Alex...is that YOU??

While vacationing in Hawaii earlier this year, we met our old friend, Alex (short for, Alexander the Great).  Our kids will no doubt recall many memories of our days with this crazy guy.  One of his favorite little quirks was to become very vocal anytime the phone rang!  Seemed he wanted to talk too.  Tracy was about 8 at the time, and the phone rang, so she answered it.  Of course Alex began his sqawking and hollerin' and Tracy said, "just a minute," put her hand over the phone and screamed "SHUT UUUUPP!!!  He did, and she went back to the phone call.  

Alex's undoing came when he continued to punish mom (who fed, cared for, and cleaned up after the dirty bird) by not returning my affection - instead preferring dad, who did none of that!  You're a gonner..
