I have always been known as a talker; a story teller, if you will. Even as a child, I seemed to have a knack for talking, telling stories, pleading my case, or selling a ketchup popsicle to a woman in a white blouse. At family reunions, many would comment on my destiny of being a lawyer, though I still ponder what I want to be when I grow up.

I welcome you to CS Adventures, where anyone can read one man's attempt at retelling stories; many of which are humorous interpretations of actual events, some are exciting adventures forgotten by all but me, and others are of inspiring people who have touched my life. Enjoy!

Kids Say The Darnedest Things

While laying in bed yesterday morning (Sunday), Hannah (9) decided to crawl into bed with Tracy and me. It was shortly after 9:00 a.m.

Jack (7) walked in carrying a large bucket of Legos. He began to negotiate time to play before going to church.

JACK: "Dad, can I take my Legos downstairs?"

ME: "I don't know buddy, we've got to get ready for church. Why don't you get dressed first?"
JACK: "But Dad...how do I know how much time I have...before we have to leave?"

ME: "Jack, it's 9:07...2 hours from now, we'll be at church. An hour and a half from now...we'll be getting ready to get in the van..."

HANNAH: (interrupting, with out skipping a beat) "Yeah...and an hour from now, we'll all be yelling at each other!"


We all laughed really hard.

Yes, I run a tight ship. But at what cost?

I guess kids really do say the darnedest things.
