We're in civil war country out here in Virginia and there are a lot of relic hunters in the area. I came across a tragic story of a man killed by a cannonball blast as he was cleaning it in his driveway. Following is a quote from the article:
Brenda White is convinced her husband was working on a flawed cannonball, and no amount of caution could have prevented his death.
Does anyone else see the irony in this statement?
If not, consider the following:
Her family was convinced Laurel had a faulty parachute when skydiving, and no amount of caution could have prevented her death.
His family was convinced David stepped on loose rocks atop Mt. Timp, and no amount of caution could have prevented his death.
She was convinced he was capturing a boa constrictor, and no amount of caution could have prevented his death.
I could go on. Am I bordering on grotesque...or is it just sheer sarcasm? Karen says I'm just sick. She does not approve this post.

Karen may not have approved but we laughed right out loud after I (Mom) cringed thinking about Mt. Timp and sky diving. Thanks for the ironic humor.
Humor? What humor? Reread your post and read the wise words. And some say parents are not allowed to pull their hair out. Sheeesh!
