A New Law

"I know a good law..."

T (3rd grade) introduced his bill after a serious, but brief discussion about the government and why someone would want to be President of the United States.

"If someone has a lot of wall balls,....

I see what was important to him on his first day of school today.

The "You've Got Your Hands Full" Rating

I've learned to determine how well an outing with the boys went based on the "You've Got Your Hands Full" rating.

I know that snails and slugs are pretty much the same thing, but I just can't stomach the thought of feeding slugs for some reason. Snails, I can handle.
