family - you gotta love em




I must admit that I have the family that is the original 3 stooges. They completely play off of each other and usually I am the brunt of all jokes, qurks, clips, etc. "hey boy - gotta go to kroger do you need anything?(nice mom - offering to pay for useless crap) For goodness sakes mom (standard kroger fare). Ten years ago we went to this little italian restaurant. I order a bottle of wine and the girl brings it to the table and pours a little in the glass for the taste and sniff. Ten years later - wine at the table. Oh boy do I get the "Wait, wait - we must get the booookkkk first right mom". And this randomly happens everytime the three stooges get together.




But, revenge is sometimes sweet when you least expect it. Christmas Eve 2006 - Pretty good year for everybody. Made alot of money that year working for Pinky and the Brain. Anyway - Xmas eve - my adult children still have to open presents on xmax eve so Papa stooge decided that they would get gag gifts from "The Christmas Story" starring ralphie. So we carefully wrapped the gifts in extremely gaudy paper and placed them under the tree. Xmas eve arrives - we want to open a present. Papa Stooge rants and raves and hands the un-knowing gag giftees their presents. Girl Stooge opens first - A blue ball. Boy stooge then chants - let it be a can of simonize and behold it was. They were gag-gifted!


Christmas 2007 - Papa Stooge receives LIVE gag gift from girl stooge of "not a creature was stirring not even a MOUSE


Christmas 2008 - All out of ideas so boy stooge receives a pair of white patent leather loafers (Unlce Eddie on National Lampoon Christmas Vacation) and girl stooge receives a busted hub-cap replacement from Papa Stooge. Don't know what we can do this year - 11 months and 13 days to think about it.
