Poor Bryan - never learned how to lie straight-faced eye to eye. A lady
gave me a picture of a kid lying down with a lion and a lamb. The lion
and the kid have huge watery eyes that look straight at you. The lamb
has regular eyes for some reason. Maybe because it's on the side of it's
head.

I told her thanks and that I'd have to find a place to hang it up and
she left happy but frankly, that thing gives me the heebie-jeebies. I'm
still thinking about where to hang it but you know that lying is just a
great skill to have!
