A.L. self portrait at the beach
” My father once forgot his bathing suit when we were at a friend’s cottage and so he waterskied naked”
Was that embarrasssing?
“Yes and we were never invited back”

“My brother is at the Calgary Stampede this week and he is going to eat Prairie Oysters”
What is that? All the campers asked
“It is bull’s testicles” the 9 year old responds
What is that? All the campers ask
His penis.
Yuck! Everyone screams.
“Actually it is not the penis, it is the balls,” I point out.
What are balls? All the campers ask.
Why do I not think before I speak? I really could have left this one alone.

“What do all of you want to be when you grow up?” My favourite question mainly because the answer is so diverse.
-a model
-a hockey player
– rich
-a mom
– Dr Doolittle
-you!
-smart
-a giraffe (?!)
How cute (and flattering!) it is that some little person wants to grow up to be YOU!! Excellent choice, I must say… xox
