Aaron - Not your average son!

Yes, I have to admit that raising Aaron was always interesting.



Insert interesting (aka embarrassing) stories and early video topics here.....
1.  "Only two wittle ones?  Jesuws Chwist!"  While looking into a porcelain bowl.  4 years
2.  "This is all s#*t and we aren't going to take it anymore!"  To classmates, while standing on top of a desk, just as the teacher walks in the door.  8 years
3.  "My stomach feels funny.  Nervous?  What's that?"  On the way to a ball game where he was to be starting pitcher.  9 years
4.  First major video work, chasing after Lizzie as a pup, enough to make anyone nauseous.  11 years
5.  Second major video work, Marilyn Mineral, (aka Roger, or was it Dan?, dressed as Marilyn Munroe) for a nutrition assignment in Home Ec class.  13 years
6.  Third major video, involved blood and a garbarator.  Need I say more??!!
7.  Next (have lost track of the number of productions by now) video, involved a chest freezer retrieved from the dump, Don's loader tractor and a dummy dressed as Aaron.  Quite realistic actually.  Imagine a freezer falling from heaven on Wylee Coyote.

Boy, what some parents (aka us) wouldn't have given for dull once and a while.  However, that unique and stubborn child has developed into an amazingly creative (aka unique) and dedicated (aka stubborn) artist.  We are very proud of him!!
