    Participating in an exercise at a conference, I obediently imagined trying to put a giraffe into a mini fridge - after clearing out some of the items to make room. A few minutes later, the speaker said, "Now put an elephant in the refrigerator." I'm quietly pantomiming way in the back but apparently she was ready to spot the one person out of 500 or so who thought to take the giraffe out of the fridge first.

    My kids have two stomachs.

    One is the meal stomach. It’s about the size of a pea, which is why they’re unable to consume a full breakfast, lunch, or dinner. 

    The second is the snack stomach. This one stretches infinitely in accordance with the amount of snacks consumed.
