Davidson family Yahtzee and other adventures

Despite living in the middle of the woods, miles from town, life at my parents house is never boring. Sure, the dogs provide much of the entertainment, but so does my family. And we're not even trying most of the time. Ok, I already reported about my dad calling his cow a bitch. How bout my brother bringing his new girlfriend Laura over for Davidson family Yahtzee? First of all, only the tough and the brave can handle Davidson family Yahtzee. Seriously. It's every man for himself. Usually the most animated is my dad. He acts like a wacko and my sister and I just sit there and laugh at him while mom quietly rolls a Yahtzee. Dad then accuses her of cheating, this time he was attributing it to the "luck of the Irish" as well as the "luck of the Jews" (hence why we call it the Lucky Jew Game. Not sure where the whole Irish thing came in....). Meanwhile, Tim's new girlfriend just looked at us in awe. Davidson family Yahtzee is a sure way to weed out any potential suitors to the Davidson children (we never did manage to scare Jon away-sucker!). Well Dad won Game 1 despite the fact that Mom was the only one to roll a Yahtzee-you can imagine the gloating. Mom won Game 2 however, which was fitting given it was Mother's Day weekend. Then the embarrassing Tim stories began. I mean, you gotta embarrass him in front of his new girlfriend, right? The best embarrassing story we told was when Tim was in kindergarten and he and another boy decided it would be fun to pee on each other. True story. Tim says it was self defense.....In other news, Hank is officially in love with Chloe (for those that don't know, they are dogs). He followed her around all weekend with love in his eyes. Hank is much like Forrest Gump. He may not be a smart man, but he knows what love is. Thank you and good night.
