I'm trying!!!

Well...sorry y'all, I know. I know that it has been forever since I started and that's not how you do this whole thing. I am going to try. Well we just got back from Oxford and the Rebels lost...we went to the grove and that was fun. The guys all went to the game and the girls all stayed back at the tent and visited. For those of you who haven't been to the grove....too much fun, you can't imagine it until you've actually been there. I mean half of the fun is sitting there and gawking at all the CRAZY OUTFITS!!!!! I mean , there is no telling how much $$$$$ is spent by the girls at Ole Miss the week before the game. And they dress for the trends...I mean it doesn't matter what size you are either to them. I mean even the big girls wear these little short dresses...you know the ones...but they wear them like they are little too. Its crazy...you just have to see it for yourself to get the full effect. Well I have to tell y'all what Tyler said a couple of weeks ago as we were driving into Oxford...it was right before the debate and I was explaining to him why they were repaving the roads leading into Oxford from Basteville...here's the conversation>>>>
Me: "Tyler do know you why they are repaving the roads?"
Tyler: "No..."
Me: " They are getting ready for the debate....you know because of the new president that we're going to vote on...do you know who is running for president?"
Tyler: "Oh Yeah...Arock Obama....(pause)
Me:...trying not to laugh...."Well yeah...but his name is Barack....not Arock..."
Tyler: "that's what I said....is he American?"
Me: "Yes he's American...He's a black American."
Tyler: "No Mama....He's not black...he's light brown!"....Mama nobody is black, they are only light brown or dark brown....but you know I think I did see a real black person in Kroger the other day!

Okay...and for the record by that time I had lost it...he comes up with the craziest things...but I guess he's right....more like brown, than black. And don't worry, I made sure he knew about John McCain and that he is the one that we want to win! But sorry I thought that was priceless...and I hope that story didn't offend! And my grandmother refers to Obama and Barama!
P.S. My next post should have some pics. Tyler has lost his first tooth and I want to post that pic. Gotta go to bed.
