The follies of youth

Just a quick note, before I forget, on how Kevin makes his parents laugh.

1)  We were discussing colleges the other day, he mentioned, “what about Dartmouth?”

pronounced Dart-mOWth….

Parents look at him and say, suuuuuure, just go and interview and say it just like that.

2)  We were discussing how old his Dad is now, and somehow, ended up wandering around the topic of slowing down as you get older (I think Suzanne was teasing me, and there might have been a viva viagara commercial on tv)  And Kevin blurts our “Well, Dad that doesn’t matter, you can’t do it anymore anyway”

Dad looks at him funny, Mom starts laughing…..

turns out Kevin has translated my ‘fixed’ condition into the same thing as Wiley’s ‘fixed’ condition.  Mom and Dad have a really hard time stopping laughing.  Mom laughs even harder as Dad tries to explain this one!
