¿Qué dijo? Say what?

Wow - two posts in one night. I just finished our night time reading and what an apropos book for the night . . . Skippyjon Jones and the Big Bones. It's all about paleontology, dinosaur bones and stinky (the apropos part) pickle breath.

So why in the world am I commenting on the nonsensical Skippyjon Jones series? If you have to ask, you must not have ever read one of these treasures. This, along with any of the other series' books, is the perfect book to read to the kids if you've had one too many margaritas (insert any adult beverage here.) Not only does it encourage you to practice your Spanish accent, they all have fantastically insane passages. For instance . . .

"Up here, Skippito," hollered the Chihuahuas. "We are toasting los marshmallocitos prehistoricos."

"Not the prehistoric marshmallows!" excelaimed Skippito.

"Si, dude," replied the doggies, "but they are as hard as rocas."

and more . . .

Ding-a-ling, ding-a-long, ding-alito, (clap, clap) 

You are such a silly Skippito. (clap, clap)

You know what dogs think:

If it's good it must stink!

Plus it's great for the old snifferito! (clap, clap)

and more . . .

"Holy Halitosis!" roared the T. Mexito. "I smell the pickle breath of a Skipposaurustito!"

Like I said, totally nonsensical but so much fun. Especially with the added margarita.
