An old man I used to know, use to say Jesum Crow all the time. He was kind of senile ,and he'd start to tell you something, and he'd forget what he was going to say. He sit and stare and say " Well, Jesum Crow!!! I can't remember what I was going to say." You just had to be there,it was soo funny. That's where I picked up the phrase.  :yes:

I would agree, if you had said girls, I'm not so sure about teenage boys, don't have any.
Looks like I've come full circle.

Just think of what your girls were like at age 12 or so...you know, boys take a while to catch up in maturity. :wink:

Uh, try 9. My daughter is 9 and she completely understood where I was coming from. He had to argue the point and it was annoying because 1) they were wrong 2) and there was nothing to argue. It was clear. She understood and accepted responsiblity for what she could have done differently. He refused to and seemed to think everyone else was to blame for something he did. Which probably wouldn't have gotten him in trouble, but the way he chose to disagree added a degree of disrespect to the issue. Now, he's in trouble.

oh yeah, I get it. kinda like me telling 17 today that if she didn't shut her mouth, I was going to slap the shit out of her.  I completely understand the disrespect in disagreements.  Sometimes it happens.

(yeah yeah yeah, sometimes, reasoning just no longer works and you have to sailor talk a bit.)

I've never seen cats eyes get that big before.  :eek: The thing of it was when it happened, I was standing there tearing up bread for the coons, that eat out on our deck everynight. It didn't really seem all that bad, and all hell broke loose in the blink of an eye. There was no time to act. It was just a massive crack, a lightening flash, and cats running everywhere. Those cats were under the deck, before I even figured out what happened. Then I hurried up, and hauled ass inside, and the inside cats were crawling on their bellies across the floor, because they were to scared to get up and run. OMG it was total mayhem.  :rotfl: I think the reason for the loud cracking sound, was because I think lightening actually hit one of the 3 lightening rods on the house. So,it probably hit in a good spot.  :yes: :yes:
