Offering too much information…

May 25th, 2001

5/2001 Recently after a friend’s son’s Christening, George was out in the backyard pulling a couple of toddlers around in a wagon.  He was going pretty fast – and it was all the little ones could do to hold on for their lives.  I told George he needed to slow down so no one would fall out.  George stopped and looked at me and said, “Dad, have you seen any babies fall out of the wagon today”?  I thought it was pretty funny and was telling Debbie about it in the car on the way home. George overheard, and jumped right into the conversation:  “Dad, only one fell out, but it was because the wagon tipped over”.  No big deal, right?!

One man’s comedy…

May 4th, 2001

5/2001 Yesterday morning I went in to awaken George for school. Since it was an early morning – I figured I would need a little incentive to get him up and dressed early. I laid his clothes out and told him if he was dressed in five minutes, he could play some Nintendo before breakfast. Surprisingly that wasn’t as effective as I’d hoped. So I started telling him some jokes. His reaction: “Dad, do you hear anyone laughing”? Actually – I was after he said that!
