But, it's not always the kids doing those things to their parents, but they can sure do crazy things to each other too! I remember as a child,my family went to visit Borrego Springs Nat'l.Park with my cousins.Philip was 10 and so was I.He was always so full of energy that it was hard to keep an eye on him.(thank goodness my children were easy to handle).Philip started running down this steep hill, which was full of the Jumping Cholla cactus,while I ambled carefully down.Of course, he fell, right smack dab into one of the Chollas.He let out this cry; it must have hurt so badly, and we went running to help him up.There was cactus all over him.When we tried to get the spines out,the large pieces actually jumped and got attached to various parts of everyone!What a fiasco.We finally managed to clean ourselves of all the spines, and continued on our expedition to conquer Borrego Springs. Along the way,we saw this strange little man, sitting with some other people and his chin was trembling.He looked so sad.Years later we all looked upon that trip as the place never to visit again,even though it was beautiful and stark.I recall writing a poem about the trip:<br />When you have cactus in your life,<br />And cactus in your skin,<br />Think of the Borrego Trip,<br />Think of the man with the trembling chin. <br />I now live in Apple Valley, and guess what? There is,rather was,Cholla on my ranch.I got the shovel out and moved it to a place where it can grow and flourish all by itself without getting in anyone's way and sharing it's spines. My desert tortoises love to eat the stuff. I can't see how they can chew on those spines without getting poked.Anyway,congrats on your engagement.She's a very lucky woman, and how fun to have a son!Best of luck to you Drew.I'm glad I found this blog.I saw you on Lopez Tonight, and laughed so hard.You look great!Keep on making people laugh.That's what Red Skelton told me once while he was shopping in my Dad's Pharmacy in Palm Springs in the 1970's.Now there was someone who was very funny.Love ya Drew.Have fun on your trip.Hope your Fiance's nose is feeling better.demwhithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00479587285689904978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5428328458337475875.post-79304982564130340342010-06-14T10:55:23.946-07:002010-06-14T10:55:23.946-07:00DC United @ Sounders FC or Mexico v South Africa. ...DC United @ Sounders FC or Mexico v South Africa.

Hopefully your fiance's nose is left well alone from hereon!
