Not really but often it did lean heavily towards 'pull the wool over dad's
eyes' since he probably doesn't really understand the woman experience.  If
I ever pushed it I usually would end up regretting it as they would
probably explain it to me in an attempt to embaress me.  Mind you that
might be interpretted as disrespectful but I doubt it ever really was. 
Maybe.  Anyhow I could have always resorted to embarressing them right back
if I really wanted to.  

Always keep an extra ace up one's sleeve eh?

My youngest was kind of like that.  The eldest was more go with the flowish
... or at least give that impression.

He'll be back too.  They live in town and use their place here as a
get-away.  Everytime they are here the kid shows up at the door eventually.

Me too ... when I care to look back that is.  I definetly wasn't a saint by
any stretch of the imagination.  Seems hard to believe doesn't it?

Life is good,
