Dear Troublemaker...

[sm]

...I hope you are up to your ears in homework, and not getting any sleep. I had to share what MY Child did to her Grandpa - it is all your fault...

...now it was bad enough when you taught her to squirt Whip Cream into her mouth, she was only 5 and the first time or two it was "cute"....

...when she was 7 you suggested she put Whip Cream on her Mommies hand while asleep , then tickle her with a feather...yes I used YOUR name in vain, I not only got Whip Cream on my face, but on the sofa, the sofa pillow and carpet..."daughter" laughed so hard she peed herself...and the dog - I swear the dog was laughing too..

...Now I appreciate learning to shoot, I appreciate the lessons for daughter and the single shot 22 rifle....she took to shotguns - "for some strange reason" ( smirk)...

Daughter has Grandpa wrapped around her little finger...and Grandpa and Daughter really had some quality time with the 28 ga reloader you found , fixed up and gave us...

Daughter took a shine to 28 ga shotguns ( wonder how that happened)...Grandpa got back to shooting them too...

Grandpa just informed me -he don't know what happened. One minute he and grandaughter were out and about - next thing he knew he had bought a good used Citori in 28 ga...grandaughter had a smirk...he thinks...she was jumping up and down - he said it was kinda hard to tell...

My kitchen smells like Hoppe's No 9 , and they used up all the paper towels and didn't put on a new roll...I got a note saying they would be back after a bit...

...dog got into the trash, threw a fit...he does that when he sees shotguns, gun cases and does not get to go - gonna blame you for that too...

Momma and I are going to get a fast food burger....the two "children" can fend for supper on their own...

It is all your fault,....

Thanks a LOT,

:D

Some emails are worth edititing for privacy and sharing.

I bet they snuck out for Beef Jerkey and more reloading components - ;)

Steve,

You know, you ought to _try_ and leave some trouble around for someone else to get into...

Well done, Steve. :D

I know that we can count on you to keep up the good work... :evil:

[Wild Bill]

Too cool Steve!

Oh, and thanks for the idea. My seven year old neice is coming to visit next month. I'll make sure there's a copious supply of whipping cream around. :evil: :D

Steve ... not sure whether I am suffering a pre-cognitive guilty conscious but - so much of that seemed like a letter I might get!!! :D Not now perhaps ... but a bit later on. :p Looks like I have to get some practice in soon on some ''things'' :evil:

Nice! :)

Just because one is a dear friend of mine don't mean they are immune to my ways.

Some stuff they don't have a cure for. :evil:

Persistent, consistent, onery, hard-headed, stubborn, practical...thems just some of the words used to describe me. Art's Grammaw does not allow the others on this Forum. :uhoh: ;) :D

Dogs are not exempt either...there is a reason why they retrieve my birds, and protect me against their owners... :p

You will note that Smoke and kudu are real nice to me...Trapper is too... :D

My grandfather got me into shotgunning and gave me my first shotgun... Sniff. Thanks for the memory.

Neat post. :)

[kudu]

:D

Just being nice, like you said. :)

[SapperLeader]

Great story, thanks for sharing :D Keep getting in "trouble" like that, and the next generation will turn out all right :) .
