First of all I'd like to purrsonally thank Dr. Seuss from the bottom of my heart..
Boys and girls my daughter loved Dr. Seuss and he save a many a day from ruin.
When Big M (that is what her daddy called her) was about 5, we decided to
drive from NC to Disney WORLD. (we were young and stupid).
#1 we should have flown
#2 we should not have told Big M where we were going until we were THERE.
I had all kinds of entertainment and snacks in the car but she was so excited she could hardly focus. Every few miles she would ask, 'are we there yet'. Every time she saw a huge, green and white signs, "Welcome to ...." whatever state we were entering. With each sign she spelled out the letters and asked is this door to Florida? Her favorite Dr. Seuss books were Hop on Pop and Green Eggs and Ham. I'm pretty sure we read each of them 87,000 times. We were getting silly and had started making up lines extra lines. Dr. Seuss was my hero
Finally after much silence from the front seat I hear,
"Big M, here is the Door to Florida".
Angel Madi absolutely loved Dr. Seuss Day. Below are two of my favorite posts

My name is Madi
but I am not catty!

When my din din is not ready,
sometimes I get 'maddie'
I never wear booties
but sometime I wear hatties!
We have reached the end of this
Dr. Seuss thanks for all the gazillion hours your work has delighted, taught and nurtured children.
Here is another ditty in honor of Dr. Seuss' day.

Dr. Seuss always said be funny, be silly make yourself willy nilly
turn yourself upside down....
turn yourself upside down....
Today I'm living out a fantasy...I'm Madi-lyn Mad-roe
This is a quote by the Marilyn Monroe, that I think applies to an almost 15 year old feline diva!! Words to live by for sure!
Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.
The purrfect post and most assuredly Seuss approved!

Happy Dr Seuss Day. Do you know, I never actually read any of his books. They were just not that popular over here. I did see some films though.

OH MY, I do remember Madi and her Maddiness… you may not know that I have never held a Seuss book or even seen one and did not know his books existed until I started blogging and had to look him up to see what blogland was talking about... I assume it was because when my boys were small we could not afford expesnive books, we had the 1.00 kind and the ones people gave us... great post. and I still miss Madi to
ReplyDeleteDr Seuss would have loved your post and so do we!
ReplyDeleteThis post is the most from a wonderful host. Oh, and Dr. Seuss's creator was born up in Springfield, MA near where mom and dad are originally from!
ReplyDeleteGreen eggs and ham is a fave at work and I have also read it 87 000 times.

"Are we there yet?" is a very familiar theme to the Momster both with her own kids and with the grands:) We think Mom may have every one of Dr. Seuss's books. In fact, she enjoys them as much as the kidlets:)

Your Maddi was an eye-catching beauty, I must say! I wish I had known her, 'cause I think we could've been good furr-iends. We could've dressed up as THINGs together! Tee hee hee. Like you, Mom also really liked 'Green Eggs and Ham.' Her all time fav Dr. Seuss story was 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas.' Happy Dr. Seuss Day! -Valentine (& Kerry) of Noir Kitty Mews

ReplyDeleteMadi always made me laugh on special Blogville days especially hard. We drove from Shreveport, LA to Disney World with our two children so I can definitely relate. Hope to fly with the grandkids when that day comes! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThat was great! I love socks too. Mostly I steal them and then run around playing keep-away with them! Oh, and green eggs and ham sound like what's in the fridge the day before garbage day … Yummy!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I just loved seein' those again!!!! Angel Madi always had her paw on the pulse of Dr. Seuss!! I loves me some socks too! Ma can't walk around without shoes on her feets, cause I attack the socks OR the bare feets!!! bol!!! I just loves socks....sigh
