American Kazoo Factory

Well, we visited the American Kazoo Factory the other day. It basically looks like a house that was converted into a small back-room factory. The great thing is that they actually do mass produce kazoos.

After taking the self-guided, very brief tour, we assembled our own metal kazoos using a specialized device. Total cost, less than two bucks.

The most memorable moment of the day came as my wife Andrea approached our two-year-old, Daniel, and tried to teach him how to use a kazoo. She took the kazoo, placed it to her lips and began to play......but no sound came out. She tried again and still nothing. At that point she realized (as Daniel watched intently) that she didn't know how to play a kazoo. Embarrassed, she handed the kazoo to Daniel who instantly played it perfectly as he marched around the gift shop.

On a related note, it is really winter in Buffalo, NY. Cold. Icy. Snowy. Here in Plymouth, PA, we have been having a fake, snowless winter.

I dig fake winters.
