What to do While I'm in the Hospital


Lower your voice.
Remember, Emergency Contacts
are stored under your tongue.
Please put the soup in the stove and
set the baby on fire. You will find
matches in my purse. You may
pick up your check and let
yourself out when you are done
with the frozen pigs. Please
have a mint chocolate on me.

I fall into the label, "crazy," cause I swear there are little bugs scooting across the screen, from right to left.

mmmmm, frozen pigs

Great line.

I like this, but the "frozen pigs" kind of threw me.

Terry -- You see the little bugs! I put them on years ago, but I hardly ever see them. They're a kind of html trick.

Yes, she has to polish the frozen pigs.

Thank you, Nick! I'm really flattered.

Valerie -- setting the baby on fire didn't throw you? And yes, the frozen pigs will throw you if you try to ride them. ;)

I love the little bugs. And the unique honey-do list.
