Learn from the Best

Obviously, I want what’s best for you. I want you to be the best, and in being the best you must learn from the best. I am not all knowing, and contrary to what he may tell you, neither is your dad. Here are some very important things that you can learn from some very important people.

Being Cool – This lesson cannot be taught by anyone better than your very own Boompa. People flock to him! Be careful though. You will soon learn that too much time around Boompa can result in belly aches from laughter.

All About Musicals – Be you boy or girl, it never hurts to be cultured. Learn from the best: Mama Kay

Everything Car Repair – Your daddy is an expert at this, but he learned from the best. Papa Jerry showed him the ropes and will do the same for you.

Cooking – You cannot go wrong by getting some tips on the culinary arts from, believe it or not, Paparoosky himself. You’ll learn soon that southern grub doesn’t get any better than what’s cooking at the farm.

Manners – Aunt Gran has you covered on this. Don’t forget to ask politely.

Throwing a Football – You have 4 uncles, a daddy, and three grandpa’s. Aunt Jen can out throw any of ‘em.

Decorating – This girl can make orange walls with peacock stickers look amazing. Ask Lindsay for all of your decorating and design needs.

Acting – Your Auntie Lou wasn’t just the best actress in Van Zandt County. She was the best in the state of Texas!

Fashion – I don’t know how she does it, but Auntie Ashley can make a potato sack look like the next thing to hit the runway. If she is not too busy with her acting and modeling career, I know she will be willing to help you where your mama certainly lacks.

Hair and Makeup – Auntie Lynn will make sure that, boy or girl, you know how to sport some awesome hair.

Don’t worry, Poppyseed. There are plenty more where those came from. In fact, I'm saving some of the best for last. But you are making Mama very tired, so I need to rest.
