Oh look, Chicken Thursday!

In last Sunday's mailing, the video share was of an amazing Oboe performance - apparently not! It was an amazing performance, but the instrument being played was actually a clarinet. Thanks to G. Taylor and J. Westberg for catching that!

Now, if you are a recent subscriber, you may have wondered how I could be so dumb as to not know the difference between and oboe and a clarinet. If you are not a subscriber, you stopped wondering about me a long time ago and have stuck around simply out of morbid curiosity about what I will misidentify next!

To be fair, I first saw that video on Facebook, where it was described as an oboe performance. It's getting pretty bad when you can't even trust Facebook to be accurate!

Today's video share is fun race between some different animals. However, after this whole oboe/clarinet debacle, I'm not sure all of these are real animals. You be the judge.

When little Johnny received his plate he started eating right away.

"Johnny wait until we say our prayer."

"I don't have to," the boy replied.

 "Of course, you do," his mother insisted. "We say a prayer before eating at our house."

"That's our house," Johnny explained. "But this is Grandma's house, and she knows how to cook!"

I put some turnips, my eleven-year-old son's least-favorite vegetable, on his dinner plate and instructed him to eat everything. He cleaned his plate, except for the turnip.

I pointed out to him that if he'd eaten it earlier, he wouldn't have been left with its taste in his mouth at the end of the meal.

Thoughtfully, he replied, "I guess I was just trying to delay the inedible."

Early in their marriage, my Dad did something really stupid. My Mom chewed him out for it. He apologized, they made up.

However, from time to time, my Mom mentioned what he had done.

"Honey," my Dad finally said one day, "why do you keep bringing that up? I thought your policy was 'forgive and forget.'"

"It is," she said. "I just don't want you to forget what I've forgiven and forgotten."
