The Sunday Funnies

Brian installed a shade on our kitchen window; when it is raised, it disappears completely behind the valence.  When Dorothy came home from school, I said, "I have a surprise to show you," and I reached up and pulled down the shade.  Her jaw dropped and she gasped, "Was that always there?!"

Brian offered Dorothy some pecan butter for her waffle; she declined, and said, "It just tastes like a thousand pecans in your mouth at once."

The Sunday Funnies

Dorothy was reading jokes to me and Brian.  "What is the Tooth Fairy's favorite animal?" she asked.  "A walrus," I suggested.  "No," she answered, "molar bears," and she further advised, "Don't forget that these are jokes."

"I have an idea," I started.  "Remember those pencils with your name on them that Santa brought?  I think we should sharpen them and start using them."  "That's not much of an idea," Dorothy responded.

Dorothy honored her favorite stuffed animal with a Lego simulacrum
