Painting Party (sea turtles)

The Sunday Funny

Dorothy is still reading children's lit which is littered with orphans and dead parents.  She is currently reading a book about a father and children who have adventures together, celebrating the memory of their mother who died, leaving behind a patent which made them very rich.

"It's better when both parents in a book are dead," Dorothy told me, "because when only one parent is dead, it's all they talk about.  When both parents are dead, they just don't talk about it."

More "Boo Bags"

4-day weekend ahead

Then Dorothy put those bracelets in a "Boo Bag," dropped it at a friend's house, rang the doorbell, and ran.

Dorothy watched online videos and made some complex rubberband bracelets

The Sunday Funnies

We were discussing the cake for Dorothy's ocean-themed birthday party.  "I think we should buy a cake from a store," Dorothy said, "so you won't have to make a mermaid out of fondue."

Dorothy was completing her math homework.  The problem read:  "Sally's twin brother, Sean, has 348 fiction books and 109 nonfiction books.  If Sean has read 300 books, how many books has Sean not read?"  Dorothy complained, "Why do they have to say Sally's twin brother, Sean?  That has nothing to do with the problem.  They could just say Sean has 348 fiction books..."
