CORK SCREWED

The man held up his arms in defeat.

"I give up", he bemoaned as he stumbled out the door.

"If they want to leave...let them."

She stared at him in amazement wondering what possessed him to give in to defeat. Was it the boss again? The new girl who never should have been hired in the first place?

"Wait!", she yelled after him.

Ok, so that's not what Cinnamon was reading this afternoon. Rather it was Dr. Seuss' "Green Eggs and Ham".

"Easy, peasy", she declared as she walked upstairs upon finishing the book.

While she read, her brother practiced letters with his elephant and lion. Today was better than earlier this week - the stack of "unknown" letters of the alphabet cards was reduced to five...G, N, U, I, H.

The news of the day from cyber land...Scotland voted for independence from the UK. Results will be in tomorrow. Then there was much ado about Gerard Depardieu's claim to drinking up to 14 bottles of wine in one day. How this became news is beyond my comprehension. Although I wouldn't mind having those corks for my collection.
