it was a medical emergency… sort of

Feb 8, 2023

The weather in the Ville is much warmer than it’s been of late. That means that the ole’ stink bugs are waking up and I’ve spotted a few in the last couple days. This morning, Merida heard one land on the floor.

So she ate it!

She rubbed her face on the carpet for 30-minutes and then fought me like she was rabid as I washed her face. Crisis averted, she’s ready for a nap.

What about me?

After reviewing yesterday’s post, I’m wondering if I have a medical emergency of my own. I know my brother has a huge head, but seriously… do I have like a pin head or something? 😯

Me, Scott and Mom

Mom is closer to the camera so in perspective, I’m guessing hers is a normal sized head. Scott and I are side by side and good grief!! It’s like a watermelon next to a grapefruit. I shared the photo on Facebook and someone said Scott and I looked alike. Are you kidding me??

Maybe those wrinkles I talked about yesterday are simply the product of shrinking head syndrome.

TIL (Today I Learned): In 1915 a farmer saw his sister make her own mascara with coal and petrolium jelly and thought he could make a better product. His invention was easier to apply and won’t burn a woman’s eye. He named his new company Maybelline after his sister Maybel and the base material Vaseline.
