This is a letter to Pete’s children….

Dear future grandchildren,

If you get to around the age of 13 and become very forgetful, please know that you got that from your father. Thursday Pete went to swim club and forgot his bathing suit. The coach made him do dry land (basically run laps and sit-ups around the pool) instead of actually swimming with the rest of his group.

Then, Friday Pete forgot his camouflage clothes. Yes, here we are at deer camp and the boy forgot his camo. I told him to make sure he was packed and he spent lots of time hunting for his socks and duffle bag…. But he forgot his clothes. He also forgot his pillow, a blanket and his broad head wrench.

I shook my head in disbelief as Jay found extra clothes for him to wear. Of course JD had to side with the only other male here and mentioned the time he went deer hunting and forgot his bow! ☺



Pepper (walking into the living room): Something smells really bad in here.
None of the kids move or respond.
Pepper: Is there garbage or something in someone’s backpack? Does anyone smell that?
Pepper walks around looking for whatever smells bad. She gets close to Pete and the shoes he has removed and steps back in horror.
Pepper: Pete, is that your FEET?! They smell horrible!!
Pete: Laughing, says “they aren’t that bad.”
Pepper has gone to get Lysol for his shoes and sends him up for an immediate shower.
She looks over to me, with genuine concern on her face and says, "That CAN’T be normal!”
