Ol Buzz bought a like new exercycle at the yard sales Friday with $5 he borrowed from me....He hasn't got any money except that he saved up to buy a baby so I asked him how he was going to pay that 5 bucks back...He thought that over for awhile, then said he would drag the dead limbs out of the elderly neighbors yard, give me a massage, rub my back , massage my feet, start my bath, fix me something to eat{ He puts a hot dog in the microwave and counts to a certain number to know when to take it out...} , Do anything me or Papa tells him to, plus all the folks at his house, etc, etc....How could I refuse an offer like that ? I told him we'd have to ask Papa...hoping all the time that sucker would be sold when we went back by there from Kroger...He'd warned the people who parked behind us not to buy it, and the woman told him she didn't have room for it in her car....Danged if Papa didn't say he could have it ! He naturally told the owner to send it over to our house in a truck, and gave her directions...We were really enjoying his talk, as you can imagine...I told him we'd take the food home and come back.... Papa was laughing when he heard about our business arrangement, but when Buzz conned him into going back over there with us and doing all the shifting to get it in the car he was not so amused...Boy, I watched and learned as that little con artist got Papa to change clothes, spiff himself up and get in the car.....Guess he's learned at home how to get stuff done..."Papa, you need to think about going over there with us, because I don't think me and Granny are strong enough to get that in the car." I mean he can do it without making Papa mad...just amused, most times.... There it sits between our cars in the carport...and guess who's been riding it ? PAPA ! He came staggering in this morning and announced "I just rode a mile and a half !" Took me a minute to figure THAT one out....Buzz found it a good thing to amuse himself on when it was raining too much to get out on his regular bicycle....He's gone home now, and we miss him...he's finally growing up enough to take places and not have him run off and hide....Jeannie T ____________________________________________________________ Get Free Email with Video Mail & Video Chat! http://www.juno.com/freeemail?refcd=JUTAGOUT1FREM0210
