Heh -- have you heard that Dana Carvey routine? By the way, I think this oldster lives at our house, too, and he's a mean old codger!

Please do tell us what his special curse word is!

I used to "joke" that I used the same manipulative tactics on my 78-year-old father that I use on my boys. It all boils down to making them think that everything is THEIR idea. It's too much work, though.
