The nativity














This is a not so great a picture of the nativity scene John and I built for my Mom and Dad for Christmas Mom has been looking for a nativity for my Dad for two years now and when I asked her how it was going she said she found one she liked at Kirkland but she said she didn't know what it was made of so and thought it would have to be under something for it not to get ruint by our nice Florida rains when its 80 degrees on Christmas day. My Dad told her he didn't have time to build anything for it so she didn't get it. So I went by to look at it with Johnny to see if we could build him something to put it in. He decided to just by the thing and build something so we did. It ended up pretty nice I guess. I looked at nativity scenes on the internet and I saw a barn thing I liked so we just sort of imitated it. We went over to my parents house on a Sunday evening when they were at church and set it up and ran a light to it. The next day my Dad told John he really appreciated it. Johnny told him "You should appreciate it, we worked on that thing together!" My Dad knew immediately what that implied and thought it was funny. Pretty funny huh? Yah I am difficult to say the least. But its ok, you can laugh, I don't mind, because Johnny still owes me 200 bucks because he bet me that what I had showed him I wanted to build on the internet was different than what I showed him. When he started to draw out what he was going to build and I said test wasn't how I wanted it he got irritated and said that that was what I showed him I wanted to build. ( yea as if I don't know what I wanted ) Having saved the page on the laptop and knowing (as usual) that I was right I didn't argue I just very kindly made him a 200 dollar bet then proceeded to show him the picture again! I love being right, especially when it increases the weight of my wallet.
