(Sigh) Ok, I’m gonna go all old school here LOL! I just wouldn’t do it! I know we have to pick our battles, but jeez! We’re giving kids way too much power these days.

OK, down off my Archie Bunker soapbox for now. In all seriousness, I feel for you, this is a tricky one!

LOL…no skulls this year. But last year we found a cat skull – big sharp teeth still intact. It ranked pretty high up there on the ewwww gross meter!

Sick is right. Or sic as the kids say. Either way, gag me.

You make a good point – it’s all fodder for the writer’s mind, I guess. Though it does tend to take me to darker places…

PS – thanks, it’s good to be back!

Man, I was thinking that was a calf hoof. Deer. Cow. Whatever, that is so flipping weird and sick and amazing. I wrote six scenarios in my head just from that one pic. Man oh man. Sick, as the kids used to say.

Good to know Por-que has passed on. Maybe HE had something to do with that hoof? Oops. Scenario seven!

Good to have your words back. Keep ‘em coming.

Wow! You got a whackload of free porcupine quills AND a deer hoof! I am so jealous. Did you score any skulls or antlers?

I can’t wait for the day that I can use it against her. Why must time pass so slowly?

I do remember the Depeche Mode hair you sported in college. Before your comment above, I just didn’t realize the styling choice wasn’t because of drugs.

Bazinga.

We once knew a young girl named Snow (actual name), so she keeps bringing that up saying – “You didn’t feel stupid calling her Snow, why is Shadow any different?”

Truth be told though, I did feel stupid calling her Snow. lol. Maybe the problem is all me!

A-ha! Issue resolved – taunt her now, tell her I told you so later. I knew this parenting thing must be easier than it felt!

Funny – everyone has assumed her to be a teenager, but she’s just turned ten. I guess in this changing time though, ten is the new fourteen.

I think I’ll nickname my future grandchild Pooompa Lolly. Or Slasher Ax. I haven’t decided.

Shadow does trump those, so when you put it that way…

We are looking at a strong ten year old, so I am crossing my fingers that the list you gave isn’t in our future. Disney just makes this family stuff look so easy…
