A Squirmy Were-Cousin

Everyone knows about werewolves. Not as many know there are lesser were-cousins who are still affected by the full moon. In Don't Starve, the game that has taken our household by storm, there are werepigs; vicious creatures that chase you around if you get too close during the full moon.

When I came across this joke, it made me think of the boy.

He may not be as terrifying as his lupine cousins, but this little wereworm is still fierce. Your garden doesn't stand a chance.

Even Donuts Need Dentists

Well, maybe they don't, really. It's not as if they have any teeth. Unless you're eating some sort of donut I have yet to be introduced to. Mine typically can't bite me back. Today's joke makes a case that they might need dentists after all, whether or not teeth are involved.

If all of my fillings were chocolate, I might look this happy while I sat in the dentist's chair too. Mine usually require multiple novocaine injections as they never want to take on the first go round. And they taste infinitely worse than chocolate.

On a side note, and so I don't leave you with horrible memories of the dentist's office, one of the boy's classmates told me that he thinks I draw better than the art teacher. Because of this donut. So that's something.

It's Not as Bad as It Looks

So, my last post was Wednesday. Looks like I really fell of the wagon, right? It's not as bad as it looks. We didn't have school Friday because it's the end of our marking period. That means I really only forgot one post. And I'm going to blame the incredibly busy weekend we've had even though the post should have gone up before the weekend started.

This little bat went to school on Thursday. The boy and I were both still a bit under the weather then. It was a good soup day.

I'm interested to see what he makes of today's joke. Will he understand the fly is French because of the beret? I'm not sure he even knows what a beret is. We'll see how it goes.

Not Going Well

Things are going rather sickly at casa de Gilliam this week. The boy was out of school on Monday because of a bad cough. By yesterday evening, I had the tell tale scratchiness in the back of my throat that warned I would be sick when I woke up this morning. My body did not disappoint. Cue sore throat and runny nose. On top of that, I forgot to post yesterday. On the upside, that means two jokes today.

I thought this joke, and the dino, were both adorable. The boy said he liked the picture but the joke wasn't funny. Maybe today's will go better.

We've been playing a lot of Don't Starve: Shipwrecked while sickness runs its course. There's been map reading and treasure hunting galore. Hopefully the humor of this one will be appreciated more than yesterday's!

A Bit Prickly

When I came across today's joke, it made me think of the boy. I feel like it suits his sense of humor perfectly. We'll see at lunch time if I'm right.

Still Not Enough

We were out of school yesterday day due to snow. We got a light dusting, maybe 1/2 an inch. Not enough to make a snowman, but enough to keep us home for the day.

I thought I'd give the boy some snowmen in his lunch as a consolation, and then remembered today is pancake day at school. The only day the boy ever wants to buy. So, the joke is tucked in with his snack :)

Twofer Tuesday

Looks like I forgot to post on Friday. Whoops. I had the long weekend on my mind. That and Don't Starve. I had a mild addiction to that game and it's eclipsing all other priorities like writing and eating. It's a seriously fun game.

But getting back to the doodles, here's Friday's late post:

The boy loves giraffes, so I thought it would be fun to give that tall guy an umbrella.

I overheard the boy telling a school friend today's joke, but he changed the punch line a bit.

He told his friend the answer was 'sand money.' Guess it's close enough!
