Three silly things to enjoy: First a riddle from my west coast brother - "Can you name three days in a row without using Monday, Wednesday or Friday?"
A story read by our exercise leader today - Two hungry robins were sitting on a branch. After grumbling about how hungry they were, they spotted a freshly plowed field from their perch. They flew down and gorged on worms turned up in the freshly turned soil. After they had eaten until they were stuffed, they were so tired that they decided to stay where they were and bask in the sunshine for a while. They dozed off and while they slept, a big tomcat snuck up and ate them both. As he strolled away he was heard to say "I love baskin' robins."
Mondays are my day to tutor a fifth grader and today we were reading "The Best School Year Ever" by Barbara Robinson. In one scene it was time for eye tests at school and the nasty girl told the little boy that if he couldn't read the chart it was because his eyes were in backwards and the doctor would have to take them out and switch them. When the little boy was being examined the doctor told him to cover one eye and read the chart. After he did that the doctor said "Ok, now let's switch eyes." Use your imagination or read the book to see what happens next.
