Cat math

Mommy's nephew is in the 3rd grade.  He was working on math homework.  He is learning about fractions.  There was a word problem that went like this...

If a cat sleeps two thirds of a day and a human sleeps one third of a day, who sleeps longer?

Now we arent cats or anything, but we think something sounds fishy about this problem.

Maybe cats and dogs are similar in that it may LOOK like we are sleeping, butt in actuality we are WORKING hard undercover, pretending like we are sleeping.

I think someone needs to complain to the board of education about this word problem.

It is giving pets a bad reputation about sleeping all day.

Does this math problem sound fishy to anyone else?



In other news, the mailbox plaques are still guarding their post.  Even during a lite snow flurry, they guarded their mailbox.  Kudos to them.

The Shelties and the Mailbox

We are joining in Shiloh 'n Shasta's Once Upon a Time Fairy Tale Day in Blogville.


Once Upon a Time...

In a Faraway Land called "Blogville" there was a Kingdom that belonged to two sensational, fabulous, pawsome, fantastic, handsome, bachelor brother Shelties named Lassiter Chase and Benjamin (aka Lassie and Benji.)


One day all seemed peaceful in the land until a big thump was heard outside the castle.


Lassie and Benji went into full alert mode and took watch.

About 87 minutes later, Lassie and Benji went to investigate the noise they heard.  That's when they noticed their mailbox was missing! 


Well it wasn't really missing.  The mailbox was damaged beyond repair. All that was left in the ground was the broken wooden pole that held up the mailbox.


 
The mailbox was thrown next to the wingless penguin Christmas Decoration.  Lassie and Benji tried asking the penguin what happened to the mailbox, but not a peep was told from the penguin. 
 
 
Next, Lassie and Benji tried asking other yard ornaments what happened to the mailbox.  All Grumpy could say was that he was knocked to the ground and he wasn't happy about it, at all.
 
Snow White said she was threatened to keep silent about what happened to the mailbox and was stuck holding a poisoned apple!
 

Benji decided to dress up like Snow White. 
 
 
As Lassie was busy yapping at Benji to stop fooling around and get changed out of that Snow White Costume, there were some weird sounds coming from outside.  Lassie and Benji overheard a conversation going on outside.  There were several voices and they were all congratulating one another for knocking down the mailbox.  They admitted they knocked down the mailbox because they KNEW that is where the BLOGVILLE CHRISTMAS CARDS are stored when they arrive at the castle for Lassie and Benji.   Whoever they were outside, must not have known Lassie and Benji were listening to their conversation. 



 
Lassie and Benji immediately grabbed their magic kits and snuck around out back to see who sabotaged their Blogville Christmas Cards Mailbox!
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
Lo and Behold. 
 
Look who they saw when they went outside.
 
Congratulating one another....
 
And re-enacting out the scene of the crime....
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Ninja Gingerbread Men Were the Ones Who Knocked Down the Mailbox!
 
 
 
Lassie and Benji took their Magic Kits and said the magic words "Yappity Zappity, Take That You Gingerbread Snaps, Yap."
 
 
 
 
 
And instantaneously the Evil Ninja Gingerbread Men were transformed into ingredients used for a  Pastries puzzle.  
 
 
The Evil Ninja Gingerbread Men will no longer be able to sabotage a mailbox of any other members of Blogville again!
 
 


 In appreciating for their "Heroic Bravery" Plaques of Honor are being created for Lassie and Benji.


The New Mailbox


The moral of the story -- Don't mess with Blogville and their Christmas Cards!

And everyone in Blogville lived Happily Ever After.


The End
