Teaching Jacob to Hunt!

My son-in-law is a great guy. In Jacob's eyes, he is bigger than Shrek, more powerful than Superman, and more righteous than the Lone Ranger.
The thing is, my son-in-law is also a funny guy, one of his favorite subjects is "me". It is not often that I get an opportunity to pay him back. However, I had a conversation with my star-struck granson the other day about their latest hunting trip, and this is what he said,"Me and Daddy went huntin' the other day. My Daddy can shoot anything. We got lots of birds. One bird flew over. Daddy said, "Watch this, son, I'm gonna show you how to shoot that bird." Daddy aimed his gun and fired. The bird flew on by. "Son," my Daddy said, "you are witnessing a great miracle, that there, dead bird is still a-flyin'." All kidding aside, Cotton and I have a strange and wonderful relationship. He's strange, and I'm wonderful. But, he loves me anyway.
