Has anybody seen my tambourine?

My 9-year-old found this cute little dude under a rock in our front yard.

(Before you ask, no, he isn't venomous. The snake isn't venomous, either.)

I asked my fourth grader how school was. He said, "It's for birds."

He meant to say "It's for the birds." He didn't get the idiom quite right but I think I like his version better. 😆

Me: "Super Mario Bros. came out 40 years ago today in Japan."
Wife: "No."
Me: "Yes."
Wife: "I refuse to believe that. I refuse."

Happy anniversary to a game my wife and I love and which now makes us acutely feel our age! 😆
