My boys are making a cornhole set**. Wilson just came up stairs declaring he had something to show me. His smile spread from ear to ear as he held up his very own tape measure. Proudly he stated, "Look, mom. This is my very OWN tape measure. It's mine! Daddy gave it to me. It isn't yours. It's mine!" To say that he is ecstatic might be an understatement. I wish you could have seen his face full of joy. It was a wonderful moment.
I think his daddy is equally ecstatic that Wilson is helping. Doesn't get much better for a Dad and his son.
** Cornhole (bean bag toss, baggo, dbags, or bags) is a lawn game in which players take turns throwing cornhole bags (cotton duck bags filled with feed corn) at a raised platform with a hole in the far end. These platforms are usually made with plywood or plastic and are often decorated. A corn bag in the hole scores 3 points, while one on the platform scores 1 point. Play continues until a player reaches the score of 21. Wikipedia September. 26. 2010.

Um. Ahem. Well. I believe that you should explain what a "cornhole set" is for those of us who do not know.
It is cute that Wilson is helping his dad, but, um, with what?
hahahahahahahaha!!! It got you to comment, didn't it? :)
I would have commented anyway, but it would have been less interesting :)
