OT I checked out that Tornado Technologies web page. LOL "Your source for everything." Sounds like a penny stock tout. The monkey video is pretty funny. Those boys are sure clever. DSD

That kid's pushing his luck. I just opened my fortune cookie. You know how you've read them all? Well, get this one: You may attend a party where strange customs prevail. MJ's is: You have great physical powers and an iron constitution. So I know I got the right one.

We had a wooden spoon we used. "The Spanking Spoon". Okay penni. I spent more than 35 years forgetting about the dreaded wooden spoon, and in one fell swoop you go and trash more than three decades of nepenthean effort. There it is again, right back in the forward right lobe of the ol' cerebrum. There it would sit, baleful in the kitchen utensil drawer, awaiting a transgression of sufficient moment for it to be unveiled in its malevolence. For truly heinous acts, though, beyond even those that warranted the wooden spoon, there was -- the hairbrush. Has the same ring to it that I got when I saw the torture chamber at Salzburg Fortress.

With any luck at all (perhaps some of your stock picking luck applies here), Ammo will be blessing you with a little Ammoette in a few years (think in terms of months) hatched by some as yet unmet scrawny little thing that vaguely reminds you of yourself 25 years ago...Rambiette. Then you get to do the old hug and fuss over baby snookums all over again! But this time you can shoo her off to her proud parents when its spoon time. Duck and cover.

I remember the, "spanking paddle" it had a string on the end for hanging in the hallway and some funny saying in blue and red letters! I forget what it said, which is very convenient for my peace of mind. Being an angel, I seriously doubt whether I ever needed it and am not convinced that there wasn't some seriously deep, dark reason that only existed in the mind of the welder of said paddle. I feel better already, thank you.. Angel

Funny, Ben definitely got spanked more than Nick. You allude to a number of reasons that apply here as well, but my younger, Nick, is far more stubborn, he is also less prone to get into trouble. Ben finally finished the paper while I was out driving Chris to drop off his car at the mechanics. I came back and wanted to proof it, there were only four typos, three of them capitalization errors, one was just poor construction. I guess Word Perfect takes care of a lot of these things these days. Now all he has to do is finish the cross-stitch that was due last Monday. I would have done that for him, but I can't figure the stitch out, it's not regular cross stitch and it's not any needlepoint stitch I know. He is taking Family Life, this quarter sewing, next quarter cooking. I should have put my foot down and insisted on a foreign language, but he already has so much homework and I thought this would be fun. He is doing a flame-breathing dragon, it's actually quite nice, I suppose he won't get a good grade because it's late. The Odessey of the Mind competition is Saturday, I am secretly crossing my fingers and hoping they lose so he will have more free time to work on schoolwork.
