[QUOTE="Fiery_Dragon, post: 4757857, member: 83336"] Here is a short story about why I think my kids are awesome. We live in a relatively new house -- it's 2 years old, but we were the last to move into the neighborhood, so we only waited for a few months to get grass and driveways and such. One thing we've lived without in our suburban paradise is a fenced-in back yard. So, I was talking with my neighbor, and he's really eager to get his yard fence done, 'cause he's got really little kids and keeps getting his patio furniture stolen... and we agreed on a contractor (who was doing the neighborhood) and things were moving for this week. So, the contractor leaves a flyer at my house before coming over to talk, and I leave it out on the table. Across the top, it has their company name "H & R FENCING" My kids see this and get really, really excited. "Excellen!," they shout, holding the flyer up over their heads. I figure it's due to the prospect of playing outside without parental supervision. "We're going to learn how to swordfight!" Yeah, they saw the word "fencing" and their first thought was sword fighting. These are usually the times when my wife looks at me and says, "Well, that just proves that they are your kids..." - James [/QUOTE]
