  • We have a book in our bathroom titled “Footprints” by Margaret Fishback Powers. Whenever I see her name, I can’t help wondering what a superhero with fishback powers would be like…
  • America gets it’s name from the Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci. That makes me deeply thankful that we don’t live in Vespuccia the Beautiful.
  • Lisa came up with a funny new nickname for Cambren recently: Spongepants Squarehead.
  • I just learned that the word “jumbo” entered the english language toward the end of the nineteenth century when it was the name of a famous elephant owned by P.T. Barnum.
  • Who says you have to put your pants on one leg at a time? Just sit down on the floor… presto.

Clint, you know what’s funny? I usually sit on my bed and put the pants on both legs at once. *chuckles*

Fishback powers would be the ability to breathe underwater, and swim with the aid of a back fin.

Hmmmm….fishback powers….The power to swim on your back like a fish. Or how about the power to grow fish on your back. Or the power to fish into people’s back pockets. Like a super sly pick pocket.

Speaking of Spongepants Squarehead, maybe it’s time to check those pants of his.

I’m so glad we have the word jumbo in our language! It makes me feel happy. Not just happy, but happy in a big way, like JUMBO happy! :)

That works with underwear too. Just make sure that your bottom is really clean before you sit down. Challenge: try putting on your socks two feet at a time. Now there’s a trick!
