Karson's Vogue...
Last week they brought out the 1000 flags that they do every year. On my way over I lectured the kids about why we have flags and how they have a certain reverence to them, and how to act. They let us run through them last year, but this year we got a good talkin' to because that wasn't reverent. While Mary was going past a flag, it was windy, and it hit her in the face. An older guy volunteer gave her a good talking to on not touching the flags. Ty went up to a flag, grabbed onto the pole, saluted it, and started singing the Presidential March. It was HILARIOUS!! And of course right after that an old volunteer lady went up to him and lectured him about how you should treat flags like you should treat a church. I thought that was actually very patriotic of him. It's hard living in a town full of old people.

Seriously, why do old people feel the need to parent other people's children?
I would've told the old guy to stuff it, because it's not like she was climbing the flag pole or anything, she was just enjoying herself when the wind chanced to catch it right. And, as for Ty, that's AWESOME! I assume you're talking he was singing "Hail to the Chief", and all I can say to that is that as long as he's not singing the "lyrics" from "My Fellow Americans", then it was most likely respectful. Old people are weird.
Hats off to you Julie for being able to live there. That would be too much lecturing for me for one day. You should teach your kids to make wise crack remarks back at them about their baldness or wrinkles or something just for fun :) jk. Now that's not very respectful is it!
Karson's vogue look is hilarious...my tummy hurts from laughing so hard! Man, it's hard when other people just jump in and parent like that, especially when you'd already talked to your kids yourself. You rock!
That's not nice they need more on their hands then just Flag patroling.
