Will Obama call me a jackass? Am I a jackass?)<\/p>\n<p>First up is that it is Book Fair at SuperPizzaBoy&#8217;s school and Wednesday was Donuts for Dads. So SPB and I loaded up and got to school early. You see, he thinks a corollary to Donuts for Dads is Donuts for the kids also.<\/p>\n<p>Oops, somebody dropped the ball. No donuts. Uh oh. SPB starts to talk about it. Mrs. Denise, the Head of the Lower School, tells him that she scrounged up some muffins and he should grab one and pretend that it is donut. That didn&#8217;t go over very well and so SPB starts yakking about it. Mrs. Denise takes pride in the fact that they never tell the kids to shut up. Its true, they don&#8217;t. The kids are liable to say anything, at anytime. <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, he managed to shake it off and pick out a few books. I got some also. I love Book Fair.<\/p>\n<p>First up, for&nbsp;early readers is &#8220;Dirt on My Shirt&#8221; a book of poems by Jeff Foxworthy. I love poems, I don&#8217;t get&nbsp; most adult poems so I read kid poems. More my level if you know what I mean. Here is the poem that moved me to buy the book; it reminded me of geocaching!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dirt on My Shirt&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s dirt on my shirt<br \/>And leaves on my hair<br \/>There&#8217;s mud on my boots<br \/>But I don&#8217;t really care<br \/>Playing outside is so much fun<br \/>To breathe the clean air<br \/>And feel the warm sun<br \/>To stomp in a puddle<br \/>Or climb a big tree<br \/>Makes me quite happy<br \/>Just look and you&#8217;ll see<\/p>\n<p>I got a buzz from just typing it in.<\/p>\n<p>And then I got a book for preteen girls, &#8220;the Ultimate coke or pepsi&#8221;. Its a questions book, for me and my friends. Are you my friend? Then answer me this.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Would you rather:&nbsp;&nbsp; Glow in the Dark? ___ or Shimmer in the Daylight? ___ <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Personally I think the shimmering thing would be very cool.<\/p>\n<p>And then I got a book for preteen boys, &#8220;Dude &#8211; The Book of Crazy, Immature Stuff&#8221; Answer me this:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Which is more disgusting:&nbsp;&nbsp; Nose Picker?____ or Scab Picker? ____<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Nose picking is more disgusting by a mile! to me.<\/p>\n<p>Next, &#8220;The Encyclopedia of Immaturity &#8211; How to Never Grow Up, the Complete Guide&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sweetie thinks that I could have written the book. Maybe I did!
