Why did you quit your job as a doctor?

Mama yang and big daddy go for the first big school conference when beano is in kindergarden. We are given all the test results, told that beano should probably be held back at the end of the year and then big daddy is presented with the question. Why did you quit your job as a doctor to go to work for the railroad?(says Ms. Smith). Huh? will have to ask beano about that one. Evidently beano has seen the picture from when he was born and had seen dad in scrubs and assumed that dad had been a doctor in his earlier life but loved the railroad so much that he quit to be a railroader. What happens when you assume?

Family time - Big Daddy and I went to help gissaner do some exterior housework yesterday in A-town. Big Daddy taught gis how to use the pressure washer - they were fighting over the pressuer washer by the end of the day. Got alot of stuff and great sense of accomplishment for everyone. It was a good day. We love our daughter very much and are very proud of her.

You look like a tiger

So, living with the three stooges over the years has created quite a long list of family stories. So I will attempt to chronicle these in no particular order until I get them all in.



Beano age 14, gisaner age 15. Beano wants to be the cool guy and dye his hair blonde like all the other guys on the 9th grade baseball team. Gissaner dyes hair for him. Big Daddy comes home and all hell breaks lose. "You look like a frickin leopard with all those spots on your head" Mom sent to kroger for brown hair dye to cover the leopards spots. Gissaner never had figured out why she got grounded for this one......................
