WILL WE FIND LITTLE DECAYED TEETH ALL OVER OUR YARD NEXT WEEK?
Our summer babysitter has finally landed a full-time job and is moving out of state. The kids staged a huge neighborhood party for her today, complete with a home-made pinata.
When I got home from work this afternoon, I spotted at least two squirrels in the back yard, one with something bright red in its mouth. After it lazily made its way up a nearby tree I figured out what was going on: a hot ball! They're apparently eating the leftover pinata candy, wrappers and all.
The Warrior Monk is chasing them off our patio with a broom as I type.

THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD
It's a fine summer night and all the kids in neighborhood (well, at least 10 of them) are shrieking and chasing each other with sticks in some Harry Potter-inspired game.
"Regroup!"
"Huddle! Huddle!" cries are wafting in my window.
It will all end in tears, of course, but there's no way I am interfering. We have plenty of band-aids, after all.

EGG ON THEIR FACE
More proof that some of the best advertising is free -- and the best way to get free advertising is to be banned. Extra points if you're banned by a government watchdog panel:
The British press is all over it and condemnation is pouring in. Makes the thought of scrambled eggs even more tasty than usual.
Fifty years after Britons were implored to “Go to work on an egg”, an advertising watchdog has banned a revival of the campaign, saying that it breaches health guidelines.(Via Overlawyered)
