so, sometime i feel like my brain is flat.
i'm not dumb, just not super smart either.
i feel like i just missed the 
"lets SUPER educate kids on computers"
movement by just a few short years.
i do remember having one wheeled into my classrooms 
from time to time and if you had all
of your work done you got to play...
Oregon Trails.
don't tell me you didn't love this game.
i conquered it more than once.
any who...what was my point? oh ya, my brain...
so yesterday i was a having a little computer problem.
so i kindly called for one of my offspring to assist me,
before i turned the air blue with my cursing,
and pulled all of my hair out.
so ethan and emma kindly came over to help me,
and help me they did.
i mean why do they make it so hard to release a margin anyways.
so i had to turn on my photobooth to capture this moment.
the 3 of us, heads together, trying to help me from going insane!
mission accomplished.
my kids are geniuses.

you unfortunately  have just died of
cholera.
(and i am in desperate need of a brow wax. don't judge me.)

Wow! I hate it when my 7 year old college educated child is smarter than me too. Thanks for the trip down memory lane with "Oregon Trails." I never did buy enough "ammo" when the opportunity arose at the general store. Dad gum Buffalos!

Damn cholera.

Gary and Shelice Murphy said...

yup, mychel has played it...another remake coming back to make us feel old. in my book of rules...the perks of having kids are 1) to mess with (in loving, yet laugh your butt of ways) 2)in home, free, slave labor 3) figure out how to work and fix all the electrical/technical things in the home. We miss Mychel-Anne...for #3 six years is just a bit to large of a gap.

Apparently I missed the Oregon Trails thing because I DIDN'T GROW UP IN UTAH. Seriously, what is up with you people. It's a good thing I love all of you and love living here so much.:)
