I asked Pi to get the baby dressed, and rather than choosing, you know, clothes, this is what she came up with:
“Oh please! Mr. Tiger, don’t eat me up, and I’ll give you my beautiful tie dyed bandana plus a little sass to boot.”
Not to be outdone, here is Ood a couple weeks ago

Wait, Haiku Friday!
The clock says it’s a bit late.

mountains of snow grow porous

Why did no one tell
that this was available

As the holidays approach, I think we all get in the mood for some festive recipes. Luckily, Chef Ood has been in the kitchen whipping up something totally new and exciting.

I asked Isp what he wanted for his birthday dinner. He started to automatically quip, “Pizz–” but stopped short and revised hiself, “Yams! We never, never have yams. Why don’t we ever have yams?”

I think I have figured out how babies get such smooth, flawless skin. It is their daily spa treatment. The green peas full body mask, for example, is a pampering ritual that we as adults often feel we don’t have time for.

This post about the tooth fairy made me laugh good and hard! It reminded me of my favorite tooth fairy story, which really happened to a friend of mine. It’s too funny not to share:
Sam, 9, was down in the dumps as he trudged out to breakfast because the tooth fairy had failed to appear [...]
