Little chicken
September is National Chicken Month. So I sent Bubby a chicken.
I originally planned to mail him the standard rubber chicken, which would be kind of funny in a weird, what-the-hell-is-Grandma-thinking kind of way. But those, apparently, are not intended for children under the age of three.
So I gifted him with a Fisher-Price Shake 'N Go Chicken
Bubby wasn't too impressed.
That's okay. There's always an opportunity to razzle and dazzle him in October -- which is National Raptor Month ... Squirrel Awareness Month ... Go Hog Wild - Eat Country Ham Month ... Liver Awareness Month ... . The options are endless!
Be afraid prepared, Bubby, be very afraid prepared!*
(*When this phrase popped into my head, I wondered where it came from. Do you know? It's the tagline from the 1986 version of "The Fly.")

I'm really hoping you send him something for Liver Awareness Month. I must admit, I'm not normally all that aware of my own liver. What's the appropriate gift for such an occasion? Last night's leftover liver, ala "Mommy Dearest"? Is there a Liver Awareness Mascot Plush Toy? The possibilities really are endless.
I'll be visiting him in October so maybe I'll fry up some liver and onions, give him his first taste of the down home goodness!
