Man - I used the Beeno!
I mean - I used to LOVE the Beeno!
my dad still does...and he just turned 50!
Hee hee...There's a 12year old boy in all of us...I thought it was just me!
my dad is the biggest kid of all. my bro bought him a box, the length of your arm, of marshmallows! his christmas wish list consisted of marshmallows, beano annual, war comics, chocolate!!
i felt it necessary to buy him terry virgos grace book to grow him up!
Ha ha! He sounds cool! My dad's wish list consisted of a bottle of whisky and err...that was it really...
yeah he is. though he gets very serious too...he likes his big theology discussions. but he's a teddy bear really!
hes out of a job come february...church got a new pastor. hes very happy!
whats your dad like?
My dad's cool! He wasn't around too much when I was younger but we're good buds now.
He's like 'mr popular'! Everyone knows and loves my dad. We'll go out for a few drinks every now and then and we'll always run into his mates everywhere. It's kinda' sweet cause' he always shows me off to them like, 'this is my son and I'm so proud of him!'
I love my dad...he's a dude! of all his brothers my dad has the most funk! What more can I say about him!?
What's your dad gonna' do come Feb?
he sounds VERY cool!! how many uncles/aunts do u have?
erm, hes not sure. probably some kind of teaching again. supply or something...i think they should adopt some kids, or go and teach in a missionary school somewhere... (both kinda options)
i think it also depends on a court hearing he has in jan...on your birthday actually.
Oh man - I have LOADS! My family kinda' fell apart when I was younger so I don't have too much to do with my extended relatives now...That's why my cousins (brothers/ sisters?)are so important to me.
They should adopt!
Court hearing? Is that something deeply personal that yuo don't want to talk about on a blog?
yeah i have loads too...my dad has 5 brothers and sisters who all have kids and then alot of them have kids too. my mum has a brother and a sister and they have kids and a couple are married there too....craziness. i love it.
its to do with when my dad fell off his bike and landed on his head...i dont know how much i can say publically!! some other time...x
yeah i think adopting is a fab idea.
something id consider for the future too i think.
I bet Christmas is expensive with all that lot!
Did you see the episode of friends when Chandler told a kid he was adopted!?
nope...?
though i used to think i was adopted...which is so stupid. i look so much like my parents and brother its ridiculous. i just thought i wasnt loved. :(
er...it was very funny...nevermind that...
oh..:+( we'll have to exchange our stories properly at some point.
You seem to get on with your folks now though right? Baking cookies with your mum and all that...?
haha, yeah, ill look forward to that.
yeah absoltuely. i was totally loved. i was just always insecure. sure there were complications, mainly in later years, but i actually had a really great childhood and am really blessed to have the parents i have. your childhood was kinda different right?
weve now been talking for an hour and a half via blog. this is silly!! phone calls are so much better.
