The Christmas Karma Train...

The two younger children spent most of today writing long, beautiful letters to Santa. The oldest? That child drew a pretty picture. Unfortunately, it portrayed mother saying: "BLAH, BLAH, BLAH" to two of her children.

Three guesses at who gets the coal...

The Christmas Red Ear Child...

Every night at dinner, the youngest has a tendency to talk rather than eat. This usually results in an ear twist until the child decides that ears are better used to listen than for grip.

Tonight, the child started singing about being the "red eared child"...

And so it begins...

I can say "Mitsubishi"...

There is a long standing joke in our family because my sister, no matter drunk or sober, cannot say Mitsubishi. However, my wife out did her (while suffering from "turple peeth") - she couldn't say "Hugh Heffner". Don't ask where the topic came from, but suffice it to say, the name took about 10 minutes to decipher.

It's all fun and games...

Till we're playing dice and the wife begins a "good luck" lap dance...on her mother-in-law.

Other fun happenings during the dice game:

Grandma: So, what was you for Halloween?
Youngest: What was I? What was I? (emphatic hand gestures) What was I?
Grandma: Yes. What was you?
Youngest: You mean what were I? As in what did I go as? You're from Michigan Grandma, you should be able to speak proper English...
Grandma: Yes. What was you?

"No gluts, no glory" (Thank you alcohol)

Which turned into:

"No glutz (as in butt), no glory" which then generated...

Middle: Grandma and I have the best glutz.

Wife: Show us your glutz, 'cause you ain't got much... (after a particularly poor showing)

So, it's all fun and games until you get a little too rowdy...

Happy Turkey Day!!!

Happy Thanksgiving/Turkey Day to all!!! I hope we all realize all the numbers of things we have to be thankful for. For me, pretty easy:

Family, friends, good job I enjoy (usually), and health for me and my family. Also, best puppy dog in the world. I could go on, but the biggest by far is my family (including the dog) and my friends. So, again, have a happy turkey day!!! I'm off to watch the Lions lose and see the mutant John Madden Tur-Dukken.
