October 2007: Ode to Scotch Tape

Scotch tape - a 5 year old boy's solution for everything -
  • when you run out of room on a regular piece of paper to finish long words like "halloween" and "birthday" - just write on another tiny piece of paper and tape it on the edge
  • when you break the end of your plastic shovel off from digging in every substance possible, just tape it back on
  • when your tractor's wheels and roof just won't stay on, layer after layer of scotch tape is sure to do the trick
  • when you rip a hole in the sofa from running on it while mom is passed out from staying up all night with a sick baby, just enlist your little brother to cut you off a 3 foot long piece while you hold the two ripped sides together

These and countless others just have to make you laugh and appreciate the ingenious mind of the 5 year old boy. Thank you Owen. I love watching you in action.

  2. Hi Elder Johnson,

    If you think you ever get to come up for air -- forget it! It is now October (barely), and I'm finally writing to congragtulation you on th birth of Tate who is now talking and can write his own name. I really thought that life would be calmer at this stage, but it's not.
    We hope you're doing well -- your wife is beautiful and your boys are great! What more can you want!
