Pull my finger, and other such tales.

Alright.

Here is the post you have all been waiting for.

Well, you probably didn't even remember this post was coming.

But let's pretend.

You know.

For kicks and grins.

Thank you for all the questions for Mr. Lumberjack to answer.  He is super thrilled that I have arranged for him to blog at this hour, seeing as how he just got home from Bible study and is currently putting mud on the sheet rock in our new laundry room.

And it is 9pm.

Interruption:  I am not speaking of actual mud, like from dirt and water.  There is a special sort of mud you actually buy at large home improvement warehouses and you are required to smear it on sheet rock.

Who knew?!

So, I will type the questions out in bold and he will answer them in normal font.

Okie-dokie, Artichokies!

Let's do this!

*Disclaimer:  As hard as it was for me, I did not edit or change any of his answers, except I did correct a few spelling errors. 

I firmly believe that "sorry" should never be spelled "soory."

Thank you.

Questions from Little Brown House:

Why, oh why, do you find it such a struggle to smile in photographs? Do you feel that real men don’t smile? And how did you manage to pass that trait down to your youngest child?

There are so many pictures that get taken in this household that it gets a little overwhelming at times and maybe the children feel the same as me. Just a thought not much of a smiler.

And lastly, do you have a brother named Jason? And if so could we see a picture?

Yes I have a brother named Jason and I will let my wife take care of pictures.

Back to Taylor.

Please take note that I am back to my usual centering habit.

It's what I do best.

Well, there you have it, folks.

I have a feeling that I am a little wordier than my husband.

Thoughts?

And, apparently, I am smokin'  hot!

I kid!

I jest!

I am not hot.

But I am happy to have a husband who thinks so.

In one of his questions, he mentions me doing crazy things, such as the pull my finger story, hitting my head on the door, and driving with the emergency brake on.

And I would like to take a moment and address those.

The Pull My Finger story is a moment in my life that I shall never live down.

It is simply a conversation that occurred between me and The Lumberjack about one month after we were wed.

Enjoy.

Me:  Hon.  I think there is something wrong with me.

LJ:  What?

Me:  Everytime I pull my finger, nothing happens.

LJ:  Huh?

Me:  You know how other people say, "Pull my finger." and then they *ahem* toot?

LJ:  Yes . . .

Me:  Well, when I pull my finger nothing happens.  No toots.  Is there a trick?

LJ:  Are you serious?

Me:  Yes.  It doesn't work for me.

LJ:  You've got to be kidding me.

Me: Huh?

And then my dashing, and patient, husband explained to me that when folks say pull my finger, the actual pulling of the finger does not cause the *ahem* toot to occur, but rather, the person already felt the need to *ahem* toot, and therefore takes advantage of the impending *ahem*toot to play a joke on an innocent bystander.

You learn something new everyday.

Regarding the door, I wrote a post about that back when I had just my five original readers.

Hi Mindy, Jessy, Sharyl, Lani, and Melissa!

Anyways, if you would like to read about that adventure, click here.

And the emergency brake one . . . that will be a story for another day.

Alright!

Happy Tuesday!

I am taking the dudes and going to visit my dear friend, Amanda, and she might even make me a latte!

Holla!

What are you all up to on this fine, Tuesday morn?
