After I finished high school, I had a cool opportunity to be a full-time nanny for a family with two small children. At the time, I believe the kids were 2 and not quite 5 months old. Right away I worked at putting together a schedule for these youngsters. Everyday at 3 o'clock, Animaniacs came on. It was cartoon with these three characters (and I seriously cannot remember their names)--but it was two boys and one girl. The artists of the cartoon wrote the episodes with mini episodes within the grander episode. One of the "skits" was Good Idea/Bad Idea. Today while going through MULTIPLE files (a painful, mind-numbing exercise that might just send me over the edge) I remembered Good Idea/Bad Idea. Here's what I came up with in my head...
Good Idea: Driving to work
Bad Idea: Driving with a blindfold on to work
Good Idea: Answering the phone
Bad Idea: Answering the work phone like Yoda
Try this tomorrow. Think of something that's normal and then try adding a new take. It's fun...well, it's more-or-less delusional fun. But fun, none the less.
Okay--I know these are not right. I know, I know. But let's see how you do being locked in a room without a window, multiple old, smelly files, and a Carmel Macchiato.

What is in the carmel macchiato? If it is strong...count me in! Ha! It is Thursday and tomorrow is Friday...and then the weekend...and then another chance to do it all again! Essy
I LOVED that show. I could sing the whole theme song. Pinky and the Brain were awesome!"Are you thinking what I am thinking?" was a great line. What was the bad idea for stop and smell the roses? I just remember it being funny.
