wordless wednesday

Because really, the only words I can come up with are “conjoined” and “Duggars” and “ouch” and “WHY?”

Thanks for the helpful visual

And for those who have been anxiously awaiting the answer, the animal is a cheetah. If you voted for that, or wanted to but were confused by my intro, you win. You also win if you picked leopard, because I concede that those two can look quite similar. The overwhelming answer we get out in the world is … tiger. Stripes, spots, what’s the diff?

WW: Aspirations

by mayberry on February 2, 2011

The assignment was to draw a picture of what job you’d like to have when you grow up. Opie: I don’t want a job. I just want to be a dad.

We’re hoping a future assignment will cover “marrying well.”

WW: Hape

by mayberry on October 20, 2010

Weird mom confession: I kind of like going through my kids’ backpacks at the end of the school day. I have yet to come across any moldy food or illegal items, and sometimes there are gems like the principal’s hand-drawn diagram of the new circular drop-off area: “This map is not drawn to scale, for Mr. J. should never be confused with a cartographer.”

(Anyone else muttering “North to pick up! South to drop off, moron!!”)

Also, when you open up the backpack of a kindergartner, you might find a treasure like this one.

And then you’ll feel hape too.

I love this picture for many reasons (hello, knee socks!) but the dog has to be the best part.
