Did you know?

How funny but did you know that crochet is "hook" in French? So why do we call it a crochet hook? We are calling it a HOOK HOOK! Silly right?

Can you think of anything else?

They are like little fish in a bowl, you know, that come popping up to the top of the water to breathe. The Please I am going to tell you about lived in the mouth of a boy named Dick; but only once in a long while did it have a chance to get out.
