Here are ten things I just didn't know:
-All of the clocks in the movie Pulp Fiction are stuck on 4:20. (I didn't know this, but I bet Jaden did!)
-Charlie Brown's father was a barber. ( Let me tell you, his father didn't make much money on old Charlie's haircuts, wasn't he pretty much bald?)
-Alfred Hitchcock didn't have a belly button. It was eliminated when he was sewn up after surgery. (Now who would have thought something like that could ever happen!)
-Al Capone's business card said he was a used furniture dealer. (What???)
-A pregnant goldfish is called a twit. ( I wonder what a goldfish giving birth calls her babies father, are little goldfish called babies or tadpoles?)
-It was discovered on a space mission that a frog can throw up. The frog throws up it's stomach first, so the stomach is dangling out of it's mouth. Then the frog uses it's forearms to dig out all of the stomach's contents and then swallows the stomach back down again. ( I know, really, really icky, but interesting don't you think)
-A donkey will sink in quicksand but a mule won't. ( Is that where the statement , stubborn as a mule comes from?, notice it didn't say can't but won't!)
-To "testify" was based on men in the Roman court swearing to a statement made by swearing on their testicles. ( I can't even begin to comment on this one, but we all know how important those body parts are to a man. And if you don't know, I would like to know where you have been living all your life.)
-The characters Bert and Ernie on Sesame Street were named after Bert the cop and Ernie the taxi driver in Frank Capra's "Its A Wonderful Life" ( So how did they get such a bad rap on Sesame Street?)
-The letters KGB stand for Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti. ( Of course I knew this one, but I was pretty sure no one else did... come on, I went to school for six years, I have to use that education for something.)
So there you g
Now a little about the family. I promised you that this blog would brag about those delightful grandkids who make my world perfect. Just a few Kaydence stories. This weekend he came to visit along with his daddy and sister. AS always, he got to sleep with grandma. In the morning I felt that eyes staring feeling you get when you are sleeping and know someone is staring at you. I open my eyes and six inches from my face is this little boy with a huge grin. He says, "Gramma Lana, your snoring woke me up?" Gee, I love that boy. Then I told him that he was going home today (I always prepare kaydence because he hates leaving) He propped his elbows on me and set his head in his hands and looked at me with those big blue eyes and said " oh no, this isn't good!" No wonder he gets what ever he wants from me! Could you turn down this face?
Well that is about it from me tonight, I'm tired. But next time you get to hear about the other kids in my family, the in-laws or out-laws depending upon how they have been behaving. But since I didn't have room to put pictures on my header I want to show everyone how well my children did in picking spouses so that I could have adorable and perfect grandchildren.

Wow, mom, you are so so brilliant! I can only aspire to be as smart as you, now I can be as smart
with your ten things I didn't know that I now know!
Not only are you a fantastic Mother and Grandmother, but also a aspiring professional photographer. You never cease to amaze me. thank-you for informing me about the ten things in life, but did you know that they injected DNA from a Dinasaur into a chicken egg,the chick started to grow a tail, during the develpemental stage, and then died. Pretty scarey stuff, I think we best leave that kind of stuff to Mother nature.
I feel rather educated now, thanks for that. In particular though... testify... very interesting.
