Sick, disturbed children like my sibs and I were, who really like the version of Hansel and Gretel where they get eaten?

hehehe....

I guess my generation has been tainted by the "tamer" Wilder version of Wonka. ;-D

Sis...we have hugh June Bugs here! Like an inch long, with long furry antenna and they buzz at you when you pick them up! They're the coolest things, night before last I got one for Joshua. He played with it all day yesterday, but last evening when I was putting thenuggets back in their tote on the porch, the June bug flew out the open door.

So I told Joshua...don't worry, I bet I can get another one.

Well, I ended up getting SIX! He's thrilled.

We're gonna tie thread to one's leg and let it fly around in the house.

Oklahoma

Brand new state, Brand new state, gonna treat you great!
Gonna give you barley, carrots and pertaters,
Pasture fer the cattle, Spinach and Termayters!
Flowers on the prairie where the June bugs zoom,
Plen'y of air and plen'y of room,
Plen'y of room to swing a rope!
Plen'y of heart and plen'y of hope!

Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain,
And the wavin' wheat can sure smell sweet
When the wind comes right behind the rain.
Oklahoma, ev'ry night my honey lamb and I
Sit alone and talk and watch a hawk makin' lazy circles in the sky.

We know we belong to the land
And the land we belong to is grand!
And when we say - Yeeow A-yip-i-o-ee ay!
We're only sayin' You're doin' fine, Oklahoma! Oklahoma - O.K.

The song, "Oklahoma", with words by Oscar Hammerstein II (1895-1960) and music by Richard Rodgers (1902-1979), was adopted by the Oklahoma Legislature as the official state song of Oklahoma on May 11, 1953. The song was adopted as both an official song and anthem.
