not bad, huh?

Well, we got Leo’s retake of his school picture back and it’s not too bad! He doesn’t look nearly as beautiful as he is BUT it’s not too bad. I wrote in big letters on the picture form “HE DOESN’T HAVE TO SMILE IF HE DOESN’T WANT TO!” because that’s what causes the problem. Here’s my sweet pea:

So last night we had dinner at Fries and Peanuts in the midst of some sort of wake for George Chin. Owen’s dinnertime commentary:

Owen: There are FOUR Bobs

Me: Four Bobs?

Owen: There’s the rock and roll Bob Daddy told me about….

Me: You mean Bob Dylan?

Owen (excitedly): Yes, that’s him! There’s Bob Dylan, Bob the cat and Bob the Dad (our friend we were eating with and evidently the cause of this Bob-mania).

Me: That’s only three….

Owen (proudly): There’s Bob Dylan, Bob the cat, Bob-Dad and…..Bob the Builder!!

Me: You are right Owen….four Bobs…..

So this morning my sister was going to take my Dad to 7:00 mass. Mom said to call them at 6:00 to make sure they were up as they sleep later than they used to. So at 6:00 I begin calling….after a few minutes the answering machine comes on so I hang up and call again…..and again…..and again….. Finally at about 6:30 after my sister has already left for their house my mother answers the phone and tells Ernie, “oh I can’t believe I slept through that……Joe said the phone’s been ringing for a long time but he couldn’t find it”. O.k…….that sounds plausible, right? until you realize that the phone is CONNECTED TO THE WALL IN THE KITCHEN…….

more anecdotes to follow….

Thoughts?
