Magic Man!

Charlie performed magic last night. Into an ordinary cup he slowly poured water. He poured and poured and poured. He then turned over the cup and viola! The water appeared to be gone in the continually thirsty cup. Well done Charlie.

Another picture, not shown, Charlie revealed his secret, which most magicians would not dare do. It isn't a trick cup. Magic is in the believing.

Charlie painted

Okay, I'll admit it. That isn't a real tattoo, but ...

What kind of nurse?

Been caught cheatin' (once, when he was five)

Monkeyjack and I were trying desperately to boost the money on Lego Star Wars II. This is actually Charlie's game. Monkeyjack and I were mid-level when, Charlie had to use the bathroom at night. He popped out into the other room to find his Gamecube in use. "What's that?" "Whatcha doing'?" "I'll just shut that off."

Monkeyjack and I "fibbed" about our not not using it and said that we were about to watch a movie. Monkeyjack moved the unit, trying to prevent his clever son from turning off the unit. Try as he might ... Charlie was faster. We tried again, with no sound this time, and finished. 3 a.m. and Monkeyjack was sleeping at the control. Monkeyjack bought the desired unit -- Boba Fett.

I guess it doesn't pay to lie.
