Dad says . . .

I wish we had a chance to record this so you could have heard it rather than read about it.  I’ll do my best to describe it . . . In the morning, Ben and Andrew were hanging out in their bedroom.  They were bored so decided to make a fort out of their blankets on the bunk bed.  Proud of their efforts, Andrew came in to tell Mom and Dad about it.  From a previous experience, Dad was a bit nervous...

FBI Visit
