"Dad, you know what, there is a job doing exactly what the guy is doing. Actually, that place RIGHT THERE (tax place across the street) pays people to stand where he's standing and do what he's doing?! Why doesn't he just go work for them?" Me: "Remember when you asked me why I don't give money to people on the street corner? You're 11 years old and you found him a job. He makes more money begging." Son: "Yeah! Like the guy with no legs at Wal-mart! He's been there longer than I can remember... But he drives a Jeep." Me: Exactly.

February 26, 20205 yr Popular Post Gotta brag on Little T'Boo for a second. I've taught the kids that when they get allowance for chores or gifts, money goes in 3 piles. Save, Give, Spend. They don't get the % yet so I help them with that. Mostly they give each week at church and have ridiculous amounts in savings and cash for kids their age. Last week our 7yo son says to me he wants to give $100 each to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society as well as the American Heart Association. My Mom died from Leukemia before he arrived and one of his classmates has it as well. Man, talk about getting a lump in my throat. I would have never even thought about that at his age. Proud Dad right here.

February 27, 20205 yr My mother in law has Alzheimers. She will probably be dead within a week but is still alive. I took my 7 and 4 year old to church last night but just dropped them off and picked them up real quick because I needed to run a couple of errands. Apparently my 4 year old told everyone there that the MIL died yesterday morning. Seven people from church have either sent flowers to the house or stopped by this morning offering their condolences.

Hell, I was in my 40s before I found out that what you give up for Lent can be had on Sundays.

I'm your only mommy. Daughter: No, I have another mommy. I can't remember her name. Wife: What? Daughter: She wears long black dresses and has long black hair.
