Dad-isms

My Dad's 50th birthday is coming up in a couple weeks. If you know my dad, you would agree he is one of the most fun people to hang around. For his birthday, I decided to start a blog with all the funny dad stories I can think of...and there are many, trust me. Here is the blog address http://50effanyears.blogspot.com/ Please check back often, because I hope to be working on it around the clock.

And, Dad, if you find this,

"Happy 50th Birthday! You're the best!"

"PS. According to Sharon, who is older than you, you're not old 'til you're 92."

Opossum logic

This is why I love my Dad. My sister was taking the trash out at her house and when she lifted the lid off the can she noticed a litter of baby opossums in the bottom of it. She didn't know what to do so she called my dad and the dialogue went a little something like this:

Meags: Daddy, there are baby opossums in my trash can, what should I do?
Dad: Give them water, they're thirsty.
Meags: Really? How do you know they are thirsty?
Dad: Fill the can all the way up with water and put the lid back on.
Meags: DADDY!
Dad: Well, what do you want to do? Let them loose and run them over another time with your car instead?

I love roadkill stories.
