A Child's Description...

Twerp #2 was tearing her dinner roll apart and putting pieces on her plate to be buttered. She said:

Twerp #2: Mom, you know that guy that came to our house for dinner...the one you're related to...you know, the one with three boys in the family and one girl? He's the one who taught me to do my roll this way.

Mom: You mean Gabe and Jesse?

Twerp #2: No, the other one. You know...the one with littler hair and no beard.

Now, you have to understand. My Aunt and Uncle came out here for Christmas with their boys...their older boys...their boys who decided that since they were on "vacation" that they didn't need to shave while they were here. Twerp #2 told both of them that they were itchy and that they should shave. So obviously, the "littler hair and no beard" comment was referring to my Uncle Gary.

Sorry Gary. You have more hair than my dad...so that's saying something. I'm not quite sure what it's saying, but it is saying something! I love you Gary, Carol, Gabe and Jesse. We sure enjoyed your visit out here and miss playing games with you all. I'll see you in March when I come out for Grandpa's 90th birthday.

I just had a chance to sit and read your blog for a little bit. Thank you so much for coming to my class tonight. Both times I have met you I have left wishing that I could have talked to you more and your blog makes me feel even more like that. You are amazing! I know I will see you again soon.
