Now that's a contest I can win.

Bring it on, sister!

Watch this:

::ehhhuhhhHHHHHhhhhhhHHHhew::

We had that weather yesterday.

I hope with no damage, Miss Janis.

Well, Lyman did come close to busting his butt under the carport, and scraped his arm on the brick wall.

I don't know what they didn't do when they poured this driveway, but the area under the carport sweats in humid weather and can be slick as glass.

I fell several years ago, but came to no long-term harm.

I worry, though, when Lyman's mom or dad come around during those times.

Well, somehow it manages to get cool enough to condense water. Sometimes the dew point can get high enough for it to happen, but usually concrete is rough enough and porous enough for it to soak into the surface. You might have a layer of oil or sealant on there that's keeping that from happening.

I understand it's been slick since the house was built.

Janis, sounds like you have a Level II icky-spirits possesion (advanced sliming). The Ghostbusters have disbanded, so you'll need to call:

THE POSSUMGIEST!

Phantoms flee at the baring of his fangs. Ghosts dissipate at the whip of his tail. His well-groomed grey fur is nice to look at too (but please don't touch). Call 1-800-AOW-9999 for an appointment today.

Let me take that number down, Marc.

No. WAY! I ain't getting involved with no haints.

Do you deal in demonic spirit possession of children?

They must be possessed, because they deny all knowledge of various infractions they commit.

Even when I see them do it.

Yes, on that score I believe in dousing them with holy water.

Although my method is unorthodox, comprised of putting them outside in the cold and spritzing them a while with the hose, it does seem to be efficacious in preventing possession in most cases.

Of course, instances where we are in a car do make this method less than helpful. Just the other day, a demon possessed the right finger of our youngest child, causing her to place said finger in right nostril and begin to root around for treasure. "Stop that!" I shouted. "I'M NOT PICKING MY NOSE!" came the reply. I couldn't very well spray her with water since I was on the Interstate at the time.

Booooooger! I'm just waiting till the youngest g-kids learns that... she's already got "NO!" down pat.

I believe "booger" is usually the fourth or fifth word children learn.

Hmmm, that might be a good Thursday 3 or just general question: What are the first words that your children learn?

[PSsss: I don't know what posessed me to missspell posesion. Snakes in an Offise?]

[PPS The Possumgeist thing was just a suggestion to help with cash-flow for the AoW empire, in case Cornatee franchising fees were running slow.]

Well, maybe someone else can do the ghostbusting thing. I'm just too afraid of what would happen if the streams crossed.
