Joe Krutsinger, My First Grade Nemesis

Joe

Generous, Loving, Impeccable sense of humor, soft-hearted

Husband of mine.

Lover of Math, Charts, Computers, Games of Chance

Who feels empathy, joy, and passion

Who needs his family, his work, and laughter.

Who gives whatever he has, to the poor, and to us.

Who fears being alone, being left, losing me.

Who would like to see his grandchildren on his birthday weekend,

Resident of My House

Krutsinger

And lucky 3 children, two sons-in-law, and 10 grandchildren, and our spoiled 6 year-old bossy, overbearing, overweight, over-dessert-ed cocker spaniel, Sophie Helen, who is a reincarnation of my mother-in-law, Helen, right Leanne?

But, Ilene, when he came around to ask "one of the Stone twins" out, he looked at both of us and said, "Would either one of you, um, twins, um, want to, um, go out with me?" My twin yelled no, jumped off the couch and hid, and I have a kind soul, and had to drop my hate.

Than you, Andrea. He has framed it, and taped it to a giant hat, and is wearing it around in the post office, which is no embarrassment to me as I am wearing my full Zebra fuzzy hoody with the tiny hole in the butt, and my red panties are showing.

Thank you, Jan. I've known him since I was 4, and he was 5. In 2nd grade I hated him after he announced to the entire class he was going to grow up and MARRY me! What? I wanted to marry Daddy!
