My Children Have Super Powers

The first picture is a close up of Joseph's eye.  The second is a photograph of a flame in zero-gravity.


This goes to prove my point that Joseph cannot be controlled by gravity.  I further propose that he cannot be controlled by any of the laws of nature.  Also, he is on fire.

He has superpowers.  He can turn you livid faster than a speeding bullet.  He can also control your brain so you can't be mad after he's had his way with you.

He's not the only one, either.

Adelaide has a death grip.

I kind of like that power.  She can hypnotize as well as Joseph can.  Look what she did to her baby brother.  He is now an avid thumb sucker.

German's only power is that he can smile all day without getting tired of it.  I wish the rest of us had that one.

The Black Stallion Returns...Only to Be Eaten

I love the Black Stallion.  It's a fantastic and beautiful movie directed by Caroll Ballard (another man named Caroll) and starring Mickey Rooney and Teri Garr and a really cute little kid, Kelly Reno (that's a boy named Kelly--what's with these film men with girl names?).  Melanie went to the library last week and checked out "The Black Stallion Returns" because she thought Joseph and I would like it.

Joseph enjoyed it.  I never got a chance.

Here's his mugshot.  Joseph was taken in for questioning regarding the eating of a local library DVD.  He reluctantly confessed.
