World History, From the Book of Alex

He's so full of it.

Today's history lesson was on Mummies, the mummification process, and pyramids.

"Well, mom, do you know how they make a mummy?

You wrap a dead guy in a whole bunch of toilet paper, then he stands up like this... (he stands rigid with his hands crossed over his chest). After he's a wrapped up, you need to get him to the stable. Quick! Otherwise, he'll dry up and turn to air in the sand. (That part was nearly correct.)

"You should always keep your mummies in a stable. And your grandmas. They belong in stables because it's comfortable to them. Do you know what the pyramids are for? They keep the toilet paper."

Wow, Giza is the world's biggest toilet paper cozy.

Someday I will cross the Fuss-kick-ick ocean again, to make my way to the stables of the mummies.
