Thanks Tommy -----Original Message----- From: T. Arthur Henault My CHAUVIN's did not come over on the May Flower, They missed the boat, and had to wait for the next one, it was called the June Bug. When the got off the Boat, they were escorted to a densely wooded area where they would pitch their tents. Soon! it was decided that they needed to build some houses and they all helped each other. My Chauvins/Shovans, had big dreams, so their house was a four seater, two on each side. I guess that they must have been expecting company! My GGG-GT Uncle Joseph Joseph Chauvin Liked to play jokes on people. He would wait until someone went out to use the house, and then go into the other side, kneel down and in an angry voice yell, - Hey! stop that, can't you see that i am painting down here! Well that did not go over very good with my GGGG-Grandmother Elizabeth Chauvin/ Shovin. and she was determined to teach her son Joseph Joseph a lesson. So she got the rest of the family together to make their plan, They waited until they were sure that Joseph Joseph had to use the house, and as soon as he stepped inside, they all started nailing the door shut! J.J. was very surprised by this, but mother-nature was calling, and he looked down at the seats only to find that they had been boarded up! and then he looked over toward the corner of the house, and saw a bucket of paint and a big paint brush. with a sign that read, Let us know when you are done painting and we will let you out! Well they made him stay in there for about 5 hours before letting him out. and as the story go's, he was covered with more than paint when he came out. The morel of this story is, NEVER mess around with Mother Chauvin! Moose Hugs Tommy
