I was reminded today of something my youngest son said when he was about 4. Even at this age he was already an expert on the ways of the wild. He had seen enough Animal Planet to know what was going on when a herd of wildebeest suddenly takes off running in a panic. It was from this vast store of knowledge that he warned us one day to watch out because his toy animals were about to "STAND IN PEE!!!"

STAMPEDE!!!

Cute story Rac, gave me a good laugh to start the day.
I can remember years ago on a family weekend to the beach my daughter asking me why the sun got so big and fat just before it went down and me in all my worldly wisdom explained to her that it got so big because it had to suck up all the daylight so it could get dark.
Not too long ago we were reminiscing about our family vacations here and there and she mentioned that was still the most plausible explanation she had ever heard for this phenomona. Aside from the sad commentary this evokes on our public education system here in the Florida Commonwealth it does illustrate one thing for sure.
Memories of your children's years growing up are priceless. They are so pure, innocent, trusting and worship the ground upon which you walk.
Then...they grow up and come to realize that you are as full of shit as everyone else.
True dat Doug. My young-uns are at that age now, where they know it all and I'm basically... you know, like you said... full of shit.
Dave, I believe it was Samuel Clemens (best one liner of all time) who said. "When I was 17 I could not believe how stupid my father was. When I turned 21, I could not believe how much he had learned".
Funny indeed! The pic meminds me of a 'National Lampoon' movie I saw over and over again1
Hey this reminds me of Soilent Green.Is this for real and if so where. Has to be cg's. Let me know!
Joanna, which Soilent green did you watch. They were all dressed in the one I saw. Bring the necked one with you. Just kidding
DRL, The one I saw was about sci-fi basically in that it looked into the future of what people would do with the aging(Manamko'). Toward the end you'd realize the old folk were being processed for food for the people younger. I think Charlton Heston was the star?:)
I don't remember necked people:)
Thats what I am saying. In the movie, they were all dressed. In the picture here, they are all neked.
RAC, I just thought of this. If someone is "STAND IN PEEEE!!!!!, some others arn't standing in it. ooooooooooo, thats sick.
DRL, Hopefully we can have a conversation...with everyone.It travels at light but, I'll post than "pop" another post in between.Weird but, awesome!
Oh It's naked.No clothes on.My Dad ingrained correcting English in my brain.No offense:)
Joanna, cool, looking forward
Dave, just say it. We raise them and they turn on us:) Just like we were...rebellious.Yet, they truly love us.I tell my daughter that almost everynight when she's asleep and awake of course:)She knows!!!
Joanna, sorry, "neked" comes from the Ray Stevens song "I's me again Margret". "Are you neked, heeee". I still say it that way.
OH. You do talk like that. Sound's alright to me.
I really disike when my girl talks sarcastically, like I'm Full of @#$%. I just time her out. Im like my Dad in that way. She's so pretty.I have to plant cactus under her window:)Oh,I'm biased:) Truly.We all love our children.
