Where you wearing a turban by any chance - have a beard - taking
pictures - anything? :)

I have a beard and a tan. But I believe there was another factor at work
here. My 15 yr old son's girlfriend came by to see the new house earlier in
the day. She figured she'd just be sitting around, so she was wearing a
skirt that was too short while standing up, and totally outrageous (in a
good way) when sitting. My son asked if she could come fishing with us. I'm
sure she was totally visible as the CG boat (with its higher vantage point)
passed in the other direction, and was probably the only reason they made a
quick U-turn. :-)


Well then bring her with you to the insepction (of the boat) and have
her wear the same stuff ...

Worry no more

Hmm. That would probably work, although they'd probably want me to bring her
by about once a week. This girl's drop dead gorgeous. Fortunately or
unfortunately (not sure which yet), she doesn't realize it. My son does,
though. Yesterday, he was mowing the lawn while she was chattering at me
nearby as I tried to concentrate on changing the float assembly in the
boat's gas tank. She re-crossed her legs, he looked away from his work, and
put front 4" of the lawnmower through the basement window. Very nice.

I'm replacing the window glass with 1/4" plexiglass, since it's in a spot
where it's bound to be collided with again. Cost: $11.00. But, the lady at
the glass shop gave me a receipt for $57.25, just to see if my son turns
pale white when he sees the results of his inattention.

It's good to mess with teenagers' heads. :-)

You've got her messing with one while you're messing with the other.
Poor guy, or lucky guy, depending on who's doing the messing.

She's HIS problem, and based on her personality, she's the perfect intro to
what comes later. They argue constantly about meaningless bull****, and two
days later, they have no idea what they argued about. I think they're
married already. :-)

Then you'll love this! I'm still unpacking boxes after moving into the new
house. After box # 8,219, I don't care how much I rearrange closets,
etc.It's all a blur. So: There are two identical cabinets in the kitchen (as
opposed to the corner types, which are unique). Yesterday, one cabinet had
glasses, mugs & plates. The other had boxes of dry goods like cereal, rice,
flour, granola bars, etc. Before my son got home from school, I switched the
contents of the cabinets. When he headed for the kitchen for his 8:30 PM
snack ritual, I was in the living room, trying to contain my laughter while
he opened multiple cabinets and muttered to himself. Wednesday night, I'll
do it again. I figure it'll work about 10 times before he focuses enough to
yell. Only a live George Carlin show is better than this.

It's informal research of a sort, after reading a Time magazine article
about the teen brain. Among other things, it said teens have practically NO
sense of continuity, which explains why a kid with a 3.9 GPA can't find his
shoes (or the cereal). :-)

LOL!!!

I just showed this to my wife and the first thing she said "Why didn't
we think of that?"

I went through this with four kids - two girls and two boys.

Actually, I miss those days. :)

Heh...

When we moved the stepson unloaded a lot of the boxes - most were labled by
room.

Then he says.... "The last one had no label - but it had a number 69 on
it, so I put it in the bedroom."
