The Dr. Seuss Quote For Today - From There to Here . . .

The Dr. Seuss Quote for today is, "From there to here, and here to there, funny things are everywhere!" This is mostly true! There are funny things most everywhere . . . some are easier to see than others, but there are funny things most everywhere! 

When you look at the world around us, you are able to see many "funny things" . . . just look at the Platypus . . . a small animal found in Australia which looks like a cross between a beaver, a duck, and an otter! When people first found and brought one back to England, others thought it was a hoax, but is is real for sure! 

The Dumbo Octopus is also a pretty funny looking thing . . . it has "ear-like fins protruding from the top of their "heads" (actually bodies), resembling the ears of Walt Disney's flying elephant. They are benthic creatures (which are things which live at the bottom of oceans, lakes, rivers - water environments), living at extreme depths, and are some of the rarest of the Octopoda species" 

The point is, there are funny things in the world around us - including people - and we can be very funny! I know my grands are funny! When my oldest grand was 18 months old he was at my home one day and saw a box of Quaker Oats on the counter, pointed at the Quaker Oats man on the box and said, "Grandma!!!!" I said, "Hey, wait a minute there! That isn't grandma', it is a man!" My grand smiled, pointed at it again and said, "Lynda!" Funny little person!!! :^) There are funny things most everywhere and I for one am glad this is true!

Look for the funny things around you - and encourage the children you love to do the same!
