I'd have bought these as a Christmas gift, if I'd been aware of their existence.
Screw all this 'Phonics' crap, we're using slang flashcards with our kindergartener.
Take a closer look here:
Uhm, Beerzie, when you come back, you'll want to look at these for additions to the list.

Because I think the book is great and the video is even better with wonderful calming images and lovely music that makes me weep right down to my core. If I thought everyone would appreciate it as much as I do, I would buy if for every single person on my list....twice.
My Nicer Funnier Sister in Law has a vast collection of Sea Glass. She started collecting it here, on Lake Erie, where she theorizes the people of Ohio drink a lot of beer and throw the empty bottles in the lake and they wash up in Canada. Ohio, why must we be so unkind to Canada?
Every single piece of this glass has a story...and my sister in law will tell you their stories, all of them. She has a few favorites, things shaped like someone or something.
She will argue vehemently about the value of this collection. But you will never find her selling it.
When she learned you can just buy it in bulk...she was kind of upset. Mass produced beach glass? She said. What's next? Cloning chickens!?
So, my next 'Gifts I Would Have Bought' entry involves what I would have bought my Sister In Law if I was willing to take a joke to the very highest level.
I'd have ordered this and this to make a complete set.
Then, since I'm going for maximum impact...I'd also buy this and this so she'd have a matching set.
So far, my imaginary Christmas is so much more funny than my real one.
For the rest of the month I will be revealing the really awesome gifts I might have bought if I had lot of money.
Tonight I bring you this. Found via Bust
I would totally have bought this for Pants, not for our bedroom...for his brand new office.
If I had a lot of money, I might even buy it for my Uncle Jesse....just so I could see his face when he opened it.
