Recently, the orthodontist gave me some pictures of Tobias which were taken when his treatment started and then again when it was over. Be astonished with me if you will at the sight of my son:
Can you believe that these pictures were taken less than three years apart? In the upper pictures, Tobias was 10 years and 7 months and in the lower ones he was 13 years and 3 months. Man, you get some hormones coursing through their veins and little boys are vaulted into manhood. (Well, perhaps "manhood" is a stretch, but still, he looks so much older and it's not just the length of his hair; look at his features!)
Base Humor
I've heard it said that puns are the lowest form of verbal humor. Well, if that is true, then slapstick must be the most base form of physical humor. What happens on ABC's "Wipeout" may not be classified as slapstick by the broadcasters, but if you've seen it then you'll understand why I have called it such.
It's one of those things that you laugh at but feel a bit guilty about doing so. How can those contestants still be healthy at the end of their time on the obstacle course? They eat it hard, right and left. Maybe there is a chiropractor on site to perform immediate adjustments.
All I've got to say is, those people must really need the money to subject themselves to that kind of physical danger and public humiliation. Jeff said he'd like to do it just for the challenge. I told him that I like his face and teeth (and the rest of his body) just as they are now.

Aimee,
I had the same reaction the last time I took Ella to her ortho appt and glanced at the picture they had on file (taken 3 years ago.) The days may seem long sometimes, but the years really do fly by. Before you know it, your babies are all grown up! Great seeing you today.

Wipeout is the new guilty pleasure in our household. I haven't laughed so hard in a long, long time, even though I do feel bad about being so amused. And Jeff should totally go on it and kick so bootie!! But yes, make sure you have a standing chiro appt. ~ Kin
Aimee, I have to admit that I thought you were avoiding my blog. Then when I checked my dashboared, I saw that I had all of these comments that I had not approved. For some reason, it did not e-mail me to let me know that people were leaving me comments. Hmmmm... Anyway, I am glad that the first thing on your blog is not a nasty wart anymore. :) But thanks for being "real". I also used to be a huge fan of the term "butt-load", but have not used the phrase in a while. Thanks for the reminder Jeff!!! I promise not to use it often Aimee. :D
Love,
micky
