At church today when a speaker was talking about emergency preparedness, he said, “The price of staples could suddenly triple,” and I honestly sat there thinking how easy it would be to acquire enough to keep a stapler fully loaded for a very long time. And wondering how he came to choose that rather strange and trivial example of a shortage.
My other exciting moment at church today was when Hazel’s mouth came in contact with my eye and left such a copious amount of spittle that when I wiped it off with a tissue, most of my mascara came off too.


hahaha, your illustrations should win some sort of award.
LOVE that photoshopping.
hello droll. goodbye gums. hello teeth. goodbye breastfeeding.
make that “drool”. maybe I should consider sleeping at night too. I’ll tell Ethan to hurry up and get his stupid molars.
Again, I applaud your photoshopping skilz.
I loved the staples quote because I was thinking of staples that hold your paper together too and totally not thinking of flour/sugar/rice staples. And I love the illustrations too, I have no idea how to do that.
The goldfish makes it.
And the easy button is a brilliant touch.
Thank you for the diagram. It was very informative.
(And yes, clearly you should be winning some prizes.)
