Have you ever tried ranch dressing on bananas? You can't call it a punishment until you try it.

A liking for spicy food and peppers is completely normal and healthy. Running is exhilarating and has countless health benefits. Ranch dressing was made for salad! I have never been "seriously" hurt. The only time I laughed was when I hit my finger with a sledge hammer...ok, I admit it wasn't funny, but it must have hit my funny bone! Burned myself on lawnmower...I couldn't tell where the pain was coming from because the pain shot through my entire body!

Emma | meadowroselibrary I suppose I should do one of these things for Alley Cat: 😂

1. She puts ketchup on LITERALLY EVERYTHING!!!!
2. She would rather sit and listen to birds than talk to real people
3. She thinks she can read 15 books at a time
4. She doesn't like pickles, peppers, blueberries, cherries, and much more!!
5. She forgets to use a blanket when sleeping 🤦🏻‍♀️
6. She's determined to be left handed
7. She would wear flip flops year around if she could

And the list goes on

Emma | meadowroselibrary - I also forgot to mention, that she'll be in the middle of a sentence talking to me, and then just stop. I'll ask why she stopped, and she'll say, "I just completely forgot what I was going to say."

Well I can relate to a few of those...😂 If she lived in Maine she wouldn't forget her blankets or want to wear flip-flops year-round, though. 😋
