Alphabet Laughs-E Is For Eggs, Energy And Exciting News

Ready?
Ready Eddy?
No other Eddies
will be mentioned in
this post...so.....
Here we go...

E
is for EGGS.
click on pic to see more eggs funnies
When they tested my son
at age 4 to see if he
was gifted
they asked him how
many eggs in a dozen.
He said 12 but
went on to say that you 
could buy them in a box
of EIGHTEEN so that
was 6 more than a dozen.
(He was used to riding along
in the cart as I shopped for
our family of six-make that 7-
my mother was living with us then).
He also said half of 8 was
three.
I liketa died.
Guess what?
Gifted kids visually divide
numbers in half..
so eight (to most gifted kids)
is either 3 or 0.....who knew?

E
is also for Energy.
Some days I feel 
like I am the
Energizer Bunny.
I am thinking of ordering
myself this-

A BUNNY COSTUME-
just so MyHero
will know how much I 
do around here.

He thinks all I do is sit 
and blog-
Who the heck 
does he think
cleans the house
does all the laundry,
cooks,
 cleans his sink, AND
does the yard work?

Of course he would much
prefer THIS kind of
Bunny Costume.

Ha!  Like THAT is gonna happen.

  4. When I was a little girl, probably around 4 or 5, I was really into glamour and make-up and told my mother I wanted to be a swimsuit bunny for Halloween. Of course, I didn't know what it was, and of course, my mother said no. I was inspired by Wilma Flintstone b/c she and Betty had donned bunny outfits in a beauty contest where Fred and Barney were judges. Tee hee! I am not so into style anymore. In fact, you'll find me all summer long without any make-up on at all. Excited for your giveaway, congratulations on reaching 500!!! Wow! It'll take me another year to even think about that fare ahead.

  17. Great accomplishment, Diana! Congratulations on 500+ followers!

    Loved the story about dividing the 8. Our daughter asked us, just to be sure she had the correct answer, how far it was from one coast to the other on the day she had her gifted test. She was very relieved when she heard she had correctly chosen the answer.:)

    Can't wait until G Day!

  21. Congrats on 500+ followers! You certainly deserve it for all your fun posts and wonderful commenting that you do on other's blogs! That egg photo is super cute. I would cause gagging and not drooling in the Playboy bunny costume (and I don't deserve the Energizer bunny costume...I'm too lazy).

    ReplyDelete
  22. Congrats, D!
    And I'd prefer the footy pajama version of the bunny suit...I think it's sexier. xxx,T.

  23. Congrats on 500. That is wonderful. I love your pictures. I don't know who you find them all - and still do all that other stuff in your list. Two funny things - I was going to guess "P" for prize, Duh. Also, on a football blog I read, one of the fans was laughing at being called a "loon" by another commenter. Then you used that same word today. hehehe

    ReplyDelete
  24. Oh, and I love the story about your son's gifted test. As a teacher, I had actually heard that about the number 8, but of course, I'd forgotten it.

    ReplyDelete

  30. With the heat of the summer, you might want to reconsider wearing the stapless bunny costume. Much cooler, and it frees you up for all that vacuuming and dusting.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Hahaha!!! You are so cute! Just go ahead and get that second bunny costume for your Hero ... what could it hurt. ;)

    You're a hot blond too!

  41. I wasn't a gifted kid and I guess not a gifted adult either. I had to really think about the 1/2 of 8 thing. So it's either a 3 and a backwards 3 or two zero's stacked on top of each other. That took me about 20 minutes to figure out??

    Happy to be one of your 500 crazies!!

    ReplyDelete
  42. I can't quit laughing. This was the funniest post I have read in along time. Loved the egg story.

  49. Congratulations! 507 when I looked. Hitting 500 is kind of a milestone. :)

  58. Good gravy girl! You are so loved! My father was Edward or Ed and I so love the name! I wrote an Alphabe Thursday post about Edward once. One gal said she nearly did not stop by thinking it was the Vampire guy! There is a gal at Face Book who has a daughter who has a cat named Bacon and just got a new kitten called Eggs! HaHa! That Eggs is great! Love all your thoughts!
