(Joel here again) Recently, we all went on a bike ride together. Eliana rides in the child seat on the back of my bike. We were riding past some hedge (aka osage orange) trees. Hedge trees produce and drop some peculiar inedible "fruit" called hedge apples that look like large, knobby, yellow-green softballs. I call them "boogers" (even though you can't eat them). I don't know why, but they just make me think they ought to be called "boogers." I was remarking about this to Eliana when she immediately informed me that "chicken munks leave those on the ground." I puzzled over that for a few moments and asked here to repeat what she had just said. She informed me again that "chicken munks leave those things on the ground." It took about ten seconds more for me to realize that she thought chipmunks were involved in leaving boogers on the ground. Seen any chicken munks lately? Neither have I, but if you ever see "boogers" in Kansas, you'll know who left them there!
