A Funny Thing Happened

The oddest thing happened today: I had a really good time. The food was great, the company was pleasant and then I had a blast playing with my 4-year-old nephew. We were on a love seat together and I taught him MATH. I used my fingers or his potato chips and did a lot of 1 + 1, 1 + 2, and 1 + 3. I also made a silly singing game out of counting on my fingers. When I'd do the voice for "five," he would erupt in a fit of giggles and say, "Do that AGAIN!" I also taught him how to be creative. I had him sing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," for me then I started making up words like, "Twinkle, twinkle little frog, you are smaller than a dog." He thought that was the funniest thing ever and wanted to do it all day except his second line never rhymed and always had the word "brain" in it. One of his was really good and I said, "Hey, that's a good one!" A few minutes later when I did one he said, "Hey, that's a good one!" I thought it was interesting that he used the word brain so much. I somehow never mentioned it here, but my brother-in-law had his FOURTH brain surgery on the 9th. They installed a $14,000+ programmable pump so they can have exact control over how fast (or slow) the fluid drains out through his stint. He seemed in really good spirits and they were able to go in exactly on the scar so he doesn't have a new scar to deal with. Wait I forgot to tell you the really oddest thing that happened today. It sleeted and snowed. Yes. You read that right. It sleeted and snowed. It was 85 degrees two days ago, and today it sleeted and snowed. Of course we were all going crazy over it. We were all "Whaaaaaa???" And I made some jokes about our blogger buddy JR being in Houston from Michigan during this funky cold snap - because My Sweetie's family is from Michigan. I tried to take some pictures but I think the flash messed it up. I'll check them later. It really was a fun day. I hope everyone else had a great day, too.
