Mine!

June 7th, 2011 No comments

Those of you with children recognize that battle cry.  Those of you with only one, encounter it just before naps.  But if you are a Minnesota dad with a love of the Captain and approaching litter status, it seldom leaves the conversation.  Of course someday they grow up and he gets his revenge by spoiling grandchildren and watching them cope with what is his present lot.  Revenge is a dish best served cold.

and the hoooooo mmm oF THE  (sorry I just can’t hit that note)  brave.
