You Should Know

Dear Jacob, 


There are a few things you should know about Mumma and Daddy; in no particular order, I really can't control the train of thought...


1-We're crazy!  Not quite certifiably, but we are nuts.  So someday, when you're complaining to your friends about how crazy your parents are, just remember, you're totally right.


2-We love you very much. Yes, this probably should have been number one, and really there is nothing more important than that, but there we are.  We love you. Don't ever forget that.


3-Daddy's crazier than Mumma.  Seriously.  And if you don't believe me, ask him.  And if he says he's not, it's just because he's crazier than Mumma.


4-Mumma is always right.  Except about Tony Shalhoub, then Daddy's always right.


5-Daddy's soul breathes on music. It is the only thing that truly calms and energizes him.  That doesn't mean he loves music more than you.  He also doesn't love bbq ribs more than you, but he needs them to feed himself.  It's the same thing.


6-Mumma is a scatterbrain.  I always think I've told you and Daddy important things about what we need to do, or where we're going, etc.  Here's a trick, if I can't give you a specific conversation... it never happened.


There's plenty more that you'll learn along the way, but these are the basics things that it's only fair to warn you about now.
