Not Mayberry

Can a shy, retiring teacher from the big city find true happiness in the small town of Wilkesboro NC, which even the locals call "Moonshine Capital of the World."

Mr Miggs and his knights ...

... is so funny that I think I will just put up the quote from his mother's e-mail. She took him to the Play Again playroom, designed for kids who... well, who... uh, are just like Miggs. Testosterone poisoned (i.e. too much boy). Anyway, here is Maire an Rua's report of young Mr Miggs' first official day at Play Again:

So Mr Miggs has his first "Session" today. Granted, it looked mainly like fun play to me, but he did like it. I'll find out later if he was mellower at school. The best moment came at the very end, when he was drawing on a white board.

"What is it Mickey?"
"It's a KNIGHT! I gonna write 'is name now" (Miggs draws an endless M)
"What's his name? Is that M for Sir Miggs?"
"No, 'is name is Sir Ulrich von Lichtenstein."


Kind of reminds me of cousin Sterling when he was just a tiny three year old. Adults would see him, think he was an adorable little toddler, pat him on the head and ask "And what do you want to be when you grow up little boy?"

"I want to be a paleontologist!"

Which usually left them speechless.

now you have to go see "A Knight's Tale", Sir Miggs favorite movie. btw, that is a picture of the real Ulrich von Lichtenstein.

No one expects Ulrich von Lichtenstein!

Least of all from a pint sized 3 yr old.

And welcome to Not Mayberry too!
