Can You Hear the Who's?

I'm sure that most of you know at least some of the Dr. Seuss books. They're some of my favorites. So when I saw this picture that I took with my new camera, it immediately made me think of the Who's that live on a clover in the story Horton Hears a Who.

I decided to edit the picture and put this quote from the animated movie Horton Hears a Who. :)

Oh, and I will have you know - this is not a clover flower! It's actually a flower from our chives growing in our garden. :)

Kids and Their Funny Phrases

So, for those of you who either have lots of siblings, or are around lots of little kiddos, I'm sure you've heard at least a few of their funny and random phrases.

Like with one of my little sisters who LOVES to hoard pennies... She came in the the living room and announced...

Naturally we couldn't help but laugh, so she then informed us that "it's not funny!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Then, the other day, another sister was doing a dissection of a cow's eyeball for her science. All the kids were gathered around making the usual comments of "Eew!", "Yucky!", and "Oh, that is gross!" when another little sister says out of the blue:

Now, remember, this was a cow's eye. So amid the peals of laughter, we explained that the cow was dead. She said "Oh. Okay" I guess she just wanted to make sure that there wasn't a one eyed cow wandering around the planet some where looking for it's eye...

And don't worry, I hope to do more of "Kids and Their Funny Phrases" posts anytime one of my darling, cute siblings supplies me with a quote. :)

Pride of Green Gables...

The other day, the family was watching Pride and Prejudice and this quote was said by my dad during this part of the movie... so, I decided to put it on a picture. Here's the finished product... what do you think of it? Feel free to take it - just leave a comment telling me you took it!

Interesting Quotes

Here are some interesting quotes I happened upon at Scraps from My Workbasket; these are my favorites:

Going to church doesn't make you a Christian, anymore than standing in your garage makes you a car.

I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.
~Mark Twain


Vegetarian? That's an old Indian word that means "lousy hunter."
~Andy Rooney

The first one makes a very good point, the second one is very interesting and makes you think, and the third one makes me laugh (not to mention that I also heartily agree with the point it's making!).

~Stephanie

P.S. Here a quote from my aunt: "Logic makes so much sense."
