Famed explore Elspeth "Larry the Cucumber" Paige (photographed here discovering her left foot, which she calls "Town") recently woke from a nap with a volcano in her room. The threatening volcano moved to the living room of Subaru house where she spent much of her day worrying.
Recognizing that nightmares where imminent, Elpeth's right hand man, Mommy, called famed volcano experts (photograph below - press archives) Mamgu and Dactu Henn regarding the best way to eradicate volcanoes from the living room.
Without hesitation, Dactu stepped up to the plate with the little known fact that volcanoes are afraid of chickens and we need only cluck to scare it away. Dactu's intention to make Elspeth and Mommy cluck backfired, however, when Elspeth was convinced (by Mommy) that ONLY Mamgu and Dactu could cluck just the right way. Luckily, we have speakerphone, the clucking commenced and we did not have any more volcano troubles (including no more nightmares).
Mommy and Daddy were impressed by Mamgu and Dactu's quick thinking, and relieved not to spend repeated visits to Explorer Elspeth's room throughout the night. Grandma and Grandpa be warned, this morning I heard noise about a caterpillar ravaging Elspeth's room. If your phone should ring, it may be in the call of duty for your Caterpillar eradication expertise. It's a tough job, but some body's got to do it.

Glad it all worked out in the end.
We once had a pack of dogs roaming our house that needed taken care of mind you we only have cats.
You need to come to NC so our girls can drive each other nuts
Thank goodness! After hurricanes hit the Midwest, and the threat of volcanoes, I wouldn't be surprised if I saw a pig flying by.
Melissa, when the flying pigs show up, I'm calling you for help. :)
I love it. Wow, to be a fly on the wall at your house!
By the way, I was at a Christian bookstore today and the cashier asked if I wanted to buy the newest Veggie Tales DVD. (Why do people assume I have kids?!?) After explaining to her that, no, we don't have kids, I told her the story of how girls are cucumbers and boys are tomatoes. She thought that was hilarious. So, Elspeth's wisdom is making news in Chicago! :)
I love it! (Maybe the universe is giving you a hint about children . . .)
If that's the case maybe the universe should buy us a house and complete grad school for Abe! :)
