Genius in the Making

I had hoped for at least a few years before my son could out smart me, no such luck. At 7 months Glen was able to solve this brain teaser puzzle that I have been working on for months, and it took him about 30 seconds. He truly has the Hansen smart genes.

Animal Game

I do not know if all those games every one plays are made up or you get them some where, but I am going to pretend you make them up so I do not feel so silly making this game up.
Glen and I were talking today about what kind of animal we would be if we were animals. We decided Glen would be a puppy because they are always forgiving and love unconditionally, and they are so darn cute.
If I were to choose the animal John would be I would give him the Lion. He is fiercly protective of Glen and I, but when you get on his good side he is very playful. Think Mufasa...
I wanted to say that I am a horse or something really cool like that, but when I am honest with myself nothing in my personality says hose except maybe my love of open spaces and freedom. So I had to choose between a cat or a Chiwawa, here is my reasoning; cats are opinionated and stubborn. Do not ask me why I think cats are opinionated and stubborn, they have just always struck me as being so. Now a Chiwawa is great. They are small, and cute. I choose a Chiwawa because my personality is a very (get ready for a huge run on sentance) "I'm not shaking because I'm cold I'm shaking because I'm excited, I'm alway happy to see you and can't give you enough love, and I want to chase my tail to get rid of all this energy," type of personality. *Gasp*
So here is the Game, you get to choose which animal fits your personality and discribe it in your post. You have to give at least three reasons, and no mythical animals please. You can also tell about your spouse and children if you want. I tag anyone who is reading this and has a blog. Have fun!

Ramdom Sampler

Yes I spelled it that way on purpose.
Seven random things about me.

1. I think ranch is the ultimate condiment and can be eaten on almost anything.
2. I hate raisins in cookies, a cookie with raisins is ruined.
3. My favorite fingernail is my left thumb.
4. I know what this is a picture of (does that make me a geek?)
5. Water is my favorite liquid beverage, sometimes I drink about 1/2 a gallon a day or more.
   
6. John calls me RAM (hence the picture and misspelled title)
7. I love the arch in my feet, it is what made me want to start ballet in the first place. Come on, I was like 10 years old.

Darn! I am out of numbers. Oh well, here is a bit of useless information that you may have never wanted to know about me. I bet Audrey (my best friend since like second grade) doesn't even know a lot of that.
...I wonder how much of this John knows?...
Well I hope you all enjoyed this little sneak peak into the crazy life of RAM.
