some kids - i swear

david (middle brother) drives the tractor over today to help jon and m "work on the roof"?
m laughed and chased him off, told him to come back with just his hands - thanks.
where could he of possibly thought a tractor would be helpful in roof work. /boggle.

we are still training david to get un-stupid. he has these parent types that have ignored their kids for so long their kids crave any family community type atmosphere. unfortunately, we (make that /i) can only handle one of em over here at a time and then we/i want to beat them if they out-stay their welcome.
russ (big brother) had stopped hanging out over a year ago, so that is great.
he has a tendency towards the "i am vastly superior to you - yo, i'm here to tell yah" and that got old after a couple years.
timmy (little brother) is alright and way more tolerable than david (sometimes) but they only come one at a time. thank goodness.
