SkyMall and Me
Last week I got the privilege of sitting in a plane and reading one of my favorite magazines – SkyMall! I wonder who comes up with these ideas, gifts and products. Some look to me the thought of great minds with clear benefits to society, but others make me worry. Many of the products leave me laughing out loud. Take a moment see some of my favorite products from this trip.
An Indoor Grass Mat for your dog to go to the bathroom on, even equipped with a scented Fire Hydrant. My question is “What does the fire hydrant smell like?”
For those lacking hair, you have use this special cream that helps your hair to turn into a hedge line. Notice how even your hair can grow hair! Imagine having to comb your hair’s hair! Welcome Mr. Hedge Head!
Finally, a diet I have been looking for. The problem is I have been on this diet for years and nothing is happening!
For those with yard gnomes, you need something to at least carry them off to alien land.
Here are some fake security cameras for people with fake burglars.
Last but not least, potty training material for your cat. Now is this really necessary? (Not the material, but the cat. Are cats really necessary?)
Anyway, there are some of my favorite pictures from SkyMall magazine. I will write more about my trip tomorrow with some more pictures.
Just some thoughts,

Smart Like a Girl
Today’s Gallagher Adventure post (http://www.gallaghersonline.com) brought back an enjoyable memory of the mind of Alexis. Alexis was about three years old when she came sprinting into our the living room of our West Virginia home and exclaimed she had a paper cut on her finger. So, it became daddy to the rescue time!
As I was putting a band-aid on her finger, I cut off the ends of the band-aid so they would not wrapped around her finger and touch the cut. When I cut the band-aid, I cut too much off of the side. As I looked around for the extra pieces that I had just cut off I could not find them. I scoured the bathroom looking for those two small pieces. I even walked in the kitchen looking for them, I figured they spouted legs and walked off.
When I came back in the bathroom, Alexis was sitting there smiling and said, “Dad, the pieces of band-aid are on the door behind you.” Sure enough, there they were. I could not resist but say, “That is awesome; for a girl you are really smart.” I joked with her a little more about being smart for a girl, then I figured enough was enough so I quit.
I quit only to hear in the most sincere voice, my three year old daughter say, “Dad, one day you might go up to be smart as a girl too!”
With that phrase, laughter rang throughout our house!
Just a memory,
Chris
Monday Morning Blues – For the Grandparents
This article crossed my desk this past week after years of being filed away. Every word brings me laughter when I think that one day my grandchildren might say this about me. The words of a child are water to the thirsty soul.
As the story goes, a teacher once asked her students how they spent their vacation. One child wrote the following…
We always used to spend the holidays with Grandma and Grandpa. They used to live in a big brick house, but
Grandpa got retarded and they moved to Arizona.
Now they live in a condo and have rocks painted green to look like grass. They ride around on their golf cart and wear name tags because they don’t know who they are anymore. They go to a building called a wrecked center, but they must have got it fixed because it is all okay now. They play games and do exercises there, but they don’t do them very well. There is a swimming pool too, but they all jump in with their hats on while they talk to each other. I guess they don’t know how to swim.
At their gate, there is a dollhouse with a little old man sitting in it. He watches all day so nobody can escape. Sometimes they sneak out. They go cruising in their golf carts.
Nobody there cooks, they just eat out. And, they eat the same thing every night… early birds.
Some of the people can’t get out past the man in the dollhouse. The ones who do get out, bring food back to the wrecked center and call it pot luck.
My Grandma says that Grandpa worked all his life to earn his retardment and says I should work hard so I can be retarded someday too. When I earn my retardment, I want to be the man in the dollhouse.
Then I will let people out so they can visit their grandchildren!!!

Oh, the life of grandparents through the eyes of a child.
I hope you enjoyed.

Enjoy
