The winner: "Eating that last beignet NOT recommended!"


Taken in NOLA. I won't tell you what it's for. You're going to tell ME what it's for.

Have at it!

From Minivan Chronicles:

From Julia L. (Age 11)

* DO NOT CRASH INTO WALL!
* Automatic doors closing!

From Jake L. (Age 6)

*Watch where you're going! Do not crash into a wall and fall into an area with only boxes and doors surrounding you!

(NOTE from me, "Mr. Michael," to Julia and Jake: Julia and Jake, you have both offered wonderful interpretations of this warning sign and, more importantly, you've offered very good advice for life. I have often crashed into walls, and I've had automatic doors close on me. And when those things happen it makes life a little rougher for me, though it sometimes makes other people laugh a fair bit. And here's something else: I almost never watch where I am going; just ask your father because he's played basketball with me. He knows. And I can confirm that you're right. It's not good when those things happen. Sadly, though, I work in an office with two doors and many boxes, so I can't follow your advice, Jake, about not going into an area with boxes and doors surrounding me. Maybe that's one reason I post so many sad photos on this blog.)
