Post your STUFF here!

Please post your funny stories here!

My funny story: My father wanted to name me "Skip" after a camp counselor that he had when he was on a youth camp in Hawaii.  My mother refused to name me with a typical DOG's name. They decided to follow family tradition and name me after my father.  They named me Thayne O'Deen Hansen III and called me O'Dee for short. I was born 3 weeks before the well known cartoon "Garfield" came out. Part of that comic strip is a character named Odie..... yes a dog.  I guess I was destined to be named after a dog! Loyalty is one of my best qualities.

Thanks
O'Dee

  2. Skip or O'Dee? I'd have to say skip...on the name Skip. O'Dee sounds way better. Especially if you say it like it's gansta...you know...Oh-De...wassup Oh-Dee....you know what..nevermind I said that. Whether you say it with a gangsta tone, or with a British accent, it still sounds better than....Skip.

  3. O'Dee, very unconventional name.
    Nice story and nice to "see" you again in this class.

  4. I was in my loft one evening when my six year old son Bryce comes barreling out of his room all upset. "Dad, I don't know how she did it but Tally (our mini schnauzer) got her leash looped around one of the blades to my ceiling fan and I can't get it down!" I go into my sons room and sure enough, Tally is hung from the ceiling fan, hopping around on her hind legs while the fan spins around. Thank goodness she had a fairly long leash. After scolding Bryce about how Tally could have gotten hurt really bad he told me the truth. He had climbed onto his bunk bed and looped the leash around the fan and turned it on because "I was so sure she would fly around with the fan."

    I did not find it funny that night, but I can see the humor in it now.

  6. My son when he was 3 went to visit my Mom (grandma)for the day. As he was there, he decided to show off some of his new vocabulary. As he was doing a puzzle with her he said D&$#% it! My mom promptly corrected him and said "That's a bad word we don't say that." He quickly replied and said: "Yes we do, you say that when you're trying hard to do something and it won't work!"
