The Parents.....well at least thats who they claim to be

You know I was up at mom and dads house today and I came to realize that they have a lot of weird stuff in there. Like picures of all the kids but me. I decided that I was going to mow the lawn because dad was out of town and is only going to be back for a day or so tomorrow so I called him up to ask him where the bag for the lawn mower is. You may or may not know this but dad does not believe in using the bag when mowing the lawn I guess he likes the nice trail of cut grass that is left in a neat row behind the mower. Any way after convincing him to tell me where the bag was and using some of his covented garbage can space (my heck you have 2 garbage cans and only 2 of you live there!) I was able to tame the front lawn. After this I had to call him again to find out where the wire was for the weed eater. After a 5 minute lecture that it was tough to thread and don't worry about it I will do it when I get back I finally convinced him to tell me where he hid it but only after threatening to sick mother on him. So after viciously attacking the enroaching weeds and grass with the weed wacker I had to call him AGAIN about where the edger was. Of course this very impotant lawn implement that should be stored in a garage is of course in storage in another city. This prompted me to really look around the garage.....bundles of romance books mixed with 5 different types of armour all and a few single swimming fins made me realize that what needed to be put into storage is the entire garage. Anyway other strange things that live in that house.....an electric organ that could very well blow up next time it is plugged in is stuffed under the stairs (how did you get that thing under there anyway?) A very nice stereo system hooked to a large TV and surrounded by nice white couch recliners that I belive mom and dad have only sat on once in this year. also my favorite in the downstairs bathroom a bottle of lavender lotion that has hermetically sealed itself to the counter because it has not moved in so long. As I look at all these strange things I come to ask myself.....this really explains everything I mean look at Bryce, Niesja, Julie and Chance they are the weirdest people I know they had to come from something like this. As always remember they are our parents and there is nothing in that house that a good fire won't fix.

Love ya all
Justin

PS you know I did not know that Natalies middle name was Lorraine. That is Ivy's middle name also.

PPS Thanks for reminding me Niesja I always feel better when I write something.

Three cheers for Justin and Chance for staying behind and making sure mom and dad continue to function! In all seriousness, I'm not sure we have given you enough credit for driving mom around, helping out there, and handling the Hayes emergency hotline. I thought once Niesja left the problem would be solved... I was wrong!

Love ya Bro.

I love this, I laughed the whole way through it. I think we can all add our crazy little things that make us the way we are but I would never have it any other way! Life is so boring so if I didn't have myself to laugh at I think I would go nuts..
