Cartoon Cuss Words

I have found myslf saying "phooey" from time to time. I've often wondered where I learned it. No one in my family uses it. The other day I was watching Popeye with the kids and ah-ha Olive Oyl said it. The next day I heard my son in the hallway say "tarter sauce." It is a whole new generation of cussing from SpongeBob SquarePants. It was just of those moments that I thought, "wow, I could have never anticipated how different my kids' life would be from my own childhood." At times they seem incomparable.

The Personality of Chairs

I finally fininshed my chair quilt. It isn't as big as I wanted. Other than that I think I love it. I looked at so many chairs in doing this project. I was thinking of what each of them would say. Chairs have personalities I think.

The Table And The Chair by Edward Lear
Said the table to the chair,"You can scarcely be aware
How I suffer from the heat
And from blisters on my feet!
If we took a little walk We might have a little talk.
Pray, let us take the air!"Said the table to the chair.

Said the chair unto the table,"Now you know we are not able!
How foolishly you talkWhen you know we cannot walk!"
Said the table with a sigh,"It can do no harm to try.I've as many legs as you.
Why can't we walk on two?"So they both went slowly down,And walked about the town,With a cheerful bumpy sound
As they toddled all around.And everybody criedAs they ran up to their side"See! The table and the chair
Have come out to take the air!"
But, in going down an alley,To the castle, in the valley,They completely lost their way
And they wandered all the day‘Til, to see them safely back,They paid a ducky-quackAnd a beetle and a mouseTo take them to their house.Then they whispered to each other"Oh delightful little brother!What a lovely walk we've taken!Let us dine on beans and bacon!"So the ducky and the littleBrownie-mousey and the beetleDined, and danced upon their heads,‘Til they toddled to their beds.
