Dear So and So

DS#2 once answered the door stripped to his boxers when LDS missionaries were knocking. They ran like hell.

I'm sure they'd run like hell if I answered the door in my undies...

when my son was 16 years old and 6'6" tall he had waist length wavy dirty blonde color hair and heavy black eyebrows. Since I am an escaped Mormon, I can recognize the missionaries at 50 paces and refuse to answer the door. I looked out one afternoon, uttered a profanity and told the kids that I was not home and I was not answering the door. My son replied very cooly, "that's cool mom, I'll deal with it."

When the door bell rang, he cracked the door just enough to let his hairy head, one eyebrow and part of his hairy chest show and said "yes?" in a very deep voice. When they had finished their explanation he held up one rather dirty finger (we had been out front planting things) and said "wait!" Then he leaned back away from the door and shouted "never mind the goat guys, I found a couple of virgins!" and then slammed the door shut lauging maniacally.

Strangely enough the missionaries and watch tower people never bothered us again so I guess those groups must share infromation.

I love my sons' quickness of wit and sense of humor.

Marni, DS#2 also did this when he saw James Eldridge (do you remember him, the young guy who ran for the State legislature, from Acton) coming up our walk, campaigning. Scott thought he was a missionary, as he was wearing a white shirt and black pants. He opened the door and was really embarrassed; several of Josh's friends worked for Eldridge's campaign and there were a lot of connections. I welcomed him in and had to apologize to him by saying that my son thought he was a missionary, out to convert him.

Dear Weather Gods,

I'm begging you, please give us a break from this endless rain. Everyone is starting to be sad and grumpy all the time.

Thank you,
