Fun Friday: What the heck is Trumpy Bear?

I was falling asleep in front of my TV a few nights ago when I saw something that made me question if I was awake or having a very odd dream. It was a "Trumpy Bear" sitting atop a motorcycle, and a voice like gravy dripping with the American South was talking about how much I would love to have my own Trumpy Bear. The teddy bear with its dark coat of fur and it's sad orange hair bore an unmistakable resemblance to none other than President Donald Trump. When I woke up and recalled this strange dreamlike memory, I got on my laptop to look up "Trumpy Bear" on google and found much to my amusement and dismay that it was real. Apparently, I'm a little late to learn of this news, because the product has been out for some time, but I still find it hilarious, and I wanted to share the laugh with you.

Fun Friday: A Poem for Potties

If you spend enough time around children, you will find that they have an affinity for jokes and words related to the potty. This little affinity is so widespread that we have taught the children a term for it - bathroom humor - and we have taught them that it is not allowed. As a general rule, I am not a fan of bathroom humor, but every now and then I must admit to the comedic value of the right toilet joke. Today, I share with you the most near-elegant and successful attempt at Bathroom humor, a poem entitled Ode to Tiolet, by my 16-year-old brother, Isaiah.

Ode to Toilet

by Isaiah Georges

Oh toilet.
You are my rock.
You are the stool on which I may release my stool.
When I need rest it is to the restroom I come running.
For in this room which some find insignificant,
I find a home, a place of refuge,
a place where I am free of all my worries.
As I drop my poop I find comfort from a poopy day.
Even when someone lays waste to my life,
I know I can still lay my waste in you.
So toilet, I write this ode to you
to show my appreciation
for the strength you allow me to retain
and the appetite you allow me to regain.
Though I may not say it enough,
I now say it proud and say it loud.
I love you toilet.

Fun Friday: Mommy, Daddy, Baby Dance

A little sweetness to kick off your Friday. I am now convinced that every baby should enter their first days dancing.


"The 24th of February we posted a video dancing, just for fun. It became viral around the all world. We are so grateful for having all of you following the last part of my pregnancy, and our life with Alexandra. Her FIRST DANCE is dedicated to all of YOU."
