My favorite author ever is Dr. Seuss, hands down, no question about it. I love his books, his made up words, his silly rhymes, his insightful quotes, and his way of delivering an important message so that everyone understands.
So when I pulled up my browser and the word Google was made up of funny looking cartoons, I almost jumped with excitement. Today marks the 105th anniversary of Dr. Seuss's birthday. Google suggested a few links to learn more about the man, as Google usually does, and one of them was a link to Seussical quotes.
"If I was invited to a dinner party with my characters, I wouldn't show up." -Dr. Seuss
Really? I would totally show up. Imagine that. The Cat in the Hat, Yertle the Turtle, Mack the turtle, Horton, the Who (the tiny person, not the band), the Lorax, the Once-ler, Sam and the Grinch.
The Grinch would try to steal the dinner party before it happened. Once it occurred, the Cat in the Hat would spill his drink and make an even bigger mess trying to clean it up. The Lorax would pull up the carpet and knit thneeds for all the guests. Horton would be upset because they served green eggs and ham. "A chicken's a chicken, no matter how small." Sam would be ecstatic over the menu since he would have figured out already that he does like green eggs and ham. And then everyone would start talking politics. Civil rights, democracy, sustainability, all sorts of things.
Perhaps I wouldn't come out of there unharmed, but I would have fun and a thneed to show for it.
