learning something every day

Last night I learned a surprising truth about Somebody. It turns out that, had he lived in old Nauvoo, and had he owned a large knife and block of wood, he still could not have been a member of the Whistling and Whittling Brigade, because besides being unable to whittle a mocking bird out of a piece of pine in less than 53 seconds, he also is unable to whistle. I didn’t even know that there were people alive who couldn’t whistle. Huh. Just in case you were wondering, yes, I did try to teach him. But our 4 second lesson was interrupted by my falling off the couch laughing. With him, not at him.
