When the dog bites! When the bee stings! When he’s feeling sad…. Grant wants to go right back out into the backyard. Thinking he’s learned his lesson about self-preservation, I allow him to go back out there. It is immediately too quiet. Always suspicious. He was scaling a 5′ fence (on the street side of […]
So this bee and this dog form a support group…
You have just recently stopped crying after having been stung by a bee. You have had a baking soda bath and sat in the tub with a baking soda paste smeared onto the sting. Your mom has soothed you and explained to you why you should leave bees alone. You are once again dressed and […]
So this bee walks into a bar and orders a baking soda bath with a chaser of baking soda paste….
You’re out playing in the yard (pretending to be a dog, of course) and a bee lands near you. Should you: a) attempt to engage him in conversation, a la Bee Movie, and hope he sounds just like Jerry Seinfeld and that you will become best friends and launch a small business together? b) sit […]

What’s wrong with this picture?
I was organizing digital pix and found this one from November 2005. Turkey!
I scream, you scream…
This did not end well.
My Target has a pharmacy but needs a bigger booze section.
The boys had a video game mission. Knowing what could happen, I still took all four boys shopping. Cocktail hour will be arriving earlier than usual today. Devin: Gave up on his dream of saving for his own personal XBox 360 and wanted to spend $40 of his allowance (NOW!!!) on a game for his […]
I never thought “Leave your penis alone!” would make my Top Ten most used phrases….
