Our family was having dinner when the power went out leaving us in the dimly lit house, wondering what was going on. The boys where distraught to think that we had NO power to run their games and the TV. I, being more practical pointed out that we had no heat, light, or water.

“No water?” exclaimed my youngest boy. “How are we going to flush the toilets?”

My oldest boy said that it was going to be okay, we can just GO in the back yard.

I had to smile, and ask the boys if they thought that Dad didn’t have a plan for just such an occasion, already having stashed away 5 gallons of water.

My older son looked at me with the most distraught look and said “Dad, NEVER pass on the chance to GO in the back yard!”
