Really??? Because we didn't have a school yet? Didn't your mom work there when we first started?

That is a true story. I am not sure if she worked there the first year or not. I think maybe the second year because the first year is when I lost my eye, and she wasn't at the school when that happened.

"Well did you see what Dizzy wrote about ....,"
"and then Pastor Poster said"....
"Well yeah but Rico said",
"but what do you think Ferd meant by...",
"and RandyWayne was hilarious when he wrote..."
"Yeah but on that other thread, 1399 made the point that..."
"Well Rhoni and Renda both shot them down..."
"And Sister Alvear was asking about...."
"Rico and Dan were going at it again..."
"ReformedDave has been there, though, and he said..."
"Abundant Grace changed his profile picture..."
"Amazing Grace made me laugh when..."
"DividedThigh and Sam were discussing..."

Finally, after a few minutes my daughter (looking completely confused and flustered) Blurted out,
"WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?".... :ursofunny

I just about fell on the floor laughing!

Ohhhh didn't mean to bring back bad memories!!
It is actually the greatest party trick, ever!
When I used to teach kindergarten, I would tell my kindergarteners the story and explain about being nice on the playground...
They always asked for details....

Not to mention, for a short time Andrew was subbing at the school where I work when he was waiting on Bar results... Nothing gives you more credibility with a middle schooler than being able to take out your eye!

lessons I have learned from being married to a one-eyed man...
Never ask him to keep an eye on the kids

Never ask him to keep an eye out for something

Oh Lord! My uncle has a glass eye and has done some rough tricks on my kids too! Drives me insane but is definitely hysterical when you forget to tell them and they find out the hard way!
