Jake...oh...Jake


Okay...for those of you who don't know...Jake...well...he is Jake. His hands work faster than his mind thinks sometimes. Case in point...he was three years old when we went to visit Nana at the bank she worked at here in Millard. Nana loved to show off her grandkids and took him and Cam back behind the counter to get some suckers. Jake says, "Hey Nana...what this?" Before she even had a chance he pushed the panic button. Yes...that is right...the panic button. The whole bank had to close for awhile after that, the cops were there...the cops wouldn't believe Nana when she said, "My grandson hit the button," because the cops are trained to believe that the cops and robbers will make you say anything. It was quite the fiasco.


Well...yet again...and I am sure there have been others and I am sure there will be more...but this one is well worth typing about. He went out with Papa to ride Papa's horse Sparks. By the end of the day, Jake was seeing Sparks other than the horse! He got off the horse and said, "Hey Papa, what's this" and before Papa could say more than, "JAKE, DON'T", he had grabbed the electric fence. Yes it was on. Yes you can imagine Jurassic Park. Jeff's uncontrollable laughter was due to his envisioning of Jurassic Park...but it wasn't quite that severe. His hair did not stand straight up...but dad said he sure jumped out of his socks! He was scared to death. According to dad, Jake was crying and thought he was going to die. Poor thing. But OH SO FUNNY! Will he EVER learn???
