You have almost as rich and vivid imagination as my daughter.....the one who required five "klash-klashes" (washclothes) in her bath for all her friends. Of course now she doesn't need the fantasy type friends. The 15 mice, 8 cats, 2 doves, 1 beta fish, 1 sheltie, and 2 ferrets are coming close to satisfying her need for company. She does insist that she requires either a pet rat or hamster to complete her menagerie. Tomorrow is a home-schooling Lizard presentation. God help me.

Waiting at the end of the driveway with your child in a minivan because god Erin: No, you know what's terrible? The fact that I don't think my brother even knows what a bus is, never mind seen the inside of one. Eric: What's really terrible is wielding an imprivized stone tool to cut your way through seven miles of vines and canebrake thicket, hounded by packs of wild dogs and feral children, fighting gangrene and frostbite, to arrive at the sheer drop from which you are to descend by toe-holds onto the blasted rabblement below, only to discover that your high school has been burned down--again!--and that you forgot your number-two pencils. ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
