Writing Wrongs

The dancing penguin did her dance. She only missed a few steps. She had a great time being on stage, and wearing makeup (eye shadow, �makeup cheeks� aka blush, and lipstick), and hairspray. Someone likes hairspray because it makes her hair �still.�



The dancing penguin and her brother

The day took its emotional toll, however. Between the dress rehearsal and the show, I was walking around in a daze. The kids started to squabble and I heard a lot of:


�Bully!�
�No, you the bully.�
�You.�
�You were the bully first.�
�Well, you were the bully back.�

And so on. I put them in separate rooms for a while.



I ask you. Is this the face of a bully?

Then, magically, they got back together on a shared mission to find a secret passage in our house. Our house was built circa 1988. Sadly, there is nothing secret about the 80s, and their disappointed was assured.

But at least they weren�t fighting.

Now, does anyone know of any practical uses for a penguin costume?
