Bye-Bye June

Hello! June is almost gone! :-<>

Brother and sisters have I none, 

But this man's father is my father's son. 

Who is he?

What has a bottom at the top?

What sits in a corner and travels around the world?

Anyhoo, ta-ta to you and to June!

Summer Break, Balloons, and Telegrams

Howdy! Sorry it's been awhile, I've been extremely busy with school. But now it's over!!! I'm so excited for summer to happen, but I'll definitely miss my friends and teachers. Very bittersweet. :-/ 

Yesterday I saw the movie Up in 3D. It was nothing that I'd expected. I expected the typical Disney/Pixar cute, kid, funny, amazing movie; instead it was an excellently written riveting plot that made me laugh and enjoy, but still make me feel sorrow and sympathy for the characters. Overall, I LOVED it and I wouldn't mind seeing it again. :-> 

Last, I have a joke I found. It made me laugh out loud, but I dunno, maybe that's just me.

A dog went to a telegram office and took out a blank form. He wrote, "Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof." 

The clerk examined the message and politely told the dog, "There are only nine words her. You may send another 'Woof' for the same price."

"But," the dog replied, "that would make no sense at all!"

Get it? TTYL!

Camels, Memorials, and Finals

Hi, everyone! Its been awhile because school is almost out (yay!) and we've been doing a ton of tests, projects, finals, and papers (bleh!). Also, tomorrow is Memorial Day and I'm doing the Bolder Boulder with my friend! Anyhoo, today I have a riddle that I found.

A powerful man has two sons and he needs to decide who gets his power when he resigns. He sets up a competition where they must race across the Sahara Desert on camels.

The catch is that the son's camel to get there LAST wins. The sons are doubtful because they know the race will never end and they will probably die.

The first few days they lead their camels slowly and are weak from the heat and thirst. They then approach an old man and ask his advice about their situation. He tells them what to do and they hop back up on their horses and race off as fast as they can towards the finish line.

What did the old man tell them to do? Feel free to guess by commenting even if you don't know me well. I will post the answer soon. Thanks!
