Friday’s Read it or Rant: Incomplete

April 11th, 2008

A few of the things I have done today other than write a review of the Grapes of Wrath:

  • opened all my windows,
  • flew a kite,
  • taught The son how to climb the wobbly ladder at the park,
  • laundry,
  • watched The Son eat powdered parmesan cheese and crushed ice for lunch (though served something much tastier and slightly more nutritious), and
  • took a nursey-nap

Despite set backs, I actually did finish reading the Grapes this week. It just turns out that writing this review is a little more time consuming than others I have done. I will try to get it posted this weekend, my apologies for the tardiness. In the mean time, A GUEST REVIEWER!!

“Son, hey! Hey, hold still a minute! Tell me about what book you are reading right now!”

“Boouck?”

“Yes, book. Hey, come back here! ”

(He returns with Monday the BullFrog, and plops himself in my lap.)

“BOOOCK! BOOOCK!”

“Okay, we can read Monday again.”

(reads Monday the BullFrog for the twelve hundredth time this week.)

“So what did you think?”

“aapergthableph! Boouck, rempick, clemgfghff. Appy.”

“ooookay. Um, what about the plot? The characters? The syntax?”

“Nack?”

“No, not snack. SYNTAX.”

“Nack! PAPLE!”

“Okay, we will have an apple after you finish your review.”

“NOOOOO! PAPLE! PAPLE! OOkie?”

“Good enough.”

(hands The Son some dried apple slices and a Tagalong)

    y’all make sure you click the tagalong link! It has a history of the girl scout cookie. Okay, back to not writing about the Grapes of Wrath.

    so, sad I didn’t get any girl scout cookies this year. This is the first time in a long time. I can’t remember another year when I didn’t have at least a few girl scout cookies. Well, I didn’t need them anyway.

    Thanks for the review, if we ever have #3, then I will be sure to pick it up.

    Isn’t a tagalong the peanut butter and chocolate one? I thought he couldn’t have peanut butter yet. Does that mean I can make him a peanut butter and honey sandwich?

    Glad he likes Monday the Bullfrog. I do too.

    <p><p>You are right Grammy! He had a Trefoil (? I think) instead, ya know the one like the lady’s head. No nuts or shellfish for another year and almost half. Sorry.

    Trefoils have the trefoil on ‘em. You know, the GS logo with three girls.

    Dude, I want some girl scout cookies now.
