<\/a>to thank aunt deb for taking such good care of us while mommy and daddy were away, mommy decided to get a thank you gift for aunt deb.<\/p>\n

mommy knows that aunt deb really enjoys reading and visiting her favorite bookstore, joseph-beth booksellers<\/a>, so mommy got aunt deb a gift card for that store. so far, so good.<\/p>\n

while mommy and daddy were in meowssouri, they visited the university bookstore and bought\u00a0a stuffed tiger for aunt deb. tigers are very important in meowssouri. something about being the mascot. in this\u00a0 picture, the tiger mom got for aunt deb is on the right. again, so far, so good.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

but then mommy went and gave aunt deb the common cold! all right, it was a stuffed animal version. it is\u00a0the creepy looking blue thing sitting next to the tiger in the above photo. i hope the tiger didn’t catch the cold!<\/p>\n

personally, i thought that the common cold\u00a0gift was actually rude. and kind of gross. (apparently, aunt patty agreed with me.)<\/p>\n

but mommy said that aunt deb (gasp!) loved<\/em> the common cold. maybe aunt deb has a weird sense of humor, too.<\/p>\n

Mom Here: Actually, several months ago, Deb was the one who emailed me the <\/em>web site link<\/em><\/a> about the “Giant Microbes”. They are beanie baby sized plush toys,\u00a0made to look like what the microbes appear like under a microscope. Well,\u00a0except for\u00a0the eyes. They were originally intended to be a learning tool. I think they’re a scream, and I forwarded the link to other friends who either studied bio and\/or who have a similar sense of humor.<\/em><\/p>\n

The University of Missouri Bookstore had Giant Microbes for sale in their medical section. I bought a “Common Cold” for myself, as well as a “Bookworm”.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
