Happy Feather's Day


Mistaking Father's Day for Feather's Day, Herbert joined his family for Sunday morning service dressed in his wife's pink boa. Unfortunately the congregation did not see the humor and Herbert landed in counseling. His children, Bobby and Susie sulked in corners and wore all black. "Mourning", they replied when asked. Poor Mary, Herbert's wife, was kicked out of the book club primarily because it's not considered gossip if the person's sitting right there. In the end, they are forced to move to a different town, flamigoville, where the plight of the flamingo is top priority. In hearing of Herbert's "mishap", he was made an honorary hero. The family becomes town royalty, Mary is made head of the book club and the children incorporate color into their wardrobe once more. The moral of the story is that men shouldn't wear boas and that whoever you are, there's a place that you'll fit in. It's all about finding the right family. And did I mention that men shouldn't wear boas?


HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to all the great dad's but especially to the special one in my life. Jude, (aka:) to MacGyver obsessions, Indiana Jones marathons, games of War with Lu, homemade ice cream and eight years of learning to be parents together. I look forward to figuring out the rest of it in the years to come as we become the parents God made us to be. We love you, Lu & Avery and all the CRAZY animals in this CRAZY house:)
