Be A Good Citizen

While I was in Vegas, I'd get up in the morning and go running. Well one day, I was running back to my parent's house and saw this "old" man coming toward me doing this funny wog (a combination of jogging and walking), wearing plastic gloves, a trucker hat and carrying a plastic trash bag. Squinting eyes, I was thinking "what is this person doing?". He is wogging and picking up trash at the same time? Oh wait. Is that...who I think it is? I about pee'd my pants from laughing so hard when I realize it was Wendell--my dad. Us children like to call this activity a Wendell-ism. Oh papa! I'm sure your neighbors just love you for going around every morning and picking up the neighborhood's trash. You are a good citizen.

What a great dad and example. I sent you an email to your business. Let me know if you got it.

That is HILARIOUS!!!! I love it! Gotta love Uncle Wendell! I love how he picks up the trash. If everyone had a Wendell in their neighborhood, what a better world this would be. (Good for you to be up running every morning...I'm so jealous...I can barely walk up the stairs in my house right now!)
