Seriously, I don’t even know.

Sketch a Day, Day 139
This evening, Allison, Michelle, and I went to a chili cook off hosted by the parents of one of our students. Michelle entered her chili, which was quite popular (but didn’t win, sadly). It got me thinking about another of the literary terms we’ve been teaching the kids, hyperbole. This seemed appropriate for tonight’s comic.

And we’re back to illustrating literary terms. Today’s is flashback, that plot device adored and overused by everything from comics to movies to books and stuff. Gotta love ’em!
Sketch a Day, Day 137
I kind of obsess over my site stats, and I have noticed that my page views are always highest when I post a comic about my sister-in-law. Who am I to deny the people what they want?
Sketch a Day, Day 136
Today’s comic arrives a little early due to time spent hanging out at Dunkin Donuts while my wife visited her nutritionist (there’s nothing at all wrong with that sentence). It continues this week’s theme of illustrating literary terms. Today’s term is, as you can see, oxymoron.

We’re working with some more literary terms in the English classes this week, so I decided to draw some images to illustrate each term. Here’s the one for foreshadowing.
Sketch a Day, Day 134
Today, on my last day of Spring Break, I cleaned out our closet. It contained a tremendous amount of clean laundry that I just hadn’t gotten around to putting away (this is apparently what life with ADD is like, FYI). The closet is completely clean now, I should point out. I also cleaned off the roll top desk in our bedroom, so once I get a chair for it, I’ll have a nice workspace available.
Yes, I was truly productive today!

Happy Easter, folks! We spent the day eating delicious foods prepared by my wife. It was awesome.

I may not have had this exact conversation, but I’m pretty sure I have one very similar on a daily basis.
And let me tell you: as someone who’s made it through 5 years of marriage, I feel I’ve got some wisdom to share. Communication IS important, but equally important is knowing when to shut up. I always know when to shut up: it’s exactly one sentence before I usually do.
