Jack must have been oh maybe 1st or 2nd grade (not really sure), and my mother was sweetly tucking him into bed when he looked up at her and said "Mom, how come Janna and Marylin are smart and from Dad's side of the family, and Lys and I come from your side of the family and we are, well, you know?"
I am not really sure how my mother (whom is not dumb in any sense of the word) responded to the inquiry of the young lad, but ever since it has been a joke in our family! Anytime one of us acts a little um "you know" then we are from my Mom's side of the family and if we are "smart" than we must have surely come from my Dad's side!!

Jack loves it when you blog about him..i can see it in his eyes when I read them to him... Although he is not a fan of that picture. We love you
That's hilarious! What a funny story! Love the photos of your parents.
Jack, mischevious, never! I love the story and the picture.
That is pretty darn funny! I don't remember seeing a picture of your brother. There is definitely a "Holler" look. Is it the smile, the eyes? Holla!!!
