'merlie'....

when i was a kid, we used to get together with our dearest friends, the koemans. one thing you could ALWAYS count on was LOTS of laughter. something we LOVED to play was 'merlie'. we would get on our knees, on top of a pair of shoes,shrink our hands into our shirts and mentally, instantly, make each other laugh. to this day, i crack up every time i see this. don't know where my children learned this but i'm so happy that they also find the joy in the little things in life. last night, they had us 'in stitches'(as my grandma would say). funny, funny little men.
