I can’t believe I didn’t see that. My dad, the original hipster…wow. My whole family is going to get a kick out of that.

He’s more of a country fan, though. :)

Trucker hat, check, plaid shirt check, puffy vest, check. Does he listen to indie music too? :P

Oh, and it’s my not-so-clever ongoing joke that I have so many weird paranoia that I consider each one to be my “greatest” fear, even though you can only have one “greatest” of anything. :)

Also, just thought you should know that you have 29 ‘greatest’ fears–they can’t all be the greatest Jamey. I know, semantics. :)

I might have to write that one up on the blog sometime. Just to clarify to everyone–I wasn’t crouching in the ditch all night. Just for an hour or so.

“Since this incident we have never left Jamey home alone again.” LOL. That made me laugh out loud, Mom. Well done. :)

But your readers need to know the truth, the whole truth…. in a panic.. or an incident that may have required a 9-1-1 call…..
here is the story (as I remember it)
We left you home alone for the first time. You must have been… maybe 2 years old, maybe 12, or maybe 18 (whichever gets the best laugh)
You apparently heard a noise outside and ran out the front door and down the driveway, we found you in the morning, crouched down in a ditch near the a neighbors driveway :) :) (for the readers — we usually entered in the back door and our drive way is about 1/2 of a foot ball field long)
Since this incident we have never left Jamey home alone again and we have found that he never needs a phone, his legs will carry him through the panic.

Wow. I’m glad you all were able to switch that. I assume that you all had a plan involving crossbows and Koalas whenever you accidentally dialed the number?

That decision set up tons of people for accidentally dialing 9-1-1.

Ha ha…I’m glad you enjoyed the photo. And yes, that’s exactly the feel I was going for. Don’t all parents train kids that way?
