Christmas is coming!

This may make some of you sick but the holidays are fast approaching... & I'm really looking forward to it.

I know exactly what I'm getting Mark & I believe my family (besides the kids) are doing gag/tiny gift game under $10. I have been picking things up as I see them for Winston, Dalia & Maddy; otherwise, they are fun & easy to shop for!

I did buy a book called, Why Don't Your Eyelashes Grow? by Beth Ann Ditkoff. I was planning on giving it to Winston because I know he is going to ask all sorts of crazy questions but I might either give it to Robert or save it! Some of the following questions are in the book: why is poop brown, what happens when you swallow gum, why do farts smell, why are bruises black & blue???

I've read a quite a bit tonight & really learning a lot.
Here are a few interesting facts:
  • There is no scientific evidence that going outside in the snowstorm without a coat will cause a cold but it can lower your immune system
  • If you chew and swallow a lot of gum it can create a sticky wad in your stomach - this can cause surgery
  • on average, people fart 13 times a day
  • If you never brushed your hair it can get very knotty and matted together to form dreadlocks
  • bedbugs are small (one quarter inch) oval brownish insects

If you have questions - I just may be able to answer them - scientifically!

Love you.
