Is it bad to call the military and tell them that your child who just turned 18 wants to enlist and they should come over and offer them ice cream to join the army?

Is it bad when the officer shows up and you have your kids bags all packed, and you tell your kid that they just won the lottery and this officer was assigned to escort them to get their winnings?

And is it bad to then change your phone numbers?

I mean is it real bad, because if it just bad, I think it is a good idea.

So much to write about...

For Christmas, my son got his 8th and 9th guitars. Each one seems to be louder than the one before.

My daughter found a wild lizard and swears the lizard loves her. I tried to explain to her that the poor thing was in shock since it was asleep in hibernation and therefore was delirious.

My other daughter moved away to college, and in case she gets cold feet and decides to come back home I suggested to my wife we immediately sell our house and buy the house next door, and if we get different cars she would never know where we lived.

My wife and I keep overcooking the cookies for Taylors and the only logical solution is to get extra ice cream to overcome the burnt edges.

I have decided to give my dogs, Houdini 1 and Houdini 2, the rest of the cookies so they will be too fat to jump over the fence.

I am so freaking glad the Holidays are over. I have gained so much around my waist I can see my dogs snickering when they look my way.

Most of you are probably aware of the term “Air guitar”. It’s when you pretend to play a guitar without a guitar actually present. I wish I was so lucky. Anyway, when my son isn’t playing a very loud guitar, he plays a very loud set of drums. Now on rare occasions he goes about the house playing his Air drums. This is a sight to see. He is fully into it, wearing his “noise canceling headphones” beating on air to the beat of whatever he is listening to.


Now, my question is, why do they call them noise cancelling headphones because my wife and I hear everything?


Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday.

I couldn't come up with anything, actually my wife said no I can't send it, so I have pulled a blog from 2013. Hope you like.

Here is my feeble attempt at my annual Christmas Song
Hark! I hear the Servers singing
Glory to the Holiday tidings
Chefs preparing the new whipped cream
Placed on cakes and with lots of feeling
Hostesses dancing in the aisles
Bringing lots of friendly smiles
Celebrating Christmas cheer
Bringing in the good New Year
Hark the bussers sing some more
Greeting patrons at the door
 
Hark!  Chris Harold sings a Christmas song
Asking all to sing along.
Children bouncing to the rhythm
Parents trying to keep from humming
Coffee pouring right from the pot
Coming out piping hot
Now is the time to dance and cheer
Christmas only comes this time of year.
Hark for family and special friends
Hopefully this season will never end.
