For the past eight years, I have believed my husband to be comfortable with his manhood. I looked with some contempt at other men who seemed to need muscle cars, SUVs, and big trucks to compensate for something. Then Dan bought this:
But, hey, it was cheap, and it nicely increases the whole white trash look we've got going in the back yard.

Bennett made a haunted house. Here are the ghosts:
He told me, "They don't run away when you turn on the light because they're made from non-scaring paper.

A conversation between Bennett and Dan:
B: Daddy, let's play a game.
D: What game?
B: We stare at each other and try not to blink, but the one who blinks first wins.
D: Let me get this straight: the one who blinks first wins?
B: Yes.
D: Well, what's the motivation not to blink if blinking first means you win?
B: That's what makes it so hard.

At least the truck in the back is better than on the front lawn. When you get to that point, you are truly white-trashing it up.

After losing the game to Bennett several times, I had to concede that it was pretty hard. Although it could be that I'm just insufficiently manly.
