For All My Fellow Narniacs

When the Bowers were over today, we were looking through a book we've had for awhile, ROAR! A Christian Family Guide to the Chronicles of Narnia. This book goes through each book in the Chronicles of Narnia series chapter by chapter, it's really cool. I came across this list and I thought it was too funny to keep to myself.
You Know You're A Narniac When. . .
25 Ways To Face The Truth:
  1. Someone says Lucy and you think Edmund or Susan, not Charlie or Snoopy.
  2. You've tried at least once to plant a coin or a piece of candy. . . and come back to check your crop.
  3. You don't go to the zoo to see the animals. You go to eavesdrop.
  4. You knock on the front of every wardrobe-and knock on the back of them too.
  5. You've stared at paintings of sailing ships so long you've gotten seasick.
  6. Upon departure, when your friends say, "Gotta Go" or "See you later" you respond with, " To Narnia and the North!"
  7. You've dreamed about getting tossed by a huge lion, and it was a very good dream.
  8. You still jump in puddles, looking for the right one.
  9. You'd never trust an ape with needle and thread.
  10. You can tell by looking at them that donkeys are genuinely sorry.
  11. You know there's no such thing as a good education that's weak on dragons.
  12. You fret that you'll go to sleep one night with dragonish thoughts in your heart.
  13. You practice archery, fencing, swimming, and riding. . . just in case.
  14. You're careful to look away if a squirrel seems about to bury a nut.
  15. You actually know how much a firkin of wine is.
  16. On cold winter days your thoughts turn to a cup of hot tea with Mr. Tumnus.
  17. You're instinctively attracted to people with unfortunate names.
  18. You know that beeches and birches are girls, and maples and oaks are boys.
  19. After a warm rain, you search wet grass for circles of sleeping Dufflepuds.
  20. You know how many stomachs centaurs have and what they like to digest.
  21. You have fantasized about going for a Sunday sail. . . underground.
  22. When you're feeling down, you find that gloomy Wiggle-isms(like "Of course, every bad day comes to an even worse end") cheer you up immediately.
  23. You believe that all Creation resound with a mysterious music, if people could only hear it, and the best way to describe it would be "a lion singing".
  24. You're deeply reassured by the knowledge that "Wrong will be right, when Alsan comes in sight."
  25. You love stories, and know that the best page of the best story is still to come.

Sean,
Dufflepuds are creatures with one foot that are found in the Lone Islands in the book The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. You should check them out, they're hilarious!
