Jackman the "Fishin' Buddy"

Jana and Bryson were in OK for several days last week. That left Jackson, Addie and me at home alone. Jackson is used to playing with (doing Bryson's bidding) Bryson. Jack wanted to go fishing so we all went. On the way, Jack asked, "Dad, am I your fishin' buddy?" I said, "Yes!" These are some of the fruits of our labor. Surprisingly, Addie wanted nothing to do with the "pish."

Saturday, I was cleaning and doing the laundry. When I went to Jack's room to put away his clothes, I noticed he had no socks in his drawer. Most of you would not know the sock issues that afflicts Jack. It is just this side of OCD. Anyway, I asked him, "Jack, where are your socks?" He said, "I packed them." Jack is ready to go to the "Pond" aka OK. He brought his backpack to me. When I looked inside, he had packed all of his socks...dress socks...socks without matches...everything sock related. In addition, he had rat-holed 15 or 20 Star Wars "guys" in the bottom of his pack. He said, "I packed for 'Okahoma'." Funny! Grandmother and Granddad, get ready for a mostly naked yet fully socked Jackman carrying Han Solo, Luke, or some other character.
