Junior

My oldest wanted to know what "Jr." meant in a name.  We told him that if you are named after your father normally you add a "Jr." after your name.  I said for instance, I was close to being called Ronald Ray Jr.  My wife said then we would of had to buy you a cowboy hat and my son said "Yee-haw."  It's so funny the directions some conversations lead to.  He said he wanted to name his boys Tidadon and Mistersaurs Rex.  Well, I guess he didn't like the junior idea.  Oh, I spoke too soon.  He said it had to be named a dinosaur name but with junior in it, like Junior Tops.  It's so funny.  I guess that's what I get for having a somewhat big family.  They think about having kids when they are young.

My wife said you can name your kids whatever you want.  She then went on to tell him of a name I came across years ago.  I used to work at a Customer Service job for an insurance company.  The agent warned me prior to pulling up the account not to laugh too hard.  I had to repeat it though to verify I had the right account.  First, I hit the mute button for a few seconds and then responded, "Is this policy on Harry..umm..Harry Butt?"  I couldn't hold myself.  I had to hit the mute button again.  I really feel bad for that guy.

Clutter

We told our kids that we are going to go through their toys and sort out what we want and don't want anymore.  Some toys they never play with and we have had for years.  For instance, stuffed animals, (with the exception of Beanie Babies and dolls).  My son questioned me, "How would you like it if we went through your stuff and decided what you get to keep."  Time for a father-son moment here.  Needless to say after weighing out the pros and cons, I no longer need to work and he is going to take on the responsibility of providing for the family.  We just got several inches of snow.  I'm sure he can make a lot of money shoveling driveways.  LOL.  It reminds me of a couple of Cosby episodes.

Who did it?

So lately we have discovered drawings on the wall, on the couch, on the table, and on the floor.  If that wasn't bad enough, we just found that someone wrote on our youngest daughter's head with an orange highligher.

Bumper Stickers

I know this probably isn't the most appropriate but it caught me off guard when a friend of mine told me.  He said that the other day, he saw a bumper sticker that read, "STAY BACK. I MAY FLICK A BOOGER AND IT WILL LAND ON YOUR WINDSHIELD."  Again, I know its not the content that I will probably post on my blog too often, but for originality it gets a 10.  My wife has a great idea for a bumper sticker but I will have to keep that one quiet until she makes it.

Bagels vs Water

I went to Panera Bread this morning to grab some bagels for breakfast.  As we were eating, my son told me that his feet hurt.  It sounded like he may be a little bit dehydrated so we told him that he needed to drink some water.  His response, "my feet aren't telling me they need water.  They are telling me I need to eat a bagel one time."  Okay?

Chicken Eggs

I was told the other day from someone I know that you can tell the color of the egg that the chicken will lay by the color of its ears.  Please tell me what exactly do chicken ears look like?
