My new addiction

I have been playing with windows movie maker. It's fun. I wish I had a little more control over my options, but that's ok. Here's my latest creation.

Mr. Literal and some other stuff

Joshua is very literal. It's easy to mess with his mind. Family members often do. So last night, I was working on my table loom, warping it. I had five yards of yarn stretched from one side of the living room to the other. Joshua wanted to get across the living room. I said, "Go under the yarn." Joshua crawled under the yarn I was holding up, and just sat down.

Jeremy thinking Joshua had become distracted by the television began to fuss at him. "What are you doing, Son? You need to get out from under there!"

Joshua said with a very honest, innocent expression on his face, "But Mama said to get under the yarn."

He'll be ten next month. Sigh.

Jeremy decided to mess with Ruth's head the other day. He called home from work and pretended to be a campaign caller. She hung up on him before he got ten words out of his mouth.

"Who was on the phone?" I asked.

"Some political call," she replied in disgust. I didn't blame her, we had a call every five minutes it seemed.

Jeremy immediately called back laughing. This time I answered because I wanted to be the one to hang up. He asked, "Did I make Ruth hang up on me?"

"OH! Was that you?"

"Yes, I was pretending to be a campaign caller," he laughed.

Later that night at dinner, Jeremy repeated his telephone performance to the kids.

"OOOOOOH!!" said Ruth as the lights went on in her mind, "THAT WAS YOU!" she said accusingly.

Hannah,  who didn’t want to be left out of the conversation stated, "Jim Gerlach is EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVIIIIIIIIIIIIIL!"

I think I'm glad the election season is over.
