We made bows and arrows with old broom handles and bicycle innertubes. I'm surprised no one got hurt.
I need one person to respond so I can go ahead and finalize my vacation plans. Just one. And he's not responding to email or either phone line.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
We made bows and arrows out of twigs and macrame twine. THey were not very effective. My friend and I ended up whacking the other children in the head with the twigs, instead.

Speaking of toys, my engineering class just tested their trebuchets! The scores were something like "0, 0, 0, 3 inches, 0". As one student said, the trigger mechanism jammed. Er, mechanisms, as it happened to all three of them.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I didn't like dolls, but I had an elaborate collection of Breyer horses that I invented all sorts of dramatic scenarios for. They were usually either mustangs living wild and free, Talking Horses of Narnia, or, you know, Talking Mustangs of Wyoming, living wild and free.
Annabel isn't that into dolls so far, either, but can get elaborate games going with her stuffed animals. Her favorites are a complete set of Backyardigans beanie babies, with whom she acts out scenarios from the show, occasionally interspersed with her own inventions, such as "Backyardigans go to watch the baseball-Mariners, and then go to school the next day."
Oh, and ever since I mentioned that Tyrone on Backyardigans was a moose like the Mariner moose, she says Tyrone is going to be a baseball moose when he gets big.
Today DH tried to get her to wear a new shirt with an applique-type picture of a fawn on the front, and she refused. When they got to daycare, her friend Maya was wearing that shirt, leading us to wonder if the girls are somehow sending psychic signals to each other to avoid being dressed alike...

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Bows and Arrows are frustratingly difficult to make well!!!!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I had the Breyer horses. My grandpa built a stable for them. He also made me dolls for the dollhouse my dad built.
I usually read, though.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Argh! "Why should I learn French? In 20 years, everyone will speak English anyway."
Tell them that French babies learn French, so it can't be that hard....

I look more rad than Lutheranism
"Why should I learn French? In 20 years, everyone will speak English anyway."
Nonsense. Tell the silly student that it's much more likely that we'll all speak Spanish in 20 years.
