Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Ah! Very good. Would you mind telling me whose brain i DID put in?

Igor: Then you won't be angry?

Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: I will NOT be angry.

Igor:  Abby someone.

Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Abby someone. Abby who?

Igor: Abby ... Normal.

Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Abby Normal?

Igor: I'm almost sure that was the name.

Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Are you saying that I put an abnormal brain into a seven and a half foot long, fifty-four inch wide GORILLA?

crinkly wrinkly

Lulu drew this Halloween picture for Auntia and me...

kinda gory for a 5 year old, innit?!?

and told me that she is the bleeding hand, Auntia is the bleeding star, and i am the bleeding bat...

when i asked her why i have to be the Old Bat,..

she answered with, "Gee, Nona ... i DIDN'T draw your wrinkles!!!"

Age wrinkles the body, 

Quitting wrinkles the soul.
