***Mike Tyson was a great fighter.  Evander Holyfield was too.  And don’t forget George Foreman (although I think he was known more for his grill).  Today’s Friday Email is all about “Fights.” Have a great weekend!***

Everyone fights at times.  Brother and Sister.  Husband and Wife.  Stranger and Stranger.  A lot of things people do (and don’t do) when I’m driving make me want to fight with them but the inability to understand you can make a right on a red light (unless otherwise noted and even then, I believe it’s a “suggestion” not a law you can’t) makes me honk them relentlessly until they do it (it works sometimes too).    Moise was looking for something he said he had already done.  He said he’s a man of his word.  No arguing you’re a man of your word.  We all try to be when we say things, but we forget as we fight remembering everything everyone wants.  I asked Moise what time something happened.  He says 6.  It was 6:48. That’s still 6 to Moise.  Don’t fight with him, I know someone else who says 6 is 6:00-6:59. Moise says where is this file?  In the folder you asked me to put it yesterday, Moise.  You didn’t even look to see if it’s there, and you’re fighting with me already?  It was fun though.  My sister told me something, but I did the opposite.  She said you never listen when people talk to you.  Moise said exactly.  Are you adding to a family fight Moise?  My birthday cake said, “Happy 10th Birthday Anthony.” At first, I was going to fight with someone thinking they wrote 100.  And then I realized it was only 10.  Somehow, I felt less offended by 10.  Junior says well you act that way anyway.  You used to say 5 Junior, so obviously I’ve doubled my age and maturity over the years.  Moise said the bakery probably saw how you act, that’s why they put 10.  Moise was saying he got this text today (Monday).  It’s from Friday Moise.  I’ve been fighting with you to get a better phone.  He says well, it says today.  But today was Friday so you’re now 3 days late with this text.  Joshua and Abby were quiet, and Moise says he hears no noise that means there could be a problem.  It can’t be that bad Moise like they’re not fighting, or we’d hear it.  I asked a question and it was for Junior.  Moise started to answer, but I cut him off immediately (not to start a fight but to get to the point).  I just needed an answer, not a whole explanation.  Moise said you think Junior would give a better answer?  No Moise but it would be more succinct.  He said did you say my answer stinks?  No, I said succinct.  Moise said Junior will kill him over this when he tells him.  I said nah he won’t.  He might fight a little with you playfully, maybe (want to) strangle you but killing?  No.  Junior is not a violent person.  Moise said 1 + 1 X 0 = 0.  I said without parentheses.  That doesn’t seem right.  I must google to remember all the rules from school.  He says you got a better answer.  Let’s not start a fight over it but let’s try to remember how to do math like in school.  FYI, the answer is 1 Moise.  Now I remember those math rules. Now when it comes to doing your timesheet, just remember I’m not going to fight you about doing it, but I will complain and whine and make you dislike me more than you do now if you don’t do it.  Please do your timesheet on time today and remember if you forgot 50% of what you learned in school then you have forgotten less than Moise and I have.

Have a great weekend!
