It’s May 18. 
Today is “Visit Your Relatives Day.”  Which relative do you like to visit the most?  The least?  Is there a story there you can tell?

Trivial Fact of the Day:   “Who you calling a chicken?”  The chicken is actually the closest living relative of the extinct Tyrannosaurus Rex; their bone protein is/was almost identical.

Interesting Quote of the Day:  “Make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes.”  --Sara Teasdale  (American poet)
 Vocabulary Word of the Day:  amity (noun) – this is a fancy word for friendship or the state of peaceful harmony.  With whom do you share the most amity?  With whom do you share the least amount of amity?

Happy Monday!!!
