Things We Talked About Today

-For those that missed the answer to yesterday's mindbender question, we revisited that early in the 6 AM hour. We talked about how it seemed strange that the most common dream concerned losing your teeth. Cleve has frequent dreams about going back to school. John dreamed last week he was buying a 2 liter soda at the store and they tried to charge him $13 for it! For a cheapskate like John, that's a nightmare!
-A listener called to tell John that he's not a cheapskate. As her grandfather used to put it "You're teaching your dollars to make more cents!"
-John took his son, Evan, to a birthday party at the fire station on Saturday. We talked about birthday parties with fun themes and had some great ideas. Listeners called to tell us about parties they'd done with themes like Imagination Movers, Yo Gabba Gabba, The Titanic and a digital camera scavenger hunt. One mom said that they made cookies for her daughter's birthday and delivered them to neighbors as a random act of kindness. You can join the conversation on this on the 88.3 WAFJ Facebook Fan Page.
-Cleve included a story on senior moments in his newscast. It seems that men are more prone to have them than women. John recalled Cleve's latest senior moment of leaving his iPad in his office and trying to accuse John of hiding it. John doesn't have senior moments, but rather "daddy brain" moments where he loses his train of thought. Is that what having children does to you?
-John told the story of how his son, Evan, is learning to drive his kid-sized John Deere Gator. He knows how to do it so well that he told John how to back out of the driveway recently. He said "Daddy, put the car in reverse. Now, go straight back. Whoa! Whoa! That's enough!" It's fun to hear what comes out of the mouth of a two and a half year old!
-Coming up tomorrow...Cleve got an office makeover thanks to practical joke played on him. Do you have a practical jokester in your life? We'll take your calls tomorrow. Also, Charles Garner will join us to talk about a mountain bike riding group in Augusta.
