What Is It?

All this time I thought I was doing a pretty good job of parenting. Then...Anna sent me the picture of the "ice scraper" (see previous post). I finally had to admit to myself that I'm iffy at best! I decided to run a test of sorts and see what other things the girls might have missed out on because of my extremely poor parenting. I sent the girls the following pictures asking them to identify each and just as I suspected, they didn't have a clue. I'm sorry girls! I failed you.

1. That's honeysuckle and when the summer time comes and the air is thick with humidity you can smell it a mile away. We used to climb over the neighbors fence to get at this huge honeysuckle bush. Then we'd pull off the biggest flower we could find and pinch off the bottom so we could suck the tiniest bit of sweet nectar that came out!

2. Lightning bugs (Fireflys) possibly one of the best things about summer. We'd chase them around the yard and then catch them in a jar where we'd watch them light up before we'd let them go again.

3. That's a rake! There was nothing like raking leaves into a big pile and then jumping right into the middle of them.

4. Panty Hose- Those are evil...Trust me I did you a favor by not making you wear those!

5. Living in the desert you never got the thrill of waking up in the morning to hear the tv reporter say that your district was closed for a snow day! On the other hand you didn't have to deal with below freezing temps, putting on 7 layers of clothes just to go outside, shoveling the driveway so you could get the car out or having to scrape the ice off your car window.
