GRAMMY: I’m going to the restroom.
ME: But you’ll miss Julius’ dive.
GRAMMY: He’s been standing there for twenty minutes, Barbara. He’ll be there when I get back.
ME: He’s scared, Grammy. It’s his first dive.
GRAMMY: He’s scared because you filled his head with drowning stories. He needs encouragement, not doom and gloom.
ME: I encourage Julius all the time.
GRAMMY: Yeah, to be the world’s biggest wuss. What are the other kids gonna think if he doesn’t jump?
ME: It doesn’t matter what they think, Grammy.
GRAMMY: Yeah. You keep telling yourself that. I’ll be back.
ME: I'd like her so much more if she was a senile invalid. (sigh) Come on, Julius. You can do it. Jump. Jum . . . . What the . . . ? Grammy! Get off that board!
JULIUS: Grammy?
GRAMMY: Hi, boy. Remember that day you said you’d like to push me off the pier?
JULIUS: (going home) Did you see me, Mom? I jumped right off. And higher than anybody!
ME: You sure did, Julius!
GRAMMY: I told you. All he needed was a little encouragement.

Dead fly art?
Yes. All those flies lined up are real dead flies. This guy has posed dead flies on drawings.
If you click on his name after the post, it'll take you his drawings. Some are 'eh,' and some are really funny.
The things people think of!
I just stumbled upon dead fly art this weekend? Is it going viral?
What kind of verification word is psievess? I can't make up something with that. It just psievess me off!
