Pinny has the power to make kindergarteners and most adults lose their shit!

Yesterday, I did my weekly volunteer at the kindergarten class that one of my moms is a teacher of. I usually go there to help with grading papers, organizing handouts and playing games with them. However, this week was the week that they read "The Mitten" by Jan Brett. The story is about a kid who drops their mitten in the snow and then all these animals crawl in because they want to stay warm. The animals start small and then end up getting bigger and bigger until eventually a bear crawls in. One of the animals in the story is a hedgehog.

This author actually has a hedgehog in every story she writes and illustrates, be it a character or as part of the motif, which leads me to believe that she owns a hedgehog. If that is the case.. then we kinda like twins because she is also a girl, who is a Sagittarius and would own a hedgehog. Anywho.. I took Pinny in to meet the class and he became and instant celebrity. He also, got super angry at me and bit me 12 times. He however was a good sport about it for most of the time and is only slightly mad at me today. He is a good boy, I am glad that I took him to work all of the times when he was little hedge so that he got some socialization.

It is funny the reaction some kids had to him. I was informed by one girl that, " I will have a hedgehog when I am an adult, because you told me that he sleeps during the day and plays at night.. and I will work during the day and then want a hug at night." That is some perfectly sound logic on her part. There was another kid who let me know that, " Having a pet is dumb and that all they do is poop." I guess their parents are assholes!

So that was that. I am now going to post a picture of what it looks like to wake a hedgehog up at 630 in the morning.

He was huffeling all the time. It was very very scary busy for him.

I really love Richard Cheese, so I am really hoping that this is just a joke to sell, his "My Mommy *hearts* Dick" Tshirts.

Even though I am not a big fan of Sleater-Kinney due to being raised in Olympia, I do find that Portlandia is an awesome example of you have to live here to get it humor. I don't live in Portland, I do live in Seattle, but I do spend and have spent A LOT of time in Portland, and this show is spot on. I will be in Portland with the Jenny for our 4th annual Anne and Jenny Steak and Stripper-athon next week. It will be sweet! Super Sweet!

I saw the "King's Speech" the other night and Helena Bonham Carter was amazing in it. I would also like to point out that it was a good Bromance movie, not as good as "I love you man!" but as a historical Bromance movies, this one is pretty need. Anyway, Ms. Tim Burton, would like you to not fuck with your face.

Speaking of your face.. this is a creepy robot that scans your face and then tells you what to put into your face. :(

This is a robot that is learning how to "walk" the way humans do.. cool!

Oh Shit! You mean, I could have been the heir to a clothing empire had my grandma patented sewing a few extra buttons in the boob areas of her button down blouses!? Darn you Granny! * shakes fist angrily!

Have a good day kids!
