The Joe Show

The Horne family has been busy the last couple of months. Joe got a 114-e Grand Auditorium Taylor guitar. In his opinion it was the best sounding guitar in guitar center. One or two weeks ago, Dad, under tremendous pressure because of upcoming events, decided quite suddenly and tensely that the kids were not doing enough work. So they were all put to work, occasionally allowed to rest their sun-bloated, gnat-eaten bodies. So hard was the verdict that all of their privileges were taken away. In other words, no audio-books, no television (stink!), and no video games. It was, of course, time for Joe to put on the Joe Show to mock the latest decisions. For example, one of the Joe Show's went like this with illustration: "There once was a blob with mush for a chin and upon that chin he wore a big grin. One day he passed by a nice little hovel, where a dad was spanking his kids with a shovel. 'What happened?' he asked, the dad replied then, 'The kids have been watching too much TV in the den!' 'Then throw it out,' the blob said wearing a smile, 'Crush it up fast in a nice little pile.' 'That's great!' the dad said, 'I'll do it tonight!', while the eavesdropping children all quivered with fright. The blob oozed away his words had prevailed so he went back home, and watched VeggieTales." This Joe show was mocking when there was no TV for a week. Nicely illustrated, they either give a good point or make the new decisions look unreasonable. After a new episode of the Joe show we decided to meet in the middle. So now we have our privileges back. That's it for now.
