Loose Parts by Dave Blazek for January 04, 2021

Rationalize….

Telling tall tales again.

Alcoholism, diabetes and bum knees stalk our family tree. I was lucky, I got grandma’s bum knee. I got rid of it about 6 years ago.

I have the family nose. I get it on Thursday, my sister gets it Friday, my brothers pass it around Saturday through Wednesday.

My fathers side had a MEAN GENE! Everyone in his family were ornery, crabby, and meaner than hell!

Well now, how the imagination can run amuck.

I think that’s beyond “outlier”

That’s what she said.

A civilized, kind word for black sheep of the family (can we still say “black sheep?”)

In Trump’s case it was an outliar…

I got my father’s ridiculously small feet (size 6.5 US and I’m 6 feet tall). It’s almost impossible buying shoes. My son got my dad’s polydactyly. That skipped me, but I must have passed on the recessive gene.

He’s very tall and has such a nice tan.

His name is Slim.
