[HPFGU-OTChatter] Green eggs and ham

[Denise R]

Ok, more on the Seuss front.  My son lately at home has been going GE&H nuts.  This started the week of the 22nd (or whatever that Monday is, my calendar's turned).  He wants me to read it to him alot.  On Thursday I went to school with him, and we took the bright orange book down the steps to read on them while waiting for the bus to arrive.

Upon getting to school, I discover they are going to read said book today (the 1st), in honor of Dr. S's birthday being this week.  The teacher was upset that her copy was battered, so I reached in my bag (which, mind you, I had NO clue she was on the Seuss kick!) and pulled out Ian's fresh, new copy!  She was happy to borrow it!

The next moment the lunch was wheeled in (jumping ahead in time ten/fifteen here), and it was green scrambled eggs and ham.  (And beets and biscuits, lol Neil! and applesauce.  I do not understand why they try to make 3 year olds eat beets when it's a known fact adults do not always like them either!  I eat them, but I'm weird--brussel spouts, broccoli, spinach, etc....)

It was a Seuss day, then I come home, and Doreen asked her question.

Now, it's come full circle.

(And I have the book almost memorized, btw, it's "sleeping" beside Ian currently as I'm checking email....)

    Doreen, this is in response to you, but your messages always come up on
    a blue background with tiny little type, they drive me nuts to read, and
    when I try to respond I'm stuck in the format. So here's a new message.

    Sneetches are Dr. Seuss creatures, from "The Sneetches and Other
    Stories" which includes my personal favorite, "Too Many Daves." "The
    Sneetches" begins...

    Now, the Star-Belly Sneetches
    Had bellies with stars.
    The Plain-Belly Sneetches
    Had none upon thars.

    Etc. By the way, Sneetches are yellow, but there any resemblance to
    snitches ends.

    --Amanda, raised on Seuss, knows just about all of them by heart

    Did I ever tell you that Mrs. McCave
    Had twenty-three sons and she named them all Dave?

    Oh wow! I should have known it was something from Seuss! Thank you. If I had thought, "sneetches instead of sneetch, I may have been able to work it out myself!" 
    Thanks for the tip about the background and type ... as you can see, I have changed the background. Is the type large enough? If not, what size do you use? font and size?
