While touring the Illinois side of the Mississippi River we stopped at Buck's Barn Golf Resort to get something to eat. We were seated by the windows looking out towards the golf course. These were big windows with a nice view UNTIL...........................

A little boy, about 4-5 years old......... came up next to the flowers ..... ....looked around....... but did not look ahead.......... pulled down his pants................and begin to pee on the flowers.......right SMACK in front of us.Okay I raised 2 boys and there were times while we were driving and no restroom near so we had to pull over to let them pee. This little guy was only a few feet away from a public restroom. Just seconds later they came in to purchase some snacks and the mother in me was thinking...... how he was using the same hand he just used.....now to eat his snack............... If he would have used the restroom he could have washed his hands.


Last weekend we were at the flea market. Crickett loves tin signs and normally these get his attention. He came across a tin sign that was shaped as a oil can.

Here is the conversation
Crickett: "How much for the signs?"
The guy: "$100"
Crickett: "Are you kidding"
The guy: "I spent more than that on them"
Crickett: (as he is walking away) "It sucks to be you!"
Me: well I am silent, but I slap him on his shoulder.
Crickett: "Oh, did I say that out loud?"

Of course he knew he said it out loud...................
