I just got an email! From my husband! Telling me we were going to barbeque and watch a movie with friends on Sunday! How exciting! In fact, I couldn't stop using exclamation points!!!

Until I asked what else we could bring. And I had to use a question mark. That got me thinking:

Do you remember that perfume for women called ex'cla-ma'tion? I loved that perfume when I was younger. You could tell it was a high-class, expensive perfume because they sold it at the local Eckerds, which is the same thing as Walgreens or CVS. Does Eckerds even exist anymore? I think not.

ex'cla-ma'tion was cool because it looked like an exclamation point! And smelled fruity. And, I love both exclamation points AND fruit, so it was, like, totally perfect for me. So, I decided to see if it was still around. And, it is!

Did you know that if you wear ex'cla-ma'tion, you can make a statement without saying a word?!? Just extend your arms, cross your wrists, and look at the camera in a way that says, "I'm making a statement without saying a word!" And don't forget to emphasize the word "statement" and use an exclamation point at the end of the sentence. The statement, without the word, just wouldn't be the same without the proper punctuation.

Apparently, in an effort to sell the perfume, they are giving away scholarships! Quick! Apply! I bet no one else even KNOWS about this scholarship. You'll win by default! Like that time my brother took first place in the gymnastics competition, and he was the only one competing in his classification! See how easy it will be?

And you'll be so witty and people will love you! And you can wear stylish clothes, like a black camisole! And you will obviously have attitude, like crossing your wrists! And your hair will be only somewhat shiny, with a very straight part down the side!

And maybe they'll give you a lifetime supply of perfume, and let you draw the winner for the sweepstakes! The sweepstakes! Quick! Enter!
