For someone as smart as you are, you sure are dumb.

My Grandpa used to say that all the time. My memory is that he said it to my brother the most. I remember him being very smart, but not always using his common sense. Things are different now. Or are they?

Well, since I have "little Joe" living in my house, things are not that different. My son is smart. Ok sneaky is more like it. He knows right from wrong, but sometimes can't process the difference in time to make the right decision. (This is not the part that I think is like Joe...smarts was the commonality.)

One such incident: He knows the bad words. (I thank Kevin for this.) He knows that he should not use them. However, when he got mad at school the other day he forgot another rule. S*P*E*L*L*I*N*G it is just as bad. And who in the world taught my boy how to spell the "F" word???!!!

ohMAword.

Tonight he is having a hard time eating his hamburger bun. Why he did not want it with his sandwich, I don't know. Told me he would eat it by itself later. Later turned out to be yucky. Toast it and add butter. Still yucky.

Eventually, I made a deal. Eat the parts with cheese. Little sneaker was taking the cheese off to avoid eating the whole thing. Oh Boy! He's gonna be a tough one to raise.

God Bless the Children.
