I know an old lady who swallowed a fly



Wait, that old lady was me the last 2 days. I love the trail I run on, but so do the bugs these days! I have had bugs in every orifice on my face. I've gotten bugs in my eyes, up my nose, and worst in my throat (I inhaled it and couldn't get it out). It puts a real hitch in my giddy up. I basically have to run with my eyes closed, head down, and breath carefully out of the side of my mouth in certain spots of my runs. Stupid gnats, go away and fly into the creek or something more productive. The creek likes you much more than I do (wink, wink).
Total change of subject. I teach the sunbeams at church (3-4 year olds) and they are the cutest kids. i love this age. I have 1 little boy who has a bit of a crayon eating problem. He will eat the very tip off of every crayon he uses. I asked him why he did that and he simply says, "Because I'm still hungry" (Note: I had just given them cookies to eat). We had a little chat and I explained that not only is it icky, but it ruins the crayons and nobody can color with it after the top has been removed. He was actually quite receptive and promised he would not eat them anymore. He was very good for about 2 months and then on Sunday, he caved! He comes up to me to put his crayon away and says, "Teacher, someone ate my crayon". I look at him at see all these little blue, waxy fragments in his mouth and on his lips. I told him, "It looks like that someone is you". He kept denying it, and I told him I could see it in his mouth. It was so funny! I love that kid. What a sneaky little guy.

HaHa, that's great. Little kids are so funny. I had a little girl in Primary who was in the class above Sunbeams tell me one time, "Purple is my favorite color. Sometimes I like to eat it." What is it about kids eating cranyons? It made us laugh.

Sorry about the bugs! That definitely puts a damper on your run! I used to have the same problem running on the trail down by my parents house! But it was such a good trail! P.S. Your ipod+ is inspiring me...I finally found mine (Travis got it for me a year ago) and I used it on Saturday! Love it!!

Katie that is so funny. I love it when little kids do things like that. I also had to laugh because for some reason the past couple of days I have been singing that fly song to Tyler even though I haven't sung it in years.

I wonder what color the contents of his diaper are. His mom has got to be thinking he is magic or something.

That's awesome! I bet you're the greatest Sunbeam teacher around. Those kids sure are lucky to have you--seriously! Will you come teach Sunbeams in our ward?
