Parker out smarted his daddy!

Parker has been getting the covers off the bed down stairs and dragging them into the living room to cover up his toy animals. Rick said, Son I don’t want you to get those covers off that bed in there again. I have picked them up a thousand times. Two hours later Rick returns home from Mason's football practice and said, Parker good job. You didn’t get the covers off the bed. I said well, I just put Mason’s covers back upstairs on his bed. Rick said, he out smarted me. I told him not to get the covers from in there and he didn’t. Parker went up stair to Mason’s room and got covers for his animals. Daddy didn’t say anything about getting the covers off Mason’s bed.
That’s my boy.

Email Mistakes

It's wise to remember how easily email -- this wonderful technology -- can be misused, sometimes unintentionally, with serious consequences.

Consider the case of the Illinois man who left the snow-filled streets of Chicago for a vacation in Florida. His wife was on a business trip and was planning to meet him there the next day. When he reached his hotel, he decided to send his wife a quick email.

Unfortunately, when typing her address, he missed one letter, and his note was directed instead to an elderly preacher's wife whose husband had passed away only the day before. When the grieving widow checked her email, she took one look at the monitor, let out a piercing scream, and fell to the floor in a dead faint.

At the sound, her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the screen:

"Dearest Wife, Just got checked in. Everything prepared for your arrival tomorrow. P.S. Sure is hot down here."
