Similes – Contradictions

My dad, what a joker, always liked to say that things were

  • clear as mud
when he didn't understand something.  Or if his eggs got cold, he would say that they were as
  • warm as a snowball.

Have fun creating similes that make a contradictory statement.

You could say theses similes

  • hit the bullseye like a broken arrow.

The wait to see the doctor was as quick as a stare.

Yawning – Why Do We Do It?

When I was a child, we had a little Chihuahua we named Dinky.  Whenever Dinky yawned, he made a funny squeaky sound that we all found delightfully entertaining.

Dinky was also highly susceptible to yawn contagion.  All we had to do was yawn once or twice and he would let out a big yawn complete with cute little squeak.  We loved it.

Do you ever find yourself unable to stifle a yawn just after someone else yawned?  Why is that?  Why do we yawn in the first place?
