Fat Nudists Playing the Euphonium with Hairy Pits

We had a whistling contest tonight at dinner. Not that I don't trust Judge Trudi, but she may want to investigate some hearing aids in the not too distant future because she seemed to feel that Joey was louder than me. I'm sure it was the acoustics of the room and the unfair advantage of being her grandson that tipped him into the winner's circle.

Other dinner conversation topics included but were not limited to:

• Joey was forced to change his instrument in band from trumpet to the euphonium (a small tuba) against his will but he actually plays it better than the trumpet
• What would you do if you went to a friend's house and the family were all nudists? Why do I always picture nudists to be fat?
• The likelihood of Joey going organic if he attends school in Portland, OR. Would it be worth it to pick up earthy crunchy chicks? And would they shave their arm pits?
• How Bill's beard resembles an Oregon chick's unshaven arm pit
• The Wooden Spoon Trick video on YouTube. View it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXPQY_VRP6M

We ended the night trying to pick a dates for college visits - a sad reminder that we have very few Wednesday night family dinners with Joey left so we have to pack more quality conversations like these (above) into every week!
