As mentioned previously … the video with the Zombie and I. As you will see, it didn’t go exactly as planned.
I *was* going to use The Donnas ‘Dancing with Myself’ for the song – but it wouldn’t let me. If you so desire, here’s that song.
I wrote before about my brilliant camping strategy – who needs a tent when you have a mini-van and a short body?
One morning, I’m not sure if my sister had also slept in the mini-van or not, but we were both in there. I took the middle section (fit for two people sitting – prior to the popularity of the ‘quad bucket seats’), and she took the far back (fit for three people sitting).
We woke up and saw that our dad was the only tent-sleeping person awake. He was getting the camping stove ready for a breakfast.
Since my dad was in the Army, M.R.E.’s were a staple food on our camping trips. An MRE is a “Military Readiness Meal” and it is a powerful punch of calories. High on calories, low on satisfied customers. Though I’m pretty sure I thought they were awesome (I even got some one time, thinking my then-girlfriend and I would have a picnic lunch of MRE’s … What can I say, I’m a romantic). For breakfast that day he was fixing up something different. It was a special day not for that reason though.
E$, my sister, and I noticed – who’s dad talking to? He’s definitely talking. Oh yeah, his mouth is moving and he’s jabbering like crazy.
But no one was there.
My dad, if the wheels are really turning, can’t help but mouth the words. He doesn’t say them out loud (not yet?, eh Mom?), but you can tell when he’s really thinking. I’m allowed to make fun of him for many reasons – but one of them is that I’m already starting to do this.
E$ and I had a blast sitting in the car, watching our dad talk his head off. To himself.
A special day, for a special man. ZING!
(Again, it’s only a matter of time before this is me.)
From the Bible, Matthew 15:35-15:36, “He [Jesus] told the crowd [4000 people] to sit down on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, and when he had given thanks, he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and they in turn to the people. They all ate, and were satisfied.”
Original Fish: Wow! What is happening here?
Second Fish: Hey buddy! Aren’t you a handsome fella! (Laughs.)
Original: STOP THIS! STOP THIS MADNESS!
14th Fish: You know, normally I don’t like big crowds – but this group I feel like I can get along with. (Laughs.)
Original: Why? Why is someone cloning so many of me!
30th Fish: Is it a little hot in here or is it just all of you! (Laughs.)
Original: You know – you’d think someone would have a little respect for nature, and how God made us – but this guy here is just recreating me willy-nilly.
42nd Fish: Hey let’s sing row-row-row your boat! Staggered start-times and everything! Ready? Row-row-row your boat …
Original: Why would someone even clone so many of many?! What is the purpose?!
100th Fish: Oh how embarrassing – we’re all wearing the same thing! (Laughs.)
Random Human: Let’s eat!
Original: Oh.
Now you know why fish have that googly-eyed shock look all the time. Buh-dum-dum!
