The Mud Bath

During the morning-chaos-routine, while 6 people are trying to get out of the house with one bathroom, Chris was q-tipping or something and Joe, mouth full of toothpaste, says "Why do adults always think it's so COOL to be CLEAN??"

Chris says "Well, why not buddy? What's wrong with that?"

Joe says..."don't you remember being a KID? It feels great to get mud splashed all over the place and be covered in it."

Whatever you say kid. I guess so.

Maybe I should see if I feel happier after rolling around in the mud? Would be cool if that's all it takes. The key to true happiness for a 7 year old boy. MUD.

Dad? WHo can work on a cruise? Can just anyone do it??

That was Kathryn's question on the wy into the car, headed for school.

So Chris says, "well, it helps id you have a skill that they need, like, I bartended so I could do that on a ship."

And Bryan, always the charmer, says "And you're really good at it too." At twhich point Joe chimes in and says "You and Eddy did get FIRED tho".
