Update on the Bonus

Further developments in the realm of the bonus under-duck.
We now have many different types of bonuses, to name a few...
-Pirate
-Zombie
-Giraffe
-Cat (a favorite with the girls)
-Zombie (insert animal here)
-Gandalf and or Hobbits
-Angry/Mad (which sometimes includes the clause of warrior)
-Scary/Funny
-All types of Emotions at the same time
-Zombie Pirate
-Bestest Ever
-Highest EVER

We also now provide a new type of under-duck, The Jedi. This one is currently in the testing stage, and involves a spin of some kind as well the soundtrack to Star Wars (and possibly a light saber death scene, but this aspect has some kinks we are trying to work out)

Stay tuned for more developments coming soon...

Thursday

Who says cats aren't really smart...?

I just gave my cats the steaming hot remnants of a burnt omelette. I watched Solo go up to it, touch it (ouchy, hot!!) and pick a piece up and drop it into his water bowl to cool it off. Nough said...

You swim in WHAT?

Things I have heard children say #...6

Question posed by me: If you could fill a swimming pool with something other than water, what do you think the weirdest thing to swim in would be?
13 year old girl's immediate response: Gerbils!!

(eeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww!!!)

Tuesday

It starts with L

Things I have heard children say...#5
I was reading a 5 minute who-done-it book the other day, trying to solve very difficult logic problems with the kids. At one point I mention that these mysteries were really complicated.
The kid sitting next to me (we'll call him K) says "That is because they start with L" (he's 14, no explaining needed).
I respond by saying "So, that must mean that everything that starts with L is complicated"
"HEY" yells a girl (we'll call her L#1) "MY name starts with L, what do you mean I am complicated?" She gets really close to my face and puts on a disgruntled look.
Another kid (we'll call him L#2) says "YEAH, my name starts with L too. I'm COMPLICATED!!"
I say to L#1 "You could be mysterious, being mysterious isn't bad!!"
"I'm NOT complicated!!" L#1
"Ok ok, how about only things that start with LO are complicated!! Neither of your names start with LO right?"
L#1 walks away looking satisfied. But WAIT!!
L#2 yells out "Hey, Love starts with LO and its not complicated!!"
(hey, good luck with that kid)
