Some Odds and Ends

I thought I would catch you up on some odds and ends here.

For those of you following the ongoing saga of Regan, Tyote, and the rest of the Coyote family:
Regan has been sprung from the pokie for poking a cactus by his father Rego who is now the Coyote President. (Just in case you are wondering, you will find the coyote capitol in Mexico City.) One can only hope Regan has learned his lesson but only time will tell. In the meantime, nepotism regains supreme in the Coyote capitol because Regan has been made a senator.

Some new facts about the Coyote clan:
1) Rego has a brother named Mego who lives in Colombia (South America).
2) Rega has a sister named Mega who lives in Nogales, New Mexico. It seems that the Coyote's have dual citizenship because Rego is Mexican and Rega is American.
3) Tyote (the stuffed animal coyote) has a Mexican blanket with a sun and a moon on it. I think this is for sleeping with but I am not sure. Anyway...the blanket compliments the decor in Tyote's nice lair.

New subject. Things to put into a book some day: I heard one this weekend that has to go into the chapter called, "Things You Thought You Would Never Have to Say". I was talking with a family who has a kid with a high functioning form of autism. I guess the kiddo has a little problem with aggression (not at all uncommon among kids with autism). The family has been trying to teach the kid to be nice to the dog. Apparently not long ago the kid was laying next to the dog while the family was watching TV. The dog yelped so of course they look to the most likely culprit for the dog's discomfort. Apparently the dog had licked the little boy so he bit the dog's tongue. So to add to your list of things to tell your kids not to do you probably need to add, "Don't bite the dog's tongue."
