THE STORY OF IDIS- FROM BOY TO SUFFIX
THERE ONCE WAS A FINE LAD NAMED IDIS,
WHO EMPTIED OUT MANY A PIEDISH,
SWELLED AND DID FLY,
RIGHT INTO THE SKY,
THEN SAID, "AT HOME DO NOT TRY THIS!"
SO NOW, THE SUFFIX OF IDIS,
MEANS SWELLING-LIKE THAT OF OL' IDIS,
S'IF YOUR BRONCHIAL TREE,
IS SWELLING-DEAR ME!
YOU MUST HAVE THE DREADED BRONCHITIS!
SO NOW IF YOU EAT UP A PIEDISH,
FEEL SICK AND SAY, "GOT PIEIDIS!"
WELL IF YOU SAY 'PIE-IDIS'
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.....?
THE SWELLING OF PIE = MORE PIE FOR ME!!
I hope you liked my limerick trifecta, I came up with it this morning.
If you don't like it, then you don't like my sense of humor...so why are you reading this? :)
If you like it but don't understand it...it's basically saying that Idis means 'swelling of', so you can't eat a burrito and say "I got burrititis! ow!"
If you like it AND understand it, then yippe-yie-yay!

thoughts by Caroline
In school, we've been learning about Rosa Parks and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. My favorite part is the part where Dr. Martin Luther King was assassinated because of how the other guy was sneaky and because I think death is interesting. It's also interesting that he got the Nobel Peace Prize.
I was late to school because I woke up at 7:30. And when I got there, I had water my eyes because I did not being alone going in the school and there were no more kids.
At lunch, I sat with my two best friends (austin and jamie) and so we had a nice chat and we had our lunch. Also, someone spilled their chocolate milk! And then, after that, we listened and had a nice fun thing with ice cream. I picked sour ice cream and sour looks like there's one side with green on it and one side with pink on it. The green side is the side that is sour and the pink side is the side that is sweet. I like the sour part better than the sweet.
Back to talking about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He was a great, great teacher and also taught in his church and gave prayers like his father. And I think that is great because he is a lot like Heavenly Father and I'm really nervous because at the first thing, I didn't know him, I didn't know anything about it...but anyway, it was cool. And now I'm talking all about him and he's such a good, good man. So I think it's cool and the speech I like the most about him is the only speech we talked about. It's called, "I Have a Dream." And it was awesome because he marched and when people fought him, he didn't fight back with fists. He fought back with kind words. And that's why I like him so much! Because back then, the color of their skin was like different colors like white was tan and black was like really dark skin and so white people (which I am a white person) were only allowed to go to really cool things and the black people were treated bad. And the white people could sit in the front of the bus, go to any restaurant they wanted, and go to an only white school. And black people had to be separated. They couldn't play, they could only use some drinking fountains, and they had to go to their own school which was unfair.

wisdom from the mouth of babes
Miriam (when I picked a piece of ice off the floor as she was refilling her water bottle): You can just throw that in the sink, Mommy. Vex had it in his mouth.
Me: Well yeah, you wouldn't want it in your water bottle anyway. It's been on the floor.
Miriam: Well sometimes, when popcorn falls on the floor in class, I put it in my mouth instead of the trash. As long as it's clean, you can just eat it!
Josh: So how do you know if it's clean?
Miriam: If you see a hair on it, you don't eat it. Otherwise, it's clean and you do!
Yesterday (MLK day), we took the kids to Chick-fil-A. Our first attempt was foiled by a closed and potentially under construction Chick-fil-A. That's when Caroline shared this gem:
"When I grow up, I want to be like Martin Luther King, Jr. I'm going to try and change a rule like he did. The rule I'm going to change is that Chick-fil-A will always be open."

The time I barely survived Vacation-Survivor series part 6
Okay, hold up.
I know what you're going to ask.
Why is vacation dangerous?
Why did you put part 6?
Why are you insane?
Why do you like 2nd person so much?
I put part 6 because poor idiot Jonah knows what 2nd person is but can't count.
I like 2nd person because it lets me insult you inside of a blog.
I'm going to tell you why vacation is in this story because that is the freaking title of the blog!!
As for being insane, uh, there is no explaining that.
WHY CAN'T I HAVE A SAFE VACATION?
Every vacation we take, something bad happens to me.
Why is the universe out to get me?!!
CHAPTER 1- THE BEACH
One time I went to myrtle beach with my family, and on the very first day, I kid you not, I got sunburnt. I was then miserable the rest of the time.
CHAPTER 2- THE BEACH
On another trip to the beach, I was playing in the water and got stung by a Jellyfish.
Seriously.
That was 3? 4? years ago?
They still make fun of me like it was yesterday.
CHAPTER 3- ARIZONA
One time I went to arizona. The end.
One time I went to Arizona and got a canker sore and coulden't eat without immense pain.
I don't understand this insanity.
Please help.

I CAN'T SEEM TO SURVIVE ANYTHING!
In the words of Flynn Rider, "This is the story..of how my life ended."
THE TIME I BARELY SURVIVED--------------------------
---------------------------MY OWN TOASTER!
Again, the world seems to be out to get me!
Who gets attacked by nuclear-level mutant toasters?!
Oh no. Uh...I forgot my cover story...Ahem...
Forget what I said about mutant toasters. Those ten-year-olds sure overthink things, don't they?
Anyway, it was a normal day (except for burning myself) and I was in the kitchen,
making myself some shrimp cocktail. Oh, uh, I mean, toast. Now look what you did, you went and made me hungry you villain!
Anyway, making myself some toast when the toaster tipped over and burnt my
thumb off.
Well, my thumb is still here, but let's be metaphorical here.
I know that's a big word-5 syllables!
Basically, you don't know how much it hurt, so you CAN'T SAY MY THUMB DIDN'T BURN OFF!!!
It was a 2nd degree burn, if you think I'm working myself up. Had a blister to prove it.
It was the day after I went to CubScout Daycamp, which was like summer camp, but only from 9:00 to like 12:00 and for 3 days, and we learned about burns.
Ironic, isn't it?
First degree is just a minor burn, maybe some red skin.
Second degree is a blister. Ouch.
Third degree is black ski-
BE FLAYED ALIVE!!! MWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!
-n, which is very serious and you want to get to get to the E.R.
Anyway, I'll need to pull a Darth Sideus and get a bunch of sharp-looking
personal guards.
