Looks Like Wednesday is Talk About My Family Day

The Kitten thinks the things that make noise in hula hoops are roly-polies. She gets mad when I call them doodlebugs. I never knew their real name until I looked them up today.

  1. They are totally "rolie-polies". "Doodlebugs" is mildly acceptable but "pillbugs" is just stupid.

  2. A long time ago they used to use walnut shells in hula-hoops (crushed), so we just called them peanuts.
