Monday Mailbag: Black Eyed Peas, Needles, and the British

Happy New Year Bridger boy! Here in Texas, they eat black eyed peas for good luck. They are peas who got punched in the eyes, and they taste like it too.

BRIDGER RESPONDS: Do they have eyeballs in them? If they do I would never like to eat them. I don't eat peas because they are green food, and I don't eat green food. Dadda tries to make me eat broccoli. He says it's what dinosaurs eat, but I know dinosaurs didn't eat broccoli. I never saw that in any of my books, so I can see right through that.

Bridger, that's a cool coloring book! I'm sure Jack Hanna would love to answer your questions. You know what? I bet when you are a man and can go on adventures like Jack Hanna and Bear you won't be scared of needles. I like to give blood and I don't think it's scary. Plus you get treats when you're all done and sometimes you get a shirt :)

BRIDGER RESPONDS: Dadda is a man and he's scared of needles. He passes out when he gets poked with needles. Do they give dinosaur treats when you give blood? Dadda says he doesn't know if they give dinosaur treats or not, and that makes me think he really hasn't gived blood. If he really gived blood he would know something like that.

Bridger, I live in the UK and I found your blog while helping my son research for a paper about reptiles. I am sorry you lost your aunt. You are a very thoughtful child. Thank you for your daily thoughts.

BRIDGER RESPONDS: England?! Bear Grylls is from England and so is Nigel Marven! That's why they talk like that. Do you ever go on adventures?
