Raising kids has always been a series of surprises. You never know what they are going to pull next. I’ve always considered it a part of growing up. With three we had three times the fun. Onetime I was out mowing the grass. As I passed along the backside of the house, I glanced down at one of the basement window wells. It had a board over the top of it. I didn’t remember having done this, so I went over and lifted the board. Lo and behold, there was a case of Budweiser beer sitting in there.

Dan and his buddy Robert were sitting in the family room watching Saturday sports on TV. I picked up the case and carried it in the house stopping to show the boys what I had found. I told them I couldn’t imagine where it came from. Then I proceeded to put them in the refrigerator. I don’t really drink Budweiser, but made a point of every time those two were around I would drink one.

It was several years later that Dan admitted they got the point.
