Adoption

After years of wondering why he didn't look like his younger sister or brother, Mark finally got up the nerve to ask his mother if he was adopted.

"Yes, you were son," his mother said, as she started to cry softly. "But, it didn't work out and they brought you back."

Speaking of adoption, there'll be a new addition to the apartment down here in a week or two.

Anyone have a good name for a 2 year old male tiger-striped Greyhound? Start thinking now, maybe we'll hold a contest...

Buster. Call him "Bus" for short.

Dad said...

Coach.
Trailways.
Peter Pan.
Turnpike.
America. "We've all come to look for America."
Jerome.
Bettis.

Do I win yet?

If you want to stay with the family tradition, you'll name him "Tiger." Or "Zebra." Or, I know, "Bongo"! (That's a striped forest antelope. Probably very fast, like a greyhound.)
