Don't you love those rare moments when the kid in you takes charge and you dive headlong into completely frivolous fun? It happened to me a few nights ago. I followed my 6 year old daughter's lead, abandoning dinner preparations to create a spur-of-the-moment diorama of the arctic sea. Yes, these are walruses of the yummy yam variety. Quite elusive - never before captured on film. My daughter recognized their potential, and we proceeded to gather an ice berg rock, match stick tusks, a blue t-shirt ocean, and plastic fish for them to eat. Why? Because we wanted to, that's why.

try the j. r. liggetts bar shampoo. it works way better than burt's bees and BB was recently bought by clorox. also i've found that chandrika and grandpa's pine tar soap both work well but not quite as good as j. r. liggetts.
