can't stop smiling...

Allow me to tell you about Laser Duck. He is a super hero of sorts. He positions himself just right... Opens his beak wide... Quacks VERY loudly... And light reflects off of his uvula, melting or incinerating the object of his choice. Amazing. The kids told us all about it yesterday over breakfast.

I might also mention the game Small Head, which involves first choosing who will be the one with a small head. Next, large items are placed on the chosen individual's noggin, to make it, in contrast, appear abnormally small. Yes. I just learned about this after dinner tonight, when Jude called out, "who wants to have the small head?" I needed an explanation, and it was readily given.

So you see, this is why I can't stop smiling.
