I nearly had my daughter convinced that the meatballs I served her tonight, the ones she was scarfing down and enjoying, were made of gopher.
It's getting more and more difficult to trick her. She's been wise to all my tricks for a few years now.

"The Warden" suggested Rocky Mountain Oysters -
I figured that might lead to an uncomfortable discussion with a young lady who was not country-raised, however.

Indeed, but we had that conversation years ago. I took her to the bar at Billy Crews Steakhouse for an early dinner and some drunk chick next to us tried to get her to eat one. Wasn't uncomfortable at all. I just told her what they were, she laughed, and then politely declined the nice, plastered chick's offer.

Watch out, she may turn the tables on you someday!
And, knowing her just a bit, it will be epic.
Thanks for being a father all the rest of the year, too.

Thanks Doc. Yep, she's a prankster for sure. Here's a photo of one of her latest: ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/pZ5WCaj.jpg) She drew, colored black, and cut out out this tarantula and then taped it to the inside of a lamp shade. She literally scared the schidt out of the ex's live-in concubine. He actually shart himself. I was very proud of her.

I thought maybe you had a gopher problem. Ha, this was way better. I did have a singular gopher issue last week.
Stuck a lit road flare in the stinking hole and covered it. Ain't seen that fugger since!

My grandkids don't believe me that there's a kid dump, or spanking day at the end of the week.
Or that lunch is frog tongues, snake toes, fly eyes, pig snot, spider legs, bee stingers, fish guts... or whatever other good stuff I think of.
Pretty much they don't believe a damn thing I say...
