let me tell you something very funny that i overheard last night.

my daughter's boyfriend's two kids were staying with us. we call the
boy junior. well E(the girl) and junior talk a lot. my son got
tired of their incessant noise.

my son: i'll give each of you a dollar if you'll just shut up for five minutes.
junior: ok.
my son: you lose!
junior: what?

a little bickering ensued.

my son, a little later: ok. let's try this again. i'll give each of
you a dollar if you shut up for five minutes.
junior: ok
my son: you lose!
junior: WHAT?!

LOL!

well, here it is many days past his birthday...

and still no card from his father.


:(

edit: he didn't send my son a card last year either.

got home yesterday from work to find that the son had completely cleaned his room.

got home today to find that he'd astounded his sisters by cleaning the house. when the youngest sister asked him why he was working, he replied that he wanted to prove to them that he wasn't useless.

i like the results, but i don't like whatever it was that someone said to make him think that way.
