Chapter 56

G’day all! This is Sweetie. Daddy (OGD) is busy helping his son work on the car. When I say “help” that involves him sitting with a bottle of water, “supervising” him. I think it is more a guy thing where they just grunt and talk stupid to each other. After all, how hard is it to change the car battery?

It was Father’s Day not that long ago. And we went to a big family BBQ. His grandson is 11 and likes to tell jokes. The boy had us all laughing. I asked and it was okay for me to share with you. Some of the jokes are below. They sort of all tie into each other. (This is also the same kid who thinks that being the Human Cannonball at the circus is a good career choice.)
