Duct Tape


When my nephew was a kid and a toy broke, he always wanted the tape to tape it back together. His brother always wanted to staple his toys together.
There's a joke floating around that says anything that is broken can be fixed with duct tape or baling twine.

Today, the school my grands attend had duct tape day. It's a week long event, whereby each day they dress up in some specific style to celebrate the spirit of homecoming. Doesn't make sense to me, but it's fun to help them dress up all goofy.

I bought a roll of pink duct tape and we taped their shirts and pants, as well as their booksacks. We signed their tape and Ana, the oldest had all her friends at school, including a teacher, autograph hers. She said it was a fun day.

Tomorrow they go as the wounded--kinda the way many folks with money tied up in Wall street are feeling right now.
