I don’t want to say that I have a favorite child but I will say that I do have one daughter that takes after my passion for picking crabs.  One of my daughters took the Lazy excuse and I still love her, but I don’t know if I can forgive her for it.

hmmmmmm, did anyone think about this before we went into Iraq?
