Me:  Josh, would you please go and feed/water and collect eggs from the chickens.

Josh:  Sure.

*fast forward a little bit*

Josh, bursting in the house.  Obviously disgruntled and/or other fuming emotions spilling forth

Me:  What on earth is the matter? 

Josh:  I want that rooster dead! 

Me:  Well what happened (I confess to my desire to know when the rooster attacks.  I have to blog about something.  And when I'm irritated it gives me a vision of something to laugh at)?

Josh:  He ruffled his feathers at me!!!

Me: Hahahahahahahahahahaha.

Seriously.  The rooster ruffled his feathers at Josh!  My nearing 100 pound child is upset because the rooster ruffled his feathers at him. 

Rooster - ll        Josh - 0. 

I think I'll post this on our dry erase board.

*Please be in prayer for a family in our homeschool group.  They have 3 children in 3rd, 5th, and 8th grades and also the mom's teenage sister lives with them because the mother/younger sisters mom died a few years back.  The mom in this family was just diagnosed with brain cancer and had surgery to remove it last week.  Her family is reeling with shock and they are very scared.  The mom, Jenny, is paralyzed on her right side (don't know if it is permanent or just a temporary thing).  The 8th grader is trying to care for the mom right now.  They also are disconnected from a church right now.

God bless, Tammy
