First of all, I want to assure all of you that little Booboo is OK. After the big excitement caused by that goofy family in Fort Collins and their kid in the balloon, we decided it might be fun to try something like that with Booboo, so the whole family could get famous and be on TV.
Since we didn’t have a Flying Saucer/Balloon, we thought it would be just as good to use a kite, so we strapped ol’ Booboo to this huge paper kite and took it out and got a strong wind, and sure enough, ol’ Booboo was up there flyin’ in the sky just like Balloon Boy.
Only, as we know now, Balloon Boy wasn’t really in the balloon. But our little Booboo was on the kite, strapped up there with Duck Tape at about 500 feet and tryin’ to grab geese as they flew by.
Well, after about an hour, no news people came up to interview us, so we brought Booboo down, and except for when the kite overturned and went nose-down into the garbage truck, li’l Booboo was mainly unhurt. Didn’t smell too good, but he wasn’t hurt.
You probably read about Grandma Crinkle and the famous Exploding Bedpan Incident. Well, you’ll be happy to know that there will be no prison time for Grandma Crinkle this time. And, Ronald McDonald wasn’t really hurt much at all, but it’ll be awhile before he volunteers to entertain at the Nursing Home again.
We all got a big vacation this year, when we went to visit Uncle Bunch in Florida, and he was able to get out in the Rec Yard for a couple of hours and we got to see his new tats. It was pretty interesting. I didn’t think you could get tattoos in those places, but Uncle Bunch said it didn’t hurt very much at all. He said he should get out in about 20 years with good behavior.
As you know, our good friend, Brett Reese, (we call him “Cousin Brett” even though we’re not related. We think.) got elected to the School Board, and the first thing he does is tell everybody he won’t talk to reporters.
What a joker! That’ll show them reporters who’s the boss and he won’t get in the news and pretty soon everybody will forget him and it’ll go just like our Favorite Mayor, Big Ed. Everything worked out so well for him, didn’t it?
Well, you’re probably wondering how Cousin Benny is doing, now, aren’t ya? As you know, Benny is a distant relative of ours, and he and his buddy Johnny Rebel got to drinkin’ a little beer and playing with their guns and pretty soon Johnny told Benny to light a cigarette and hold it in his mouth, and Johnny would shoot it right out of Benny’s mouth.
Well, as we was sayin’ they’d been drinking a little, and no one quite remembers what exactly happened. Except most everybody in town agrees that Cousin Benny looks a lot more handsome without a nose.
As you can tell, out family has had a heckuva 2009, and we plan on even more excitement in 2010. And we’re all looking forward to what goofy thing Cousin Brett will do next.
