I would like to dedicate this to Lucy and Jen. Prepare to be touched.
"Mutter Museum
has floaty bits of babies
perfect but for brains."
(Some backstory: We were at the Mutter Museum once looking at all the deformed babies in jars, including one with no brain. These women in front of us said one of the funniest things I have ever heard: "Oh! That baby is so cute! It would have been perfect if it only had a brain!" I was inspired to write this haiku because Jen sent me a picture of her standing alarmingly close to a brain in a jar with a delighted grin on her face, and Lucy has been writing haikus at school.)

you will never, in all of your life, be able to think about that lady's comment at the mutter museum without laughing hysterically, will you??
i love mutter, man. let's make i heart mutter apparel and wear it all the time. it should include tiny brain bit pieces as accessories.
also get ready for blog comment attack. i'm making up for lost time!
I think I should try to capture this Mutter-Loving market with my Natural-History-Themed-Candy Company (working name is Collections Confections). I could suspend a bite-sized brain-shaped candy into a small, clear container full of sweet fluid. I'll call it "Head Shot" or "Think Tank" or something else gross.
Or I could make it a frozen treat and call it "Brain Freeze."
