Cousins Week and the Chinese Restaurant

Today after a trip to take the cousins to Tombstone we went to the chinese buffet for dinner. The fortune cookies were in rare form, here's a sampling:
Grandpa: A smile is a curve that can get a lot of things straight ... in bed!
Grandma: There is no need to move if you can wiggle ... in bed!
Rachel: If there is a no wind there will be no wave ... in bed!
Caitlyn: An understanding heart warms all that are graced with its presence ... in bed!
Leora: If you look in the right places you can find some good offerings ... in bed!
Angie: A short saying oft contains much wisdom ... in Bed (Grandma's translation ... be quiet ... in bed!)
Heston: Allow compassion to guide your decisions ... in bed!

Like the man said, "my future's so bright I gotta wear shades" ... in bed!

Never have kryptonite for BreakFast!



Well it was a tough day in Smallville today. Superman was slipped a kryptonite-mickey in his blender pancakes. We think that Lex Luther, desguised as the faithful family hound, Bosco, slipped a little kryptonite into Supermans Pancakes when no one was looking. This unfortunate cycle of events was not detected until Superman lost his balance while perched high above the limites of a normal dining room chair and plumeted to a near fatal "crash" at the foot of Grandma Jones's table near the staircase landing. Now normally, such an incident would have gone un-noticed by the citizens of Smallville. And likely would have this time too, if it were'nt for stoic demeanor on Superman's face and splattered blood across his chest. At this point we realized that someone had poisoned Superman with Kryptonite. As a result Superman (and his mommy) had to make a rush to the emegency room where superman was given 3 staples to ensure that his brains didn't fall out and a popcycle because he had faced the staple process without fear or crying; well, almost anyway. But never fear, Superman is back on the job tonight making sure that Smallville, and the rest of Cochise County, are safe from illegal border runners, garden chickens, and scarry black bugs. We keep looking for a big Toad, but so far haven't seen one.
