to one skinny guy...

Happy Birthday, Joe! Here are two lists just for you.

Five things that Joe finds funny (but most others do not):


    Himself.




    Giving nicknames to everyone. Often these make no sense, since the cultural references are a little dated. No one is safe from a nickname. As an adult, I've run into people Joe knows and realize I don't even know what their real names are.




    Passing gas while in a truck crowded with 9 kids on a LONG trip to Denver.



    Teasing all of us relentless...about anything and everything.



    Asking our boyfriends/girlfriends to say family prayer, even if they don't pray.



    Pretending we might have drumsticks for dessert and then offering canned cherries. Also, offering drumsticks, knowing that we will think it's cherries and get excused from the table, and then actually getting drumsticks out of the freezer.




    Five things that Joe enjoys:


    Watching TV and movies...even if the TV show is terrible and the movie is cheesy.


    Boys night out.


    Dancing.


    Western clothing, decor, activities, music, etc.


    Family.


    Embarrassing his children.


    Driving.


    The country.


    Wyoming, Montana, rural Idaho, any place that is remote and empty.


    Being teased back...just kidding, he hates that.

    Fact: Uncle Joe is great at dishing it, horrible at taking it back, I consider this to be a childish feature. But we all love Sloppy Joe! Also, he kind of looks like Woody from ToyStory. Another fact: I secretly love my nick name and always have, I think if he can give you a nick name then that's his way of telling you how much he loves you. So, love your nick name! 3rd fact: I just finished eating two drumsticks! :-) I think we need to go buy another box!
