North Carolina Speedbuggies


The North Carolina Speedbuggy is a very fast red ant that bites. They run so fast they make a hole through the wall. They are really, really, really high jumpers. They can jump over the St. Louis Arch (the tallest arch in the world).

It is a very small critter, so small that it can jump inside your nose, and it can go in your eyeball.

The North Carolina Speedbuggy can swim across the ocean. And they have wings.

They are really tiny, so you can't see them. And they can solve anything, even a safe.

Imaginventions

i-mag-in-ventions: Ideas, imagination, and inventions created and developed by people I observe (mostly children, and mostly my children).

I've been kicking myself for years for not recording the kids brilliant ideas for new words, animals, weapons, etc., and the stories they tell to bring them all together.

So now I've created a place to put them, mainly for my own entertainment and wonder, and secondarily for yours.

Enjoy.
