Last time I heard her talk to someone she was going on and on about the number of degrees her child will end up with from one of those Rev. Jim's College for the Gullible to Learn to Spot and Lead The More Gullible kind of schools.<BR/><BR/>She was trying so hard to make sure everyone in the room would overhear her joy. If she'd had a bullhorn she wouldn't have been louder.<BR/><BR/>I think you should start sending out ones with totally made-up accomplishments they never could reach. You know, just got back from the Moon, and that kind of thing. :)Buzzardbillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755522048417416544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-12992706272948610922008-01-12T20:10:00.000-05:002008-01-12T20:10:00.000-05:00I'm sending out one of those next year...mine will...I'm sending out one of those next year...mine will say:so far no one has had to go to jail yet.yellowdoggrannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14906624317290990109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-81579788451547375292008-01-12T17:48:00.000-05:002008-01-12T17:48:00.000-05:00Gee, we always send out things like that, but most...Gee, we always send out things like that, but most of the recipients thank us for the news (we've moved a lot so we send them out to our far-flung friends and relations), and personally, I like to receive them.<BR/><BR/>Of course, I try to show the human side of our lives (mentioning things like how our one daughter got speech and occupational therapy from Early Intervention and later an epilepsy diagnosis), and any draft that looks to braggy gets changed to a humbler view.<BR/><BR/>I still haven't done the one from this year, and have been feeling a bit guilty about it, because we have yet again moved and had other big changes in our lives that I'm just itching to announce.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16358942133639236705noreply@blogger.com
