Scrub-a-Noodle Starts School

Scrub-a-Noodle was inspired by my son as a young child. As a single mother, you are running from one activity to another, and this one afternoon on our way to Little League, we were having our normal "e;how is your day"e; conversation and playing word games. He said Scrub-a-Noodle, and I was laughing and wondered how he came up with that name. I told him what a great word and character. I promised him I would remember and one day write a children's book about Scrub-a-Noodle.The idea for "e;Scrub-a-Noodle"e; lay dormant in my writing notebook for many years. Life changes. My son was in college, and on a particular Saturday, May 29, 2004, when I couldn't visit him, I was feeling a little low. I turned to my writing journal and started writing about "e;Scrub-a-Noodle,"e; thanking God for planting the idea in my son, Christopher, and for him giving the idea to me. This was the humble beginning of the "e;Scrub-a-Noodle"e; character.
