Well, I guess compared to Pharaoh, those sandals *do* look like flip-flops.
2. You eat a Hoodsie cup with a “tongue depressor”.
If you aren't from New England, you might not know what a Hoodsie is, but "tongue depressor" seems legit.
3. When you turn 13 and you are Jewish you have a “barf-mitzvah”.
Why would anyone want this? I thought this was a barf-o-rama (see the film Stand By Me - here's a short clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zK0JaEde4VI - exercise caution if you have a weak stomach).
4. Yogurt isn’t food!
Really? It seems so popular. I mean, who wouldn't want this? I like yogurt, but I like it plain - not that multi-colored junk that is out there these days.
5. You can learn everything important about life by watching Spongebob Squarepants.
There it is - the truth shall set you free!
6. When I’m stressed, I get “angry sores” in my mouth.
 |
| Ouch! |
Yeah, I guess those would make me kind of angry.
7. When you die, the death fairy comes and takes you to heaven.

That "death fairy" is such a nice guy! He took our hamster to hamster heaven and our rat to rat heaven. At least, I hope he did.
8. 180 x 180 = 32,400
This came up in an argument about "who knew what". My youngest said, :"Oh yeah, well I know what 180 x 180 is! 32, 400!" We were like: "How do you know that?" The answer made us laugh: "I put it in the calculator and memorized it!"
9. The Uvula is an unnecessary and terrifying body part
My son once freaked out while watching an episode of The Magic Schoolbus - they drove the bus into a child's mouth to investigate the the uvula. He was watching on a portable DVD player in the backseat of the car, and he asked us for mirror. The next thing we knew, he was in a panic, and was asking us to cut his uvula out. We had to pull over to the side of the road to calm him down. He was terrified and wanted nothing to do with it.
10. Beetles give each other "piggy-back rides"
We had the pleasure of witnessing this on vacation one year. At first, our youngest said: "Hey, these beetles are lining up!" After another minute, he said that one beetle was giving the other a piggy-back ride. I wonder what the beetles thought about their audience of giants. On that vacation, I kept asking my wife if she wanted to "line up".
And, on that note...
I hope everyone can be involved in a piggy back ride!
Have any interesting things you have learned from your children? Feel free to comment!
