We went to the Beane Museum the other day and in the gift shop he found some dried, dehydrated seahorse skeletal something for 50 cents and went crazy over it. We splurged on not only the dehydrated seahorse but I bought him a glass tube to put it in. As we climbed in the car with him clutching his 50 cent prize, I heard him sigh in the backseat with the comment, "WOW. I finally got my seahorse." I felt stunned that it had all been so easy.<BR/><BR/>I wouldn't recommend a dehydrated rat skeleton.

Teach me how to get your kids to choose going to a movie with their family over a friends party. . . that's my dream. <BR/><BR/>As for pets: mice don't do anything. My brother had a rat, Floyd (as in Pink) for years who became part of the family. He was very tame--he let him run loose in his room he'd never run away, and he'd crawl from his pocket to the top of his head while he was on the computer. . . okay, it was kinda gross, but my point is the rat was way cooler than the mice.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01246546379295509018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597252.post-1121808354913667392005-07-19T15:25:00.000-06:002005-07-19T15:25:00.000-06:00Gene DEFINITELY has fancier hair than "I-have-dadd...Gene DEFINITELY has fancier hair than "I-have-daddy-issues" Johnny.<BR/><BR/>I think that Sam is the luckiest boy in the whole entire world.
