Chris James Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 In regards to Tim's short story posted on AD.... How delightful, what a marvelous description of family life. The story rings true enough to be based on real events although it would be equally as valid if it were fiction, but I want to believe. There are whole careers in print based upon just such material, from books to the comic pages. A great story, Tim. I imagine there are some parenting magazines or even the Reader's Digest who might pay you for the privledge of publication. Then you can put the money in a college fund for the little guy and have the pleasure of telling him where it came from once he gets past the sippy cup stage. Link to comment
Merkin Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Awww. What a great story. And what a great way for brothers to bond. James Link to comment
Camy Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 A lovely slice-of-life that had me smiling - and giggling at the end. The logic throughout is irrefutable! Read it, do! Link to comment
DesDownunder Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 That's just too funny, and so well written. You should do a sitcom based on those kids. Don't worry about the grey hairs, they'll sneak up on you as they do to us all. Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 The really heartwarming part is the two youngster's inclusion of the baby in their play. It's so rare something like that happens. Sibling rivalry is universal. Here we see the opposite, and it suggests there's been great parenting and an abundance of love in that family. C Link to comment
dude Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Tim's fun little true story is in the tradition of Graeme's Family Snippets series which I also highly recommend... both these stories are available from the AwesomeDude Drawn From Life page. Link to comment
blue Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Psst, I'd commented on this story back when it was only on the Codey's World forum. Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Yes, Graeme's snippets are wonderful, too. Highly recommended. C Link to comment
Lugnutz Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Psst, I'd commented on this story back when it was only on the Codey's World forum. Me too. But this one is a bit more wordy, livens it up a bit. The tales on the family are immence over there. Link to comment
Richard Norway Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 OMG Tim. What a slice of real life raising good kids who are part of a family. I have two foster boys, and it's like I'm seeing my 9 year old. As I'm trying to write this, my 9 year old has built (by himself) a boxing ring out of our patio chairs as end posts with rope strung around them as the ring. He just drug David out to see it and play with him, but he was not pleased that I had to finish this post. Gotta go to be a part of his excitement. Link to comment
