The Blue Man In Our Family

Our family is crazy.

It is not like you didn't suspect it before

so I am just confirming it here.

Our kids & their spouses exchange names at Christmas.

There is a rule about the gift giving.

You have to MAKE it yourself.

It cannot cost more than $25.00.

It must be something well....

the word unique comes to mind.

So-THIS PAST CHRISTMAS

My sweet daughter and momma-to-be,

Mimi got her brother's name.

Here she is with her crazy sister.

Mimi is on the right.

Anyway, you probably DON'T WANT Mimi

to get your name because she has a wicked

sense of humor.

This year she got her brother's name.

Mama's Boy....

You know-the daddy to little CJK.

Mimi invented a game called

The Blue Man Game.

To play you must don a blue suit.

You must stand on the mat provided.

People stand 10 feet from you and throw 

ping pong balls covered with velcro

at the bulls-eyes hoping to hit them.

Points are assigned for dodging balls,

catching balls and assorted other points.

So, Christmas morning at my daughter' house

you see here

 Mama's Boy in the "starting position".

Notice the JAZZ HANDS.

Notice the two laughers on either side of him.

Laughers are optional.

When the BLUE MAN gets a set number of ponts

he can choose any member that threw balls 

at him to replace him.

That person must then don the 

BLUE MAN SUIT 

and take his turn on the mat.

Guess who Mama's Boy picked?

Yes! Yes!

It is MyHero!

Here SweetCheeks is 'splaining

the rules to Papa.

He does NOT get the jazz hands part.

Notice how nicely the 

BLUE MAN suit

shows off his svelte figure.

Now, I might be blond

but I was 

SMART ENOUGH 

to not throw a single ball.

And here you thought I was

THE DUMB ONE 

in the family!

HA!
