GOLDILOCKS?


In need of hibernation, Daddy Bear was mildly perturbed to discover this unlikely duo curled up in his bed.

THE EARLY BIRD CATCHES THE WORM

12:45 PM, July 4th, 2011 - 
Dad saunters in to oldest son's room, turns on the overhead light and says, "Rise and shine, son. It's time to get up and at 'em." 
Son, with covers pulled tightly up over his head, angrily replies, "Why do I have to get up so early!" 
Can hardly wait 'til this one reaches his teen years ...

HATCHING AN EVIL PLAN

In getting ready for our garage sale this weekend, we stumbled across my old typewriter. I considered selling it. But, after my wife showed the kids how it worked, and seeing how excited they got, I changed my mind.
"It's better than a computer!" giggled my daughter almost uncontrollably.

And with that knowledge, I hatched a plan. 
Instead of selling it, I will store it for another 8 years. 
Then, when the time is right, I will wrap it up all nice and pretty in pink paper with a big purple bow, and give it to my daughter as a gift before she heads off to college.

When she opens the present and invariably throws a fit at such an outdated form of technology, I will smile and earnestly say, "Hey! It's better than a computer." 
*Evil laugh*
