...I'd still hire someone to build my house.
***WAIT - DON'T FORGET TO ENTER THE EXCITING OSCAR SCHMOSCAR...GIMME A BOOK! CONTEST***
***DEADLINE IS FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 29 AT NOON***
It was with great excitement that I sent the following to my parents, my sister and several friends:
The house moving thing fell through. The guy kept missing deadlines and we got our permit, so we had to move forward. Dad...what is this machine called? I was calling it the big swiveling thingy with the claws. I'm thinking that's not the technical term.
My friend Marcy, who should TOTALLY have her own blog replied:
I am surprised that you, the most well read person I know, did not know the name of that thing...From the famous author, P. D. Eastman best known for his contributions to the Cat in the Hat series, namely "Are You My Mother?" I believe the baby bird refers to that large piece of equipment as a "SNORT" !!
As Marcy would say if she was on the receiving end of her e-mail, "I almost peed my pants!" How could I have forgotten this literary classic??? And how did Marcy remember? She's my age....her brain cells should be as disabled as mine!
And now for the REALLY weird thing....when I Googled, "snort are you my mother," my picture came up as one of the images!!!!
