The Queen's Math is much like the Queen's English here in America-- it's been so trodden upon that it doesn't make sense any more. (Sound of English Literature major departing his high horse.) In a lighter vein, the Queen's math are some equations that happen a lot around this little part of America. Some make decent mathematical sense; others not so much-- enjoy!!
A) 1 man listening to Straight No Chaser's cover of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" = 1 blown mind ... sorry to subject you all to what I think is the best acapella act going, but this medley is just crazy!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdmOVf8eam4&feature=related
B) 2 boys trying to do a puzzle = 48 pieces put together in a very short time. Pretty amazing! Actually, make that 47, 46, 43, 41... dammit Judah! Leave the puzzle alone! Yeah, there's really no chance of the puzzle staying together-- I'll get back to you on this one.
C) 20 feet of gutter blown off the house in ice storm last December = 11 months to fix (because, as you know, I'm a carpenter-- and fixing my own house was apparently a really low priority... at least it's finally done!)
D) 4 people congregated to take Christmas pictures = 4 different ways to look at the camera... oh well. I think there's a good picture or two kicking around from that photoshoot ;)
E) 1 candycane = 5.5 gallons of drool... we actually just saved it for his bath later on that week (I'm kidding, folks!)
and for the grand finale, I submit a somewhat more complicated equation....
F) 97 holes in a colander + 1 curtainrod + 2 pacifiers + 1 humidifier + 44 puppies on pajamas + 1 book = 1 sleeping Elijah!
And that's pretty much what it takes to exhaust him to the point of sleep... there have been a couple nights lately where we have had to stay up later than we would otherwise have naturally drifted off to sleep because we live in fear that we will one day wake up at midnight to him stretched out on the couch, watching TV and living it up while we sleep. We'd at least like to postpone that to age 14 or so.
Have a wonderful night!
I won 25 free photo Christmas cards this year - expect to see one soon, heh - and did not even try to get photos done. I have this phobia of family photos since having to do them yearly with us seven children was horrible. My brother Mike would always freak out, even when he was in his teens. The little ones would cry or be staring at who knows what. My dad would be fuming. The people at the Sears would be threatening to quit or commit suicide. All around awful! So I just took pictures I already had and slapped them in a card template. DONE.
