If you go to USPS.com and sign up for online services, one of the choices for security question is, "In what city were you born in?"

Grammar is hard.  Let's go deliver mail!

(Oh yeah ... it appears the USPS also doesn't know how to strip dashes from a phone number.  They just fail the entry and tell you it's too long.  Your tax dollars goofing off again.)

my son acquired a toy that says, among other things "where's the party at?"
(a motorcycle, of all things. his only one, so, well, we can't just "accidentally" lose it without feeling a bit harsh.)
the motor revving sound is so much less taxing on our linguistic centers ;)

if they hadn't hidden the batteries so far up the arse of the thing they would be long gone now. the grammarians at home have perpetual twitches when he goes on a button pushing streak with the thing.
thankfully, the batteries seem to be (finally) dying off.

If I get to vet the toy before it gets given to our smalls, I yank the batteries on the toys that make noise. But I prefer the bad grammar toys to the Barbie or Bratz dolls.

luckily mine has no interest in barbie or bratz.
he's more interested in blowing up, attacking, or destroying things, preferably with large vehicles or terrible monsters. and, of course, heroes like batman and superman and such.
not quite as creepy as the bratz things.
