My boys have graciously downloaded a lovely "useless fact" app on my iPod touch. Personally, I would say it's far beyond useless, but it does provide us with some interesting travel conversation and good laughs, not to mention a bit of eye rolling. For instance.......did you know that giraffes are unable to cough or that 2 out of 3 adults in the United States have hemorrhoids or, most importantly, your pinkie finger can also be referred to as a "wanus".
(Yes.......they reacted just as you would expect 10- and 12-year-old boys to react.)
Tonight, as I was driving across three counties (not kidding) to take Sawyer to basketball practice, he pulled out the iPod and shared the following useless fact:
Sheep can recognize other sheep in pictures.
This was his immediate response:
"Wow, mom, so one sheep can look at a picture of his friend and say 'Look,
there's B-a-a-a-b!'".
Maybe you had to be there, but it really was very funny. I think he might have a future on "Last Comic Standing."

You (truly) will be surprised that Taylor does not have this app on his touch!! gasp! (but after asking him, I'll bet he gets it!!)
Oh man...you've got my whole family roaring with this one. I think Ethan would LOVE your boys :)
Jen, you fun is only beginning. Enjoy every moment with them. You must keep a book of these things there will be so many. Jeanne and I were riding in the car and she told the boys something and the reply from the back seat" Mom you're almost as smart as Lassie" I had to stop the car so I could collect myself. Thanks for a bright spot in our day. Don and Jeanne
very good !
