Mom:  So, if anything happens to you, do you know where you would like to be buried?

Dad: I don’t know… what do you want to do?

Mom: Sigh…. Well, I’ll make it easy on you.. you can cremate me.

Dad: Really? Where do you want your ashes to be spread?

Mom: That’s easy, the Ore Bed.. and then split the rest up and give it to the kids. They can bring me wherever they go :)

Dad: Then I guess I’ll be cremated too.  Can they put us together?  Wait a minute, maybe no... cause what if I want to go somewhere else. Are you going to be mad?

Mom:  Go ahead, knock yourself out. Where are you going?

Dad: Saskatchewan.

Mom: Sounds exciting.

Dad: Alright alright… maybe we could mix the two Urns and both go to both places.

Mom: I’ll let you know.

Dad: Well.. only if I go first. Because if you go first, and the next one will want to be with me also.. would you be OK with all of us being in one Urn?

Mom: You, me and the new girl? A Ménage à trois? That would be a NO for any lifetime. You men crack me up.. here you are almost 10 years my senior, you’re confident all your parts will be working enough to scoop up some young thing who will want to take care of you and your 3 hooligans and then share an urn with you, and possibly also me, for all eternity?!!

Kids:  What’s a orange a ta?

Dad: Yeah...I wouldn’t want to upset her and leave her out.

Me: Of course.

Graduate School Antics

Pop:  Mom! How was your class! Did you talk about me! Did you talk about me!! Mom:  Haha, actually I did. We talked about nature versus nurture.  So of course, I had to speak about my favorite set of twins :) Pop:  Which one am I?! Which one am I?! Mom:  Haha, well, it doesn’t quite work that way.  It’s not about which one you are.  Pop:  What’s the difference between... what’s the two words again? Nature and what else? Crackle:  It's simple.  Nature is what God gave you and Nurture is what Mom gave you.  Mom:  WHAT did you say???  Wait a minute...  Are you reading my text book again? Are you up to Chapter 3?!

Pop: Mom... I want everyone to be kind to one another. I don’t want any more bad things to happen to people, especially to children. How can I bring peace into the world?  I can imagine it, but I don’t know how to do it.  Can you help me figure out how I could do it?  Mom: Ahh, yes… I understand those feelings and the idea you have. That is a very beautiful and noble idea. We'll explore it together - as a family.  You know, there is a man who wrote a song about this very thing.  Let’s listen to it.  Pop: Really?  So I’m not the only one?  Mom: No, you are not. Pop: Well, I really didn’t think I was the only one.  But... can I talk to him? Maybe we could work on this together?
