Fun Stories

Again I have no pictures but I do have lots of funny Andrew stories (and one of my own) to share.
Story #1
As you know we have moved to a new home, but until yesterday, Chris was still employed at BBC and would drive back to NC to do the work while I remained at home with the boys. Since Sunday was our last official Sunday and there was to be a farewell reception for us, the boys and I enjoyed a trip back to NC. We were driving along when. low and behold, we smell a skunk (ahhh the country life). Andrew asks me 'What stinks Mommy?' and I tell him a skunk. Then he replies 'What's a skunk' Luckily, he was watching Bambi 2 and so I thought that would be perfect to help him understand, so I tell him 'Flower in your movie is a skunk.' Thinking that I just thought of the greatest way to help him realize what a skunk was but then I was snapped back to reality when he says 'I CAN SMELL DA SKUNK THROUGH MY TV!!!'
Story #2
A few months ago Andrew and I were having a talk about our family. You know, I'm Mommy Dowd and then there's Daddy Dowd, followed by GG and PaPa Dowd. Then we turn to my side of the family and he asks 'Is Maw Maw, Maw Maw Dowd?' I tell him no, that she is Maw Maw Flight and then there's Pa Pa Flight and even Mommy use to be a Flight before she got married. That seemed to boggle his mind but was okay with it. All that to help you understand the next part of the story.
As we were helping Daddy pack up his office, we found some Disney movies someone let us borrow but now we were finally returning. Andrew asks Daddy if KK (I should probably ask before I post her name, so she'll be KK for now) had any children and Daddy says 'No, because she's not married.' Then Andrew, in all his wisdom, says 'Then she must be a Flight.' Because, apparently, all girls are Flights before they're married.
Story #3
I go yesterday to get my VA license and I was told it would be real quick because it's a small DMV. After waiting 10 minutes just to get a number so I can wait another 20 minutes for my number to be called (and for someone who likes organization and the numbers had no order) I was reminding myself constantly, that these are people that I want to win to the Lord so be patient with them (clearly they were sinners because I was being inconvenienced, it made a lot more sense at the time). Finally, my number (C 210 (previous number was E 097...what)) was called and I proudly walked to the window with all that it takes to get a drivers license in VA. She starts typing and then says "Hmmm, ' which I know can't be good. Then she asks me 'Have you ever been convicted of a felony?' Stunned, I tell her no and then she asks 'Are you sure, because there is a stop on your license application.' Still stunned, I stare at her for a while and finally say (a little more emphatically) 'NO.' After 45 minutes of going around, are you sure you have never been convicted, I start to wonder maybe I have been convicted, I just have blocked out that whole part of my life.
I wish I could say that the story ends well but she told me after all that time that I would have to come back tomorrow. She said that they would take care of it tomorrow but then she asks 'When did you get your license?' I told her I was 17 (my parents were trying to teach us something by making us wait an extra year, humility I think, but they would tell you responsibility ). She gives me another look and I say 'What now?' She replies 'When you come back tomorrow, you'll need to take both written tests.' Seriously, I almost go off on her but I am reminded that she is a sinner in need of a Savior (again because she has inconvenienced me even further). I, the possible felon, politely ask for my study guide and go home.
I go today to see if they have fixed the problem and take the test.

**Disclaimer, for those who don't know me**
I have never been convicted of a felon...Ever.

I got my driver's license without a problem today and I didn't have to take a test.
