Each day before breakfast, Mom would pull out a "piece of bread" and read a scripture to her children that would guide them through the day. In that same tradition, on Monday and Friday of each week, I'll post a new snippet (excerpt) from the book in hopes that you will begin and end each week with a smile so feel free to bookmark this page and regularly!

Garfunkle Hair

Levi is the fifth child, the first born in Idaho. He was a tough, wild kid from the get-go. He wore a football helmet indoors for his own protection. He has a peculiar habit of slamming his head into the wall and Mom was concerned about brain swelling.

Lee has blonde hair, almost white. Dad said he has “Garfunkel Hair.” After sleeping and rolling around at night, Levi’s hair became frizzy and looked like the hair of folk singer Art Garfunkel from the singing duo, Simon and Garfunkel.  
“Hey, look, Levi has Garfunkel hair!”
​
Since Lee couldn’t pronounce Garfunkel very well, he would scream, “I don’t have Gunklefunkle hair!” Actually, Levi didn’t scream as much as he roared. Screaming would have been weird for a boy, especially a rambunctious boy with white hair. Roaring was much more becoming of him and he seemed to prefer it.

LOL. I think roaring should be encouraged in all kids. It is far superior to whining and screaming.
