Sometimes I'd like to ask God why He allows poverty, famine and injustice when He could do something about it. But I'm afraid God might ask me the same question.

You know your in the South when......

Just mere steps from our great State's capitol building is the North Carolina Museum of History.  We were on a little road trip today so we ventured in.  On the first floor was the funniest and maybe even a little disturbing exhibit.  Let me first say the entire second floor of the museum was split into sections entitled History of War, History of Politics, of Textiles, of Civil Rights, and Sports. But the entire first floor was one exhibit entitled :   Wait it gets better...So we wandered in...we were surprised to see two full rooms devoted to "waterfowl" decoys & rifles?  
Huh? The next room had this great little story time area with a large rug, bean bags and a bookshelf full of books about cute little Duckies...  Right next to the story time rug was this interactive video (the kind that you push a little elevator type button to play the film)  So of course Mina pushes the button,  The short film features two camouflage clad gentlemen with an over the top twang.  The video, no lie, shows them shooting ducks out of the air and having their dogs bring them back in their teeth... Great toddler entertainment.  
We moved onto the next room and it got even better, we saw this area....     right next to this....  Does anyone else think this is as funny as we did, I haven't laughed so hard in a long time... Thank goodness Mina is too young to "get it", Kobi would have been scarred for life.
