Tman's new game


What do these 3 items all have in common???

It's Tillman's new idea of a fun game. You throw them all down the toilet and watch them go and then run away! By the time the next person sat down to do their business, the items in question had disappeared and the only eye witness who could speak our language was Kazzlyn and she said, "he threw his ball...the white one with the green stripes." "are you sure he threw the ball down there?" "well, maybe it was the gramote" "hmmm," i replied. And we weren't really sure WHAT WAS DOWN IN THE ABYSS OF THE TOILET FLUSH TUNNEL aka the throat! SO when the plumbers snaked out the "first game piece" it was the baby bottle, then out came the squeeze toy baseball and last was the keypad of the "gramote". We all were very surprised....i think one of the plumbers mentioned that he had never seen so many things down there before! I guess there is a first time for everything!
For Tman: GAME OFF!

"and the Geography Bee Champion is...'

STOCKTON HUISH!!!!!! We are all stunned over here, (yes, even stockton...he couldn't believe he was even in the geography bee) because he has really struggled with his maps this year and his teacher makes people who get less than 85% on their map tests join her map clubs and they GET to stay in at recess and discover how much they love maps and studying them. Well i guess being in THAT map club TWICE this year thus far paid off....thanks Ms. Kocher!!! Congrats Stockton! U ROCK! incidentally, the winning answer was Kansas and after he won he asked me (with no knowledge of the wizard of oz) "mom, can i GO HOME early now" hee hee! Now he gets to compete in April on the state level, etc. and you should have seen his face when the moderator told him he gets to study over the winter break to prepare for the big test in April.....his chin probably dropped a mile in shock! He thought he was done....priceless!
