Rock woke up super stinkin' early to start his Thanksgiving Day preparations. First thing he did was help Grandma Lisa get the turkey in the oven. He was confused because Gma was touching the bird, but Mommy has taught him that all meat products were 'icky' and 'germy' and to never touch them.
He decided that Gma's way was much more fun.
He knew that he had to start his metabolism, so he ate a hearty breakfast of honey nut Chex and pumpkin pie with whipped cream.
Then he kept Derek out of Gma's hair by entertaining him. He's helpful like that.
Rock is really good about calling Grammy Rae and Grappy Dale, especially on Holidays or at 7am. This Thanksgiving is no different.
The best part of Thanksgiving? Getting to sit down with family, eat delicious food and drinking root beer like a sailor. Rock is a big fan of Henry Weinhardt's root beer and cream soda. He couldn't decide which one to drink, so he chose both.
As soon as he finished off a bottle he asked for more. Who can say no to that face? A dad that is trying to munch all the potatoes before the greedy people munch them, that's who.
Gma Lisa has a cute little saying about turning into a prune and trying to get a kiss. Rock likes to tell the story, too.
A documentary on office life caught Rock's attention, and he heard a great quote: "I've been in many cults, both as a leader and as a follower. You make more money as a leader, but you have more fun as a follower." That made him think Hey, I could swindle these folks for some moneys, and then retire young!
So that's how his revival movement started.
Okay, okay. He wasn't really starting a revival, he was just practicing for life as an NFL official. But a good NFL official, not like the one that rigged Super Bowl XL for the Steelers...yeah, Rock will actually be a just and fair arbitrator of the game.
I'm missing so much!! He's such a little boy with an increasing vocabulary and comedy act. I can't wait to catch his act on the road.
