I am not sure what the year was but Steve and Judy had recently moved to Tulsa and we (Mom, Kristi I think, and Myself) went to visit. Beth and Stephanie were quite young and were at the end of the hose that was laying in the front yard. For what ever reason I had the idea to turn the water on at a low rate and the girls watched intently as water began to trickle out. I turned it down, than up, and down a couple of times until I turned it completely off. To their bewilderment the girls could not figure out what had happened to the water that made it to stop flowing. They held the hose up and just had to peak inside, real up close like. And.... you guessed it, I obliged their curiosity and cranked up the water and soaked them. They screeched and I sounded out with laughter. The girls would not be out done and decided they would get me wet with the hose, however me being at the spigot, simply turned it off again.
I have to say but Judy even laughed at it all, but of course had to show her displeasure at the fact that her girls got outsmarted and wet.

You guys are weird.
Just for the record, when she refers to you guys. She is referring to you guys and not me.
Anyways Newlew, you are still a direct decedent of us. How does that make you feel, better?
Don't go excluding yourself from the weird list brother...perhaps you've forgotten the infamous hose incident!!!
That wasn't weird. Devious, but not weird.

Did I remember it remotely closely Judy?
pretty good recollection brother...that's about the way I remember it...except for the 100 times the girls retold it over the next 20 years.
