I believe that is true. My siblings and I see so many of the same things from slightly different perspectives. <br /><br />Sometimes I look at my kids and wonder what are bad times to them and whether I'd agree with them.VOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720138340117045444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459395058311330990.post-26471459044556290712009-08-19T18:29:07.574-05:002009-08-19T18:29:07.574-05:00Hahahaha....I am laughing out loud at Jake's c...Hahahaha....I am laughing out loud at Jake's comment about the blue wrapper - that is hillarious!!<br /><br />I agree with Chelsea - they are the blue ones...grape flavored, but blue nonetheless.<br /><br />I was actually coming to comment about the picture of Grandpa - it was my favorite picture. I loved it. Also, everyone in your family has a very good and very strong memory for a lot of things.

Of course, I'm just sending selections about the good times. Guess I'm trying to get them to see things MY way.
