This I found on a small piece of paper maybe four by three inches:
"Caveman Only." I don't really know where to start, I mean this cracks me up and is yet so profound in so many ways. Here are the top ten reasons I included this here today:
10. It is simple and little and things here have been getting a bit too complicated and busy.
9. I have no idea where the notion came from.
8. The spelling errors are as good as they get.
7. I think it is hilarious that it is designed like a placard to be carried, or a sign in front of a cave.
6. At times my little guys are truly caveboys, if you will, and when they are, it's best to leave them alone.
5. In one of those weird cosmic coincidences, I had this very sign (a little bigger) on my freshman dorm room door.
4. Originally it was taped to their bedroom door, towards the bottom, at their eye level.
3. It speaks of the natural wildness in boys that we so often forget and suppress and stifle.
2. Have you seen my boys eat ribs?
And the number one reason I included it here tonight?
I think it's one of the funniest damn things I have ever seen.
From Marci's '...things you don't expect to hear from the backseat...'
Nick: "Well... I think nature's really good 'cause there's a place for me in it."
Zack: "...and it has rocks."
N is sort of a deep thinker, Z usually goes with the more obvious.
Twelve years ago this journey began. Our twin boys were six and I initially just wrote about the cute stuff they did. In fact, the name of this blog came to be because one day I heard them chanting “ihopeiwinatoaster; ihopeiwinatoaster” over and over in the basement. Time passed, I tried to go a little deeper, say important things. However, those cute boys are at university now and their stories are their own. So, what’s an old blogger to do? Well, I guess that’s what I am trying to find out.
You sure it's "Cavemen Only", and not "Cave. Men Only"? Just wondering about access....
