The sentence "Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day?" cracks me up even more... Like his rear end is talking away to him.

So, I started talking to the bee "whachu wanna say ta me little Mr. bee? Come on. I know you're putting me on. Go ahead, say somethin'".

Don't worry, he didn't answer.

What's that mean about those of us who do get answers?

Miss Amy! I'm shocked! (and delighted)

Like I said in the beginning, the definitions of personification and anthroposdajbalkjgfafgkljimorphism often overlap--I tend to think of personification as applying to things (like flowers) and anthroakfdsghnagjaasdlsdgkjambnzxmlfdksjimorphism to animals (or half-and-half animals), but if you want to call it all anthroalskjxcnasdlnalgjaoirtjldskagaglkjamorphism, be my guest.

Miss Jan -- Could you please pronounce those words for me?

Teacher, are you demonstrating a frog trying to catch a fly? Otherwise you aren't looking very professional this evening.

Sorry to bring this back up but I guess I missed this week. And although my 'character' doesn't speak, does this still fall in with what you mean?

It's an old story and still needs some work, but I loved rereading it anyway.

Jan - just trying to catch up.

“Hey, you're supposed to be devouring hay in this new kingdom. So why the saliva drip every time I pass? You're supposed to lie down with me and be mates – you'll be in big trouble with the boss if you revert to your old ways.”

Snap! “That was worth dying for.”
