- Small children like bubbles.
- Large children like bubbles but are loathe to admit it.
- I like bubbles.
- Cobwebs turn to a piquant glaze when they reach just the right temperature on the grill.
- A grill that is not a fire hazard makes bland food.
- If there’s a nastier creature on the planet than a horsefly, I haven’t seen it.
- Crabgrass is green too.
- You can buy white phlox all you want, but half their children turn out magenta and that’s that.
- They tried machine guns, razor wire, high voltage, concrete, and enormous heaps of glass shards to keep those poor people from escaping from East Germany back in the day. I could have mailed them one poison ivy plant. They could have eaten twice a day instead of once with the money they saved.
- I can still beat my 11 year old in a foot race. Barely.
- I like football. It’s the only thing I watch on television. So I get a fresh perspective on things when I tune in. I have only two questions: Doesn’t anyone already have a car? Can’t anyone get an erection?
- A cicada buzzes exactly like the doorbell transformer in the utility room. I like the cicada sound better. This points to some failing in my constitution, I imagine.
- St Francis is surely a patient and loving man, to let all the birds crap on him like that.
- A rose, like a marriage, is a demanding thing to cultivate. The thorny part always grows great, but it takes a lot of effort to coax the bloom out. You must immediately cut the bloom and give it to your beloved, if you want another to grow.

I like the sound of cicadas, too. I remember once sharing that with a friend, who seemingly winced in pain at the very thought. “Oh, I hate them,” she told me. “The sound of them gives me the creeps.” Who knew?
By the way, here’s a “Wow!” to be used any time.
