Well today I got some rather interesting (albeit random) suggestions. So as is the custom when they are here for a visit, I will try to incorporate their silliness into some of my silliness so the silliness is as silly as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please to endure the <em><strong>bold italics that will be used to highlight their contributions, of which this sentence is not one, nor even part of one, it&#8217;s just a random sentence I decided to compose to annoy anyone who is not fond of run-on sentences that just seem to go on and on without any particular reason; with liberty and justice for all.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OK. Time for the real silliness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I first asked for a story idea, Gabe told me, <em><strong>\u201cI have ketchup plants growing out of my ears. The ketchup plants in my ears have giraffes biting them, I mean munching them.\u201d <\/strong><\/em>So I may (or may not) have answered thusly: \u201cOh really?? Is this the only way you can try to reach for that imitation toothpaste dispenser?? I&#8217;m not sure you understand how purple all those invisible milk molecules can be during a pancake storm. I&#8217;ll check back with you in a few weeks to see if you&#8217;ve invented any new cheese boppers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gabe left me no choice but to ask his older brother Ollie for some \u201cHappy Friday!!!\u201d fodder. \u201cOllie,\u201d I said calmly, \u201cdo <em><u><strong>you<\/strong><\/u><\/em> have any story ideas?\u201d Ollie smirked and then he began to fribble and vossilate while he chortled,<em><strong> \u201cThe clan of cats called The Geraldines were on the hunt for mosquitoes the size of a house; so they could cook them over a fire and yell at them for no reason.\u201d <\/strong><\/em>\u201cWell alrighty then,\u201d I shrugged, wondering if either of these two grandsons of mine had ever really understood the meaning of using Twinkies for a spare tire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In very short order their interest shifted back to their video games. <em><strong>\u201cThe villagers just keep mining,\u201d<\/strong><\/em> Ollie told Gabe. <em><strong>\u201cYeah, they&#8217;re not the smartest aliens in the book,\u201d<\/strong><\/em> Gabe replied. Upon asking for more input, a flurry of activity ensued&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ollie: <em><strong>\u201cMy dog just ate all the bread in the house.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><br><br>Gabe: <em><strong>\u201cMy nose is filled with ketchup.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ollie: \u201c<em><strong>The wall is bleeding burger grease.<\/strong><\/em>\u201c<br><br>Gabe: <em><strong>\u201cIt can be anything random it doesn&#8217;t have to be funny?
