Daniel and Devin

Gina and I used to go visit Kev and Jo every summer when we were kids. Two particular stories from that time stand out in my memory.

When Daniel was around six years old, I guess, he had misbehaved once and wasn't allowed then to go with Kevin to check on the bees, which they were keeping at the time. The kids were very dramatic, a fact which was evidenced in Daniel's reaction. After Kevin sent Daniel to his room for being bad, we heard the usual howls and bawling. What we heard next left us laughing so hard, we all practically peed in our pants. "My daddy, my daddy!" we heard Daniel exclaiming in a voice that would make any well-trained Shakespearian actor jealous. He continued, "I love him so much! And he never takes me anywhere!"

I remember one morning talking to Devin when she threw suddenly threw into the conversation, "Yesterday, when I was older than you..." I guess she was about four years old. I remember suddenly feeling like I was in the Twilight Zone.

Short and sweet but stories I will never forget.

Call Me Again Sometime

Mary called Anna to wish her Happy Birthday. At the end of their conversation Mary said, "Well, I thank you for calling me." Anna replied, "You called me!" to which Mary answered, "I'll do that!"

It will be no wonder if I end up on the Funny Farm!
