A First



The kids (and I for that matter) had a first while camping. We brushed our teeth outside. It was a lot closer than making the 1/4 mile trek to the bathrooms.

You're a rookie! I can't tell you how many times I brushed my teeth outside on my many family vacations! Of course, the potty's were always just the pit ones, so we obviously didn't want to brush there. So, it was outside, spitting in the grass. And, you think your family vacations were bad? Let me just ask you this - did you have a toilet that flushed? 'Nuf said.

You go girl (Connie)!!! Calling Annie a rookie is being generous. Many other names come to mind. She stayed in an air conditioned, running water motel room every night. Every meal was hot and tasty. No bugs, no animals, her loving daddy tucking her in at night. At one time she even listened to my "now when I was your age" stories. Ditto, 'nuf said.

First of all, Dad, no 60 y.o. should ever use the words "you go girl." Second of all, like you ever tucked me in. You were too busy pouring over the AAA book to see where our next battle site would take us. Thirdly, I cringe at your use of "ditto, 'nuf said." What's next? That hideous "Git 'er done" saying? And finally, the one "when I was your age story" that is most prominent in my mind is the one where you taught my uncle to use a bad word in place of "truck" when he was little. Bad Poppy

Come on, Annie! Give your Dad a break! Afterall, he's not that much older than Ray. I'm trying to think of what Ray would say instead of "You go girl" and really - it wouldn't be appropriate for your Dad to say that to me. wink wink, Mr. Jordan. I do have to say, though, I don't think we ever visited a battle site on our family vacations - we just went to a mountain somewhere in the west and camped out. Did a lot of hiking and breathing fresh air. But no history lessons, thank God!
