Wanted!

Chicken

He may seem like an innocent, furry children's stuffed animal, but looks can be deceiving. Under that puke-tainted fur lurks an evil mastermind of a duo that has been waking up an unsuspecting toddler each morning this week at 6:50 a.m.

Puso the Computer Player
(a.k.a. Puso)

Puso is Chicken's partner in crime. I suspect Chicken is the brains of the operation, and Puso is the brawn. With his earth-trembling roars he commands his victims to do what he wants. And in this case that is getting out of bed before 7:00 and going downstairs to wake up Mommy and Daddy.

Yes, Coleman has been getting up every morning at about 6:50. This morning I asked him what was waking him up so early. He said, "Chicken and Puso are waking me up! They say, 'It's time to get up!' but I tell them I'm still sleepy but they make me get up." If this keeps up, Chicken and Puso may find themselves banished to the guest bedroom.

Here are some pictures of the silly boys:

I usually watch The View while working out at the gym, and this morning they had the spokeswoman for Olay's Skin Cancer Takes Friends campaign. During the month of May, you can find a participating dermatologist in your area and get a FREE skin cancer screening. I'm going to try to make an appointment and I hope you will too!

Here's a bit of trivia from this Seinfeld buff. Marcia Cross is the spokeswoman for Olay's campaign on skin cancer awareness. In season 9 of Seinfeld, she played a dermatologist that Jerry dated. He didn't think a dermatologist was a real doctor, and he called her Pimple Popper, M.D., only to later hear a man tell her that she saved his life when he had skin cancer. Is it odd that I remembered an episode of a sitcom from 10 years ago when I saw her promoting skin cancer awareness?
