Subject: The Moore Household

One time at Sunday dinner, with the entire family present, I was going on about how the "Man of the House" (namely me) is largely ignored. I asked what it was I had to do to get some attention from them all.

My three-year-old Granddaughter said, "Try crying Pop-Pop."

I can still remember when our son was young and in elementary school. His favorite position to do homework was on the living room floor, sprawled in front of the TV's dim light.

One time Mrs JimJr saw me looking at him and said, "Kind of reminds one of a modern day Abe Lincoln, doesn't it ?"

Mrs JimJr once made the mistake of putting me in full charge of our first Granddaughter who was still a toddler. I would have done fine too, had not the CowBoys been in a tuff football game.

Next thing I knew, I heard this thumping noise, and to my alarm Christina had fallen down the 6 steps leading from the main to the lower level. Well, other than a scare, she wasn't hurt, as it was all carpeted.

Mrs JimJr, hearing the commotion, yelled from the kitchen, "What was that ?"

I said, "You missed it. Christina just took her first steps."

We hosted my son's wedding rehearsal dinner, and I was holding court on marriage and commitments, etc.

My son, who had obviously heard enuff, spoke up and said, "My Father tells it like it used to be."

Speaking of chores, one Sunday I was watching football on TV and as the second game came on, Mrs JimJr asked if I was going to till the veggie garden.

I told her I would think about that in a while, at the moment, I was busy thinking about mowing the lawn.
