I said ahh, that’s HYSTERICAL (not what he said, the word he was looking for). It was a really good guess though.
Kids (and men apparently) say the darndest things.
It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
