I hate vinyl siding, but I liked this book

Let me first start off by saying: I HATE subdivisions and cul de sacs. But this book that I just finished reading made me think differently about them.

Read this book if you were ever curious about any of the following:

So, I thought, why not put them on cardboard cut outs of baby bodies...and use our heads as their faces. Hence you see Mike trying to kiss himself in this picture. They were a hit. My family laughed. And my mom did too! See mom, I'm no crazy.
