The puzzle about FAIL
C created a crossword for her family newspaper today.
Oh, heck, you know what? I'm just going to post the whole newspaper. Except I don't think she's done the comic yet.
THE FAMILY GAZETTE September 22, 2008Lost and found
On Saturday my kitty Smokey did not come Home, and he remained missing for two days! And yet on Monday morning at 4:30 my daddy said 'open your eyes ' and there in his arms was Smokey! And now you must know that I had been praying for Smokey all this time so I was really glad to see an answer to my prayers, well Smokey is safe and still an extremely good cat and he either ate something big or has a swollen belly. Praise God that Smokey is safe!
Bodie
In this ghost town I became a junior ranger on Saturday! It is cool really cool but not all of it is abandoned! There is an old chapel, hotel, bunches of mines, the Daniel Boone store, an old school house, an old vault (the bank burned), lots of Houses, an old gas station, and an old well.joke
Bill: What do you get if you cross having to die when an hourglass runs out and a packed hourglass?
Jane: a long life silly!
And the crossword is here. She managed to document every single thing that went wrong in our garden this year. My favorite clue is the following: "16. These did not do well AT ALL even though Mom built them a trellis." Hey, this year was a learning experience, right? I get a free pass, right? The Real Garden, that's next year's... right? (P.S. You may have to google the "smut" thing. Just for pete's sake be careful. There's a lot of unpleasant stuff that pops up if you google just that one word. Not that I would know.)
Comments
Homemade newspapers are the MOST fun. My daughter made one at the beginning of the summer and then was apparently too exhausted for the rest of the summer to ever make one again...

Aww. The whole newspaper is great.

Such a fun idea to have her make her own newspaper-- especially on a regular basis! I wish we'd done that when my sisters and I were growing up.
(The ghost town sounds neat!)

Er ... Smokey IS definitely a BOY cat, right? Granted two days is a bit fast for a gravid belly to show up, but then again, C wold be looking at the cat moe closely after an escapade ...

Hee! Yes, he's a neutered boy. (Couldn't even have been off gallivanting, then, although I've known neutered cats who TRIED.) I think he had just had a big meal.

Corn smut? GROSS. We had it here a few years back. Apparently it's a delicacy in some cultures ...
LOVE the crossword. LOVE.

I had to laugh at "gallivanting". "Tomcatting" would also work in this context.
