I know that Russ and Anne will enjoy this in particularly. I would like everyone to know that today Dad successfully made TWO "your mom" jokes! This is most definitely a break-through for Dad. For those of you who don't know, Dad, Russ, Anne and I have had at least two separate longish conversations trying to explain what "your mom" is supposed to mean and imply.
Funny thing, though, is that Dad told a story today of when he was in the 9th grade he made some negative remark to a senior in his band. This same senior responded with, "Well, Blaine! Your mom wears combat boots." Apparently, Dad understood the "your mom" jokes all along. Reminds me of another thing Dad tricked us all on...
Last thing: You will all recall that for Christmas Padre received a Napoleon Dynamite calendar. You know, the kind that you tear off a piece of paper for each day. Every day has another quote from Napoleon Dynamite on it. On 6 June the quote -appropriately so- is:
Deb: Is anyone else home? I'm trying to earn money for college.
Kip: Your mom goes to college!
I thought this was not only a good fit but very coincidental and hilarious!
Ever so sincerely-
Angela

So, as I began to read I remembered that I had already read your post (but without leaving a comment). Thanks for sharing! Who will be left to make fun of Dad with us when you are gone?
Anne! I knew you would come through and read and leave a comment! Thank you. Well...maybe I could make fun of Dad in letters???
I suppose that will have to do, though it won't be quite the same as in person (or on the blog for all to see - oh, wait, you and I are the only ones who read this blog - still). Hope you're doing well back at home. Call me whenever you get bored or have a hankering to talk about footie pajamas. :)
P.S. Your mom wears footie pajamas!
