Never a good sign...

The following mental "snapshots" are NEVER a good sign of things to come. If you see these things happening around you, ALWAYS investigate, DO NOT HESITATE, disaster won't wait...

1. Back porch, blonde boy, naked, wood pile, hammer, running...
2. Large tree, begging, legs straddling a large branch just in eyesight, shoelaces knotted together on underside of branch...
3. Quiet house, brother's toothbrush, new bottle of hand soap, toilet...
4. Bubble gum, automatic car window, control button moving up and down, open mouth, blonde bangs...
5. Mud filled garden hose, older brother, HOT July afternoon...
6. Rubber spider from Chuck E. Cheese, Alfredo sauce, leaf separation spot in dining room table...

The bee's ears. (NOT to be confused with The bee's knees)

This morning's breakfast table:

Sam: "Mom, you can make candles out of bee's earwax, but how do you make it from people's earwax?"

Mom: (snickering quietly) "Sam, how do you think they get the earwax from the bees to make the candles?"

Sam: "A LOT of bee's ears."
