Storytelling

We were having lunch with friends as we do every Sunday only our youngest son was with us. I have also been thinking a lot about my family and reflecting over their personalities. I guess having grandchildren makes you think about your life a little bit. Also things have been happening at work that make me reflect over life goals and what do I want to do with the rest of my life. Anyway not wanting to be melancholoy, but my children are all very good story tellers. Our daughter likes to use other people in the family for her stories. Those that she has repeated all seem to leave me as the scapegoat. Our middle son seems to have a dry sense of humor and probably would be very good with a poker face because he can be very serious. The youngest recalls things that have happened and they seem to be off kilter a little bit. No one else seems to remember them the way he does. He would have made a very good actor. Don't get me wrong I am very proud of my children and they do come from a very long line of story tellers. All of the grandfathers on both sides like to stretch the truth and tell some wild stories.
