On the way back from the pool the other day, Fritz and Billy were making Neighbor Girl crazy. Fritz was talking in an old man voice (he learned it from his father), and Billy was talking in his “Billy-Bob-Joe-Bob” country bumpkin voice (I do not know where he got the name or the voice…probably from his father). Neighbor Girl was actually offering them candy if they would stop it, but annoying her was worth so much more than a few lousy Smartees.

As they went back and forth, only a few times breaking character to laugh at how funny they found themselves, she finally pleaded, “Speak normally!”

From the front of the van, I couldn’t help myself and chimed in, “Oh, but they are speaking normally!”
