My sons went to Ireland recently on vacation. The family they were staying will welcomed them with a banner with their names, and a picture of a dog. When I asked why a dog was on the banner, they said the kids found out they were from Kentucky. Apparently, somebody did some research and found there is a town in Kentucky with a dog for a mayor. Yes, it’s true! It is not the town where my sons live, but a town called Rabbit Hash. I have never been there, despite living in Kentucky for 10 years before moving back to Ohio in 2008. I’d like to go soon. Maybe I could get an interview.

They also told me about their adventures with frogs.  The kids in the family taught them how to catch frogs, and they brought some home in a bucket of water. After the couple days of studying them (I’m told they were treated well and not harmed), they were going to take them back to the pond to release them. Unfortunately, Jay, the family’s dog, wanted to play with the frogs. When one jumped out of the bucket, the dog bit the leg off one and it passed away. The kids felt so bad about this they buried the frog with a small stone that read “Frog.”

My son recently declared he is “100% evil.”  I don’t know where he got this, but the math doesn’t really add up.  If he were 100% evil, that would mean I, as his mother, was 50% evil at the most.  Depending on who you ask, this is not true – I’m either way under or way over the limit.  His dad, then, would have to be 50% evil or more.  I won’t comment on that part of the equation.  So, it’s safe to say that, in all liklihood, he’s exaggerating.

That night, I turned on the TV, hoping to be distracted from my aching body, fever, and churning stomach.  The movie that was on was The Omen (2006).

The movie gods have to be laughing hysterically!
