He said: "Dad, can you help me clean it up?"
I said: "What happened in here?"
And he studied my face for a second to decide if I was mad or not before saying:
"Dad? Can you just say, sure?"
THAT got him out of trouble, and then Sweetie came by to see what was going on and said "What is going on here? What are you doing?"
To which he replied: "... I'm so crazy?"
ANNOUNCEMENTS: A new book, a free book, and lots of books:
The NEW BOOK: Andrew Leon, brilliant author of The House On The Corner and Shadow Spinner, among others great things, has a new short work out:
 |
| John has a problem, and it's a problem he needs to learn to control. Recognizing that John refuses to admit his issue, his best friends decide to deal out some revenge... and bake him some cookies. Come find out the explosive results when one teenager can't control his urge to fart on people. |
This is a change of pace for Andrew and the story is a great one. Plus, you'll get a bonus short story from me, of all people. My story is How You Gonna Keep 'Em Down On The Farm, and is about a future where vampire-like augurs have learned to draw power directly from humans and have started farming them.
For just $0.99, this is a great deal. Click here to go get this book.

Oh, man, I laughed so hard at that my kids had to come over to see what I was laughing at. They didn't get it.
Woot! That sounds like a story I want to read!
That's a great line. Did you ever find out why the powder was everywhere?
I wonder what he was doing... still.
I wonder if that line works just for kids or if I can use it someday???
Robin/Liz:
We have NO idea. We never get any answers. Just a zillion more questions. Raising my kids is like being an extra on the set of "Lost."
Andrew:
You didn't TELL them, did you? You'll give them ideas.
They thought I was laughing at the picture, so they just gave me funny looks.
