unibeavers and tiger heads

Wednesday afternoon Aaron and I went to a place called Roma's for lunch. They serve Italian food that is quite tasty. They also provide each table with a butcher paper tablecloth and crayons to keep you occupied while you are waiting for your food. Every time Aaron and I go there, we create some kind of masterpiece on our tablecloth, but Wednesday's was particularly rediculous.

After drawing pretty waves and coral and fishies and whatnot, Aaron decides we need a Viking ship to adorn the tops of the waves. And since he couldn't draw a mermaid to adorn the front of the ship, he came up with the next best thing; a unibeaver. What is a unibeaver, you ask?


THIS is a unibeaver. The mythical creature is part beaver, part unicorn, hence the large horn protruding from its forehead. Drawn by Aaron, who, after labeling the poor creature, was so busy laughing at it he was almost crying. It was rather rediculous. He'd originally drawn the beaver without a nose, so I told him he needed to put one on. After placing it in between his eyes and being laughed at for this, he decided to make it a horn, and thus, the mighty unibeaver was born.

And now you might be asking about the tiger head. That is another bit of Aaron rediculousness that occured today during our quick trip to Rapid City to find me some clothes to wear next semester when I do my student teaching.

At the cash registers were some stuffed safari-like animals, $5 each, and 100% of the proceeds go towards a children's organization. And how could I pass up the opportunity to help children AND give Ben a friend?! I couldn't, so I bought myself a little stuffed tiger. I told Aaron he had to name the tiger. What wonderful name does he come up with? Tiger-Head. Yes. That poor little tiger has been dubbed Tiger-Head. Why? Because he is a tiger and has a head. A little redundant, yes...but apparently that's how you go about naming things these days.

He then told me I needed to come up with another name for it before Tiger-Head sticks. Any thoughts?
