My youngest son, when he was small, always wanted to go to “Toys For Us”.

It was really named “Toys R Us”, but he had the right idea that it meant getting toys for him.

When my son was little, he always wanted to get a happy meal at “McDonald Duck” (better known as just McDonald’s).

I guess it sounded like cartoons on TV, and he probably thought the words went together.

It’s cute when children try to say complicated words with multiple syllables. I remember when my youngest son, Jonathan, was little (he’s almost 41).

He always called them “Squito-mo-bites” when he was bitten by mosquitos.

Based on recent analysis of my blog statistics, I have now incorporated a new “Best Stories” feature on the web site, which shows the best story posts viewed on my blog.

The results indicate that “Criminal Hamsters” is the best story.  It tells about trouble caused by pet hamsters that my sons had when growing up.  I remembered this recently while taking them to the park while they were staying with us for the weekend.  I told about the experiences their father had to my grandkids during out ride and thought it would make a good story to share with my blog audience.

I have added sub-menu page for Stories under the Writing menu above. Enjoy reading my stories and find out what others like the most.

Please let me know how you like this capability to read my best stories.
