She messed up my jeans, man!


Did you ever have a favorite pair of jeans that got messed up? Well, it doesn't bother me a bit. They are still the most comfortable jeans I have, so they have a couple strokes of permanent marker on them. One red, one black. I was doing a favor for the family a few days ago, and Jenny gave me a great big hug when I showed up, as usual. When all got quiet, we were watching a soccer game on tv, Jenny came over to me with some napkins and a couple of markers. She asked me to write her name. Then, she asked me to write my name. Then, she asked me to teach her to write her name. I'm not sure why she wanted to see me write my name, but their is probably some significance. So, she put her hand up for me to guide, and we wrote her name about a dozen times. Each time I recited the letters in spanish for her. After a while, she started saying the letters with me.

The best part was when it was time for me to leave. She absolutely refused to hug me goodbye. Why is that the best part? She wouldn't hug me because she didn't want me to leave. She thought if she didn't hug me, I couldn't leave. Jenny actually said
"I don't want you to go, I want you to stay."

Take note, this is how you melt a man's heart.
I tell you what, her father is seriously missing out. This is an awesome little girl, very smart and very loving....and way too cute.
My favorite pair of jeans now has a medal.

    material items can be replaced or lose their sentimental value however the ability to affect someone else's life will stand the test of time since they can then affect the next person's life and so on so forth.
