Does it really take that much time to check things out before forwarding them??

I just received one of those forwarded-a-million-times emails about something supposedly horrific (this time an Amber alert) from a friend. It took me all of 20 seconds to find it on snopes.com and determine that it is (shock!) a hoax/urban legend. I know they don't really harm people, although in this case the Missing and Exploited Children hotline gets inundated with calls every time it gets sent out in a new wave of emails, but I'm just so tired of them! We've all been on email long enough to be able to spot these a mile away, or at least to check up on them before forwarding. So, while I used to just reply to the sender with the link to the refutation, now I Reply All. Just my little contribution to making the world a better place.

In other news, the boys still sleep in the same bed sometimes, and invariably we find them zonked in some kind of crazy position. Case in point from a few weeks ago:


Also, last week I turned the corner and saw this:

I fear this blog is just going to fall apart when the crazy leaves that boy in a few years. That or it will change to a police blotter log dedicated to him.

  1. Lynette, do you ever wonder if their names were switched, their behavior would be different, too?

    Love your observation about the police blotter!
