Gravel

If kids like a picture book, they're going to read it at least 50 times. Read anything that often, and even minor imperfections start to feel like gravel in the bed.

The other day I was trying to think of the word "gavel."  It rhymes with "gravel," which is why I used this photo and quote if that was not obvious.  Anyway, I couldn't think of the word "gavel."  I could only think of the word "anvil."

I think it's because a gavel is like a hammer of justice and an anvil is like a hammer of justice for Wile E. Coyote.  And an anvil was probably used to make Thor's hammer of justice.  And also, I guess that I think more justice occurs in cartoons and comic books than in real life.
