Ty growled and growled at me this morning, earning himself the nickname of T-Rex Ty. Walking from the bedroom door to the laundry basked is about 12 feet and it tool him 5 stops to growl at me to get there. He growled throughout his shower, to the entertainment and […]
Early morning humor,… Note: Scott and one-liner comebacks don’t usually go together so points to him for that at 0530!! Mama: What’s wrong with you this morning, Scotty? Did you leave your sense of humor on your pillow? Scott: No, but I wish my head was on my pillow! Mama: […]
