I forgot to tell all of you this story.
The other day when I brought all 3 boys to see Gary Jax wanted me to make him a "glove balloon". So, I took a blue glove (the latex gloves are on the wall) and I blew it up and tied it off so that he could bat it around a little.
About 10 minutes later I look over and Jax has every finger on the glove bent down with the exception of the lovely middle one. Here is how the dialog goes:
Me: Jax, What are you doing?
Jax: I am sticking up the middle finger. ( BTW - Very matter of factly stated as both other brothers burst into laughter).
Me: That is totally innapropriate Jax. You know better than that. DO NOT DO THAT AGAIN. (The stern mean mommy voice).
A few moments pass.................
To my surprise I glance over his way again and he still has the middle finger on the glove balloon pointing BUT this time he has the finger facing the ground.
Me: Jax, I thought I told you that was COMPLETELY INNAPROPRIATE! What part of DO NOT DO THAT AGAIN are you having a hard time understanding?
Jax: (his eyes roll back as most of you have seen) Mom, I am just giving the devil the middle finger! Big sigh like I am bugging him.
Where the heck did that come from? If anyone deserves the middle finger it is the devil. I guess Jax knows what giving the middle finger means!

Hi,
I don't know how this happened or how I happed upon your blog. I was doing a fun thing and "goggling my name and then my dad's name.
My Dad's name is Gary Sallee. My maiden name is Sallee. And there are 3 of us kids born to my parents. I am an Adult now but find it so ironic, that not only do we our Name is in common, but...my father is down with an injury and has been for almost 15 years.
When reading your blog, I was so compelled to leave you a comment to let you know it was almost like reading my own situation with my own father and his progress and (continued struggle) with it.
I was also taken by, the fact that at the bottom of your blog, it says Love Conquers All which so happens to be my blog name.
I will pray for you and your family and both of us know we to trust in him even if it is walking in the dark and not knowing what awaits us. I hope you will visit me, I am a Christian and feel that in you.
God bless you,
Jeannene
