The Barbers Move to Denmark

Do you sometimes find yourself laughing at fart jokes or saying , "Heh-heh...nice," when you see bananas for 69 cents a pound even though you're a whole grown-up person ? If so, you may afflicted with a condition known as   "selective immaturity,"  and you're not alone. In fact, Zac and I both struggle with selective immaturity in our own lives, and the condition has been significantly  exacerbated by moving to Denmark.

What are you doing to us? 2. Fart . Fart ever...

Denmark spent the fall and winter bathed in gray skies and dark nights, so now that the sun is out and the leaves are popping, there's a lot to do! * * * Harrison and Khloe both had spring concerts at school. I mentioned Khloe's in my last post. Her concert was enjoyable but ill-timed since we had our visit from the Schers. Harrison's was timed better, but it felt much less coordinated, there were about twice as many people as the gym could hold, and there was no way I could get a clear picture of him. I don't know how in the world he found us after his song was over, but he did and we got the heck out of there immediately. I'll refrain from specific comments about the evening, but if any of the organizers want to know how to make it run more smoothly next year, let me know. I have notes. Harrison is in the blue sweatshirt jacket to the right of the center. He was not happy. * * ...
