The Main Dude...

Who knew it was Dr. Seuss's birthday this month?....I'm guessing everyone that has an elementary student. So to honor him, Trent and I made Green Eggs and no ham for his breakfast
this morning.
He enjoyed them....but I'm not so sure about them. I'm sure they tasted great.
We will have to make them again, on Tues morning for St. Patty's Day.

This is Cole's favorite book right now. He loves to say, "I will not eat them ANYWHERE!" Kudos on making them at home - glad Trent ate them and liked them, 'cuz I'm sort of with you, Joanne!

I just want to know why I didn't get breakfast this morning?

The Hendersons said...

steve, let me explain your dilemma:

you did not get the eggs and pan.
you did not crack them with your hand.

you did not scramble them in the pan
so, you did not eat green eggs and ham.

Tod...where do you come up with this stuff...never a lack for words!

You bring us much joy!

The Hendersons said...

okay.. that first one was right off the top of my head...

i just spent another five minutes and i think i have a better explanation for you steve. try this one out:

You did not get the eggs and pan
You did not crack them with your hand

You did not stand, stir and wait
You did not go and get a plate

You did not walk them to the table
You might have, though, we know you're able

You failed to execute the plan
Which means you had no eggs sans ham

or this one... (okay.. this is the last one.. i gotta get back to work..)

You did not get the eggs and pan
You did not crack them with your hand

You did not stand, stir and wait
You did not go and get a plate

You did not walk them to the table
You might have, though, we know you're able

In truth, your thoughts as I intuit
Were you expected Jo would do it

But Jo was tired from playing mom
And so she dropped her little bomb

No eggs for you! with that attitude
I'm exhausted caring for the brood

If you really want green eggs sans ham
Take me out to eat - my loving man!

I will not attempt a rhyme.

BUT, I will say that when I was a kid, my dad would take out his teeth (he's had false ones his whole adult life) and read me this book with no teeth - it was hilarious! :-)

~joanne said...

That's too funny..Sara. Maybe Tod can do the rhyming for you?
