turkey in the straw
my father and i went to the timberwolves game last night. it was not pretty. and i'm not talking about the fact that we lost by 27 points. and i'm not talking about the fact that mark didn't play (except that kind of i am). i'm talking about the fact that mark looked like a ragamuffin. where were his mother and sisters when he needed them?it started out well enough. a light brown sports coat with faded blue jeans. but. his light blue button-down was not tucked in, even though the jacket was buttoned with one button. so anytime he stood up and stuck his hands in his jacket pockets, his shirttails stuck out looking all ragamuffiny. tsk-tsk.

i don't know if they're technically the lyrics, but my mother always sings 'turkey in the straw' like this:
'oh, you dirty little rat
does your mother know you're out
with your hands in your pockets
and your shirttails out?'
(and then the rest)
:) (never heard of this, btw;)
i love this pic of him... how it's cut off so you really have no idea how big he is, hehe -- & what a great shirt ;)
i thought mormons always dressed nicely
i love that the shirt just keeps going. :)
it would've been fine had it not been for the very distracting shirttails. perhaps mormons dress nicely cuz there are always 84 sisters to help their brothers out.
lol -- you might be onto something there ;) (i wonder if all 84 sisters were groaning in the audience?;)
nope, they're all to busy chasing their 7 kids to bother about their brother. That's why he needs you :)
Have you communicated with him lately?
:)
still waiting. but it's the all-star break now, so he'll have time to write. (cuz i'm sure that's what he wants to do with his 5 days off.)
actually i had been wondering why he was on my heart again so much lately. but then i heard it was the break and it hit me that he'll have time to research and to think, and that he'll also probably be going home, so he'll have that mormon influence around him strongly, and so i'm just praying for protection from lies and insights into Truth.
and reminders from his sisters re: his shirttail? ;)
(hehe, sorry:)
