These answers are TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE... I have a feeling 1st Graders didn't give these answers...

Well, the article came from a local publication that has a circulation rivaling The DogPatch Daily Press. :lol:

Maybe they are trying to reach triple digits in readership. :wink:

:wink: More than likely, I, too, suspect they are "too good to be true," but hey, brings a REAL smile, and what a sense of humor from someone who appears to be able to take themselves back to being six!! :wink:

Kids, there's nothing like them. One of my favorite kid stories is one my Bride tells about a 5 year old who was playing with several slugs (the State Bird of WA) on the back deck of their house. His mom stepped out of the house and said, "Dan! Stop playing with those things - they're yucky!" In all his wide eyed innocence Dan looked up and replied, "But mommy, dey not yucky to me."

Maybe we would be better off with a few more Dans in the world.

Yes!! Here's to MORE "Dan's" -- who knows, perhaps, there are more of them than we realize -- just waiting offstage for their cues, just watching and listening intently for the Voice of Reason to reappear.

Let's not forget the 'Danielles', :mrgreen: :thumbup:

My word!! What "was" I thinking??!!?? :lol: :lol: Yes, those Danielle's, equally important. A village of Dan's while impressive, would not be complete, now would it, without Danielles to make a lovely blending of melody and harmony!!

slatten49 Loc: Lake Whitney, Texas

That's what I was thinking! :wink:

Aah, yes....Danielle, Melody and Harmony were sweethearts, indeed. :mrgreen:
