...we're clever but we're clueless. We're just human...

Post July 4th conversation b/w Jonathan and Zachary (one of our part-time sons, he's 5)

Jonathan: Zach, we are going to sing the Star-Spangled Banner. Do you know our national anthem?
Zach: Nope. (pauses...then brightens) BUT, I can growl like a cheetah!

and when you live in a house with 8 kids, that's all that matters.

Growling like a cheetah has its benefits, however. You never know when it will come in handy. Burping the alphabet comes in second.

Hey, odd talents are popping up everywhere...we found out today that Warren is an expert forger already. Seriously. Lets just hope he uses it for good (i.e. making his parents rich).

God not only knew me before I was born, he told St. Augustine about me and MY special talent: wiggling my ears one at a time (see City of God, Book XIV, chapter 24). I can also growl like Tigger, serve as the soundtrack for telling the story of Noah and the ark, and as for burping, well, this is a family site, so I'll just leave that alone. Except to say that is how Papa lectured to us ROTC students. Our exams were really noisy.
