The masses have finally spoken and the crowds have demanded more Ramses!!

I’m finally so famous I have my own blog. That lame-o editor Becky finally realized that she better give the fans what they really wanted.

I’ve heard that everyone else is going to get blogs as well, probably so they don’t feel bad. I can guarantee that theirs are going to be pretty boring. I mean who really cares about Keby’s garden, or what bugs Kiweenie has eaten. Yuck. With my blog you’ll be able to follow the exciting and thrilling adventures of Ramses, and learn about the most intimate of details about my daily life. That way, you can begin to copy me and start doing things the way that I’m doing them. You’ll be cooler in no time.

Okay, so let’s see, what did I do today? Oh yeah! I washed my cape this morning. If you wear a cape, it’s something that you might want to think about doing too. Even if you take careful care of your cape, like I do, it eventually needs to be washed. The way you can tell that your cape is too dirty is when people start saying things like “Eww, Ramses is that your cape or an old dish towel?” or “What’s that smell?” You can ignore them at first, because most people are way too fussy. I go by the rule of 5. When 5 people complain about it being dirty, or I’ve gotten 5 stains on it, or it’s been 5 months, that’s when I wash it. Pretty smart huh?

I fill up my bathtub with warm water and pour in some washing powder. I stir it up really well to make it very bubbly. My cape likes playing with bubbles. I also give it a rubber ducky to distract it while I am cleaning it. I use a bristly brush (F.W.’s toothbrush works great) and scrub each section till it’s nice and clean. Sometimes, depending on how many stains I have on it, it takes me awhile and I have to add more hot water to the tub. This is important, because you don’t want your cape getting chilly and catching a cold. Then when I’m done I rinse it off with warm water and hang it outside to dry.

On a sunny day there aren’t many things as majestic as my nice clean cape soaring on a clothesline. Sometimes it looks like it’s flying and I imagine that I’m flying too. I’ve tried to get F.W. to write a flucorder song about it, but he tells me I’m crazy. I think it’s beautiful.

Next time I’ll tell you about how to brush your hair – Ramses style. Till then, have fun cleaning your cape!
