AS TIFFANY WAS WATCHING THE BALLOONS GO UP IN THE SKY, MICHELLE LOOKED RIGHT AT TIFFANY & SAID, "I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL TIFFANY, & LOSING A CHILD IS THE WORST FEELING, CAUSE A REALLY GOOD FRIEND OF MY MOMS WHEN I WAS GROWING UP LOST HER SON THE SAME WAY YOU LOST MIRACLE, & TO THIS DAY SHE ALWAYS THINKS ABOUT HIM.  HE WAS THE CUTEST LITTLE BABY THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN, & HE WAS ONLY 3 MONTHS OLD WHEN HE LOST HIS LIFE BECAUSE HE WAS STRANGLED TO DEATH BY HIS BLANKET."  THEN JORDAN SAID, "TIFFANY IT'S HARD TO BELEIVE THAT MY NIECE IS GONE 5 YEARS ALREADY BUT WHEN WE ALL GET TO HEAVEN, WE'LL GET TO SPOIL HER JUST LIKE HIS NANA BETTY IS."  THEN DANNY SAID, "I KNOW I KEEP PRAYING & TELLING MY MOM TO HAVE FUN WITH MIRACLE UNTIL WE GET THERE & IT WON'T BE ANYTIME SOON THAT WE WILL GET THERE, BECAUSE WE HAVE DJ, WHO IS ONE SPOILED LITTLE BOY."  THEN AS TIFFANY WAS JUST SITTING THERE, HER SON DJ WALKED OVER TO TIFFANY & SAID, "MY MAMA NO CRY SISSY WATCHING OVER US MOMMY & NANA TAKING CARE OF MIRACLE."  THEN MARLENE SAID, "HOW DOES DJ KNOW ABOUT MIRACLE & HE'S ONLY 2 YEARS OLD SWEETIE?"  THEN TIFFANY SAID, "CAUSE I KEEP PICTURES OF MIRACLE AROUND THE HOUSE SO HE WILL KNOW HIS SISTER MIRACLE & HE KISSES HER PICTURE EVERY SINGLE NIGHT WHEN I PUT HIM TO BED."  THEN DANNY SAID, "MOM I KNOW THAT SHE'S GONE 5 YEARS & DJ IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD, & ME & TIFFANY BOTH THINK THAT HE SHOULD KNOW WHO MIRACLE IS & DON'T WORRY WE HAVEN'T SAID NOTHING ABOUT THE S.I.D.S & HOW SHE DIED."  THEN ERIC STARTED CRYING CAUSE MICHELLE & JORDAN WERE GETTING READY TO GO HOME, & THEN JORDAN SAID, "HEY NO CRY YOU'LL BE HOME TOMORROW, & YOU LOVE UNCLE HARLEY & UNCLE JONATHAN, SO NO MORE CRYING ERIC."  THEN MICHELLE SAID, "KNOW DANTE YOU BETTER KEEP AN EYE ON YOU LITTLE BROTHER, & STOP CRYING ERIC YOU'RE GOING TO BE FINE & MOMMY WILL SEE YOU TOMORROW CAUSE THE BOYS HAVE SCHOOL ON MONDAY."  THEN HARLEY SAID, "GOOD CAUSE WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THEM HOME AROUND 6 O'CLOCK IN THE EVENING, CAUSE THEY BOTH HAVE TO GET A SHOWER WHEN THEY GET HOME."  THEN JORDAN SAID, "WE'LL HAVE DINNER READY WHEN YOU BRING THEM HOME, SO YINS CAN EAT DINNER WITH US BEFORE YINS GO HOME FROM DROPPING THEM OFF."  THEN JONATHAN SAID, "WHAT YOU MAKING FOR DINNER TOMORROW NIGHT, CAUSE I HAVE BEEN IN THE MOOD FOR COUNTRY SPARERIBS?"  THEN MICHELLE SAID, "THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE MAKING FOR DINNER TOMORROW NIGHT & DANTE WHAT IS THAT LOOK FOR BECAUSE YOU LOVE THE COUNTRY SPARERIBS THAT WE MAKE?"  THEN DANTE SAID, "JUST TURN AROUND & YOU SEE WHY I HAVE THIS CRAZY LOOK ON MY FACE MOMMY."  SO, WHEN MICHELLE TURNED AROUND & SEEN WHY DANTE HAD A CRAZY LOOK ON HIS FACE & COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT SHADOW WAS TAKING A POOP RIGHT NEXT TO THE FENCE & THEN JORDAN SAID, "REALLY HORSE YOU HAD TO TAKE A POOP NEXT TO THE FENCE WHERE I HAVE THE CAR PARKED?"  THEN JONATHAN SAID, "SHADOW IS TRYING TO TELL YOU THAT HE REALLY LIKE YOU BRO, & DAMN SHADOW YOU STINK COULDN'T YOU DO THAT SOMEWHERE ELSE."  THEN DANTE SAID, "SHADOW GO FINISH POOPING SOMEWHERE ELSE CAUSE NO ONE NEEDS TO SEE YOU DOING THAT HERE SO GET GOING."  THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN SHADOW STOPPED POOPING & WENT SOMEWHERE TO FINISH POOPING & THEN JORDAN SAID, "HOW IN THE WORLD DOES THAT HORSE LISTEN TO YOU BUDDY, & WON'T LISTEN TO ANYONE ELSE?"  THEN DANTE SAID, "I DON'T KNOW DADDY HE JUST DOES LISTEN TO ME WHEN I TELL HIM DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT, & ERIC IS ASLEEP IN YOUR UNCLE HARLEY."  THEN MICHELLE SAID, "GO AHEAD & GO LAY HIM DOWN, & I WILL SEE YOU 3 TOMORROW EVENING & IF YOU WANT TO JON & HARLEY YOU CAN COME FOR DINNER SO YINS DON'T HAVE TO MAKE DINNER HERE?"  THEN JONATHAN SAID, "WE ARE DEFINITELY COMING OVER FOR DINNER WHEN WE BRING THE BOYS HOME TOMORROW EVENING."  THEN TIFFANY SAID, "HELL WE WILL ALSO COME OVER YOUR HOUSE TOMORROW EVENING IF THAT'S OK & WE'LL BRING DJ WITH US, CAUSE HE'S OVER HIS GRANDFATHERS RIGHT NOW."  THEN MICHELLE SAID, "WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS ENOUGH RIBS IF YOU ALL ARE COMING OVER FOR DINNER, CAUSE EVERYTIME THAT WE MAKE COUNTRY SPARERIBS YOU ALL COME OVER & I AIN'T COMPLAINING AT ALL BECAUSE WE ALWAYS HAVE FUN WHEN DINNER IS OVER & TIFFANY BRING THAT ONE GAME THAT WE DIDN'T GET TO PLAY THE LAST TIME."  THEN TIFFANY SAID, "I WILL BRING THAT GAME CAUSE IT IS THE BEST & FUNNIEST GAME TO PLAY & YOU HAVE TO WATCH DANNY BECAUSE HE FINDS AWAY TO CHEAT WHEN ME & HIM PLAY.  HELL IT WAS FUNNIER WHEN VEGA CAUGHT HIM CHEATING & I HAVE NO CLUE HOW I MISSED HIM CHEATING CAUSE HE WAS DOING IT RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME."  THEN DANNY SAID, "HELL I WAS KINDA CHEATING WHEN WE WERE PLAYING UNO THE LAST TIME THAT WE PLAYED."  THEN MICHELLE SAID, "I KNOW THAT BUT I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING, & THAT'S WHY JORDAN WAS CHEATING ALSO & I KNOW BECAUSE I TOLD HIM TO CHEAT."  THEN TIFFANY SAID, "ARE YOU 2 COMING BACK OVER TO OUR HOUSE, BECAUSE WE NEED A REMATCH & NO FREAKING CHEATING THIS TIME, & IT WILL BE ME & MICHELLE AGAINST YOU TWO CHEATERS."  THEN JORDAN SAID, "SURE WE'LL BE OVER AFTER I MAKE A STOP AT STARBUCKS & GET OUR COFFEE & YES, I KNOW THAT YOU CAN'T STAND STARBUCKS DANNY SO TIFFANY YOU WANT WHAT MICHELLE GETS?"  THEN TIFFANY SAID, "IT BETTER BE THE LARGEST DRINK, BECAUSE THAT IS THE BEST DRINK THAT WE BOTH DRINK WITH EXTRA CARAMEL."  THEN MICHELLE SAID, "I KNOW THAT IS THIE BEST DRINK & SOMETIMES I DO GET A COFFEE FROM STARBUCKS, BUT THAT'S ONLY WHEN WE ARE HEADING TO THE RESTAURANT IN THE MORNING BUT THAT'S WHEN I NEED THAT JOLT OF CAFFEENIE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING."  THEN JORDAN SAID, "WELL IT'S ONLY 6 O'CLOCK WE SHOULD BE THERE BY OR AROUND 7 SIS, & ALSO GET THE YAHTZEE GAME OUT BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING DOWN TONIGHT TIFFANY."  THEN TIFFFANY SAID, "WELL JUST HURRY UP WITH THE DRINKS, BECAUSE I KNOW WE HAVE TO PLAY YAHTZEE & WE COULD PLAY THAT GAME ALL DAMN NIGHT, CAUSE THE LAST TIME WE PLAYED THAT GAME WE LOST TRACK OF TIME & THE SUN WAS COMING UP."  SO, WHEN MICHELLE GOT TO STARBUCKS JORDAN ORDERED EVERYONE 2 DRINKS JUST IN CASE, THEY DECIDE TO PLAY YAHTZEE ALL NIGHT LONG.  THEN WHEN THEY GOT TO TIFFANY & DANNY'S, TIFFANY SAID, WE HAVE TO KEEP IT DOWN DJ IS SLEEPING & HE'S CRANKY CAUSE HE'S GETTING A COLD."  THEN MICHELLE SAID, "I SEE THAT HE'S IN HIS PLAYPEN, & THAT HE'S GETTING SICK, CAUSE WHEN HE'S SICK, HE STICKS HIS BUTT IN THE AIR."  THEN JORDAN SAID, "WE'LL BE QUIT & IF HE WAKES UP, HE CAN HELP ME WHEN WE PLAY YAHTZEE, BECAUSE HE WAS HAVING FUN LAST TIME, WE WERE HERE PLAYING THAT GAME."  THEN DANNY SAID, "THAT'S HOW YOU WERE CHEATING WITH YOUR NEPHEW, CAUSE WHEN THAT LITTLE BOY LAUGH, I KNOW HE'S CHEATING, & TIFFANY IS GOOD FOR HAVING DJ HELP HER CHEAT WHEN WE PLAY UNO, & IT'S A GOOD WAY FOR HIM TO LEARN HIS NUMBERS AT HIS AGE."  THEN TIFFANY SAID, "I DON'T USE ME SON TO CHEAT WHEN ME & YOU PLAY UNO, BECAUSE HE IS LEARNING HIS NUMBERS WHILE HE ONLY HELPING ME PUT THE CARD WHERE IT BELONGS AT.  HELL, YOU USE OUR SON TO CHEAT WHEN WE PLAY ANY GAME & VEGA COUGHT YOU CHEATING THE LAST TIME WE WERE PLAYING REGULAR CARDS."  THEN DANNY SAID, "OK WELL I THINK THAT EVERYONE CHEATS WHEN WE PLAY ANY GAME & I KNOW THAT DANIEL & AMBER CHEAT BAD WHEN THEY PLAY MONOPOLY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE A WAY WITHOUT GETTING CAUGHT."  THEN WHEN THEY WALKED IN TO THE DINNING ROOM TO GET READY TO PLAY GAMES, VEGA WALKED IN & SAID, "HI AUNT SHELL & UNCLE JORDAN WHERE'S ERIC & DANTE AT, BECAUSE I HAVEN'T SEEN THEM IN AWHILE?"  THEN MICHELLE SAID, "I KNOW & THEY ARE OVER THEIR UNCLE JONATHANS & UNCLE HARLEYS FOR THE NIGHT & ERIC RODE A HORSE FOR THE FIRST TIME."  SO, WHEN MICHELLE SHOWED THE PICTURE OF ERIC ON A HORSE WITH HIS UNCLE HARLEY, VEGA SAID, "I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT HE'S RIDING HIS FIRST HORSE AT ONLY 8 1/2 MONTHS OLD AUNT MICHELLE.  HE LOOKS SO ADORABLE RIGHT THERE WITH UNCLE HARLEY & IS DANTE WITH HIM AT THE FARM?"  THEN JORDAN SAID, "DANTE IS OVER THERE WITH HIS BEST FRIEND ANTHONY WHO SNORES JUST LIKE YOUR FATHER DOES SWEETIE & THAT IS NO LIE AT ALL."  THEN DANNY SAID, "THERE IS NO ONE THAT SNORES AS LOUD AS I DO, & THAT'S ME ADMTTING THAT I SNORE REALLY REALLY LOUD."  THEN TIFFANY SAID, "WELL THAT LITTLE BOY IS THE SAME AGE AS DANTE & HE SOUNDS LIKE YOU BABE, & DON'T GIVE ME THAT LOOK & I'LL BE BACK I HEAR DJ WAKING UP."  THEN MICHELLE SAID, "THE NEXT TIME THAT DANTE HAS ANTHONY OVER & THEY WANT TO STAY HERE & YOU CAN PUT UP WITH ANTHONY'S SNORING, CAUSE I HAVE NO CLUE HOW ERIC SLEEPS WHEN HE STAYS WITH UP.  PLUS, HE'S STAYING WITH US FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS BECAUSE HE WAS EXPOSED TO THE CHICKEN POX, & SO FAR HIM & DANTE DON'T HAVE THE CHICKEN POX, & I PRAY THAT THEY DON'T GET THE CHICKEN POX."  THEN TIFFANY SAID, "WHAT YOU MEAN THAT DANTE WAS EXPOSED TO CHICKEN POX MICHELLE, BECAUSE I DON'T NEED DJ GETTING THE CHICKEN POX ALSO?"  THEN MICHELLE SAID, "THERE ONE TEAMMATE JASON HAS THE CHICKEN POX, & WE JUST FIND OUT ABOUT A WEEK AGO & I KEEP CHECKING ALL 3 OF THE BOYS WHEN THEY WERE HOME BEFORE THEY WENT OVER JONS & NOW HARLEY & JONATHAN ARE KEEPING AN EYE ON ALL 3 OF THE BOYS, & HE SAID HE WOUD CALL AS SOON AS HE CHECKS ALL THE BOYS."  THEN WHILE THEY WERE PLAYING UNO DJ WANTED TO SIT WITH HIS AUNT MICHELLE & HELP HER PLAY THAT GAME & THEN TIFFANY SAID, "DON'T YOU DARE CHEAT OVER THERE WITH YOUR NEPHEW ON YOUR LAP MICHELLE & VEGA QUIT TELLING EVERYONE WHAT CARDS & COLOR THEY ARE."  THEN VEGA SAID, "I AIN'T TELLING EVERYONE WHAT COLOR YOUR CARDS BACK MOM, BECAUSE I WOULD NEVER DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT."  THEN MICHELLE SAID, "YES SHE IS BECAUSE SHE TOLD ME WHAT CARDS & THE COLOR OF THE CARDS ARE IN YOUR HAND SIS, & DANNY QUIT TRYING TO SEE WHAT I HAVE IN MY HAND."  THEN DANNY SAID, "I'M JUST STRETCHING THAT'S ALL I'M DOING, BECAUSE I WOULD NEVER EVER DO SOMETHING LIKE LOOK & SEE WHAT CARDS ARE IN YOUR HAND MICHELLE."  THEN JORDAN SAID, "SURE YOU'RE NOT TRYING TO LOOK IN MICHELLE'S HAND TO SEE WHAT SHE HAS & THE CARDS SHE HAS IN HER HAND SUCKS."  THEN MICHELLE SAID, "WHY ARE YOU LOOKING IN MY HAND SO YOU CAN CHEAT & LET DANNY KNOW WHAT I HAVE IN MY HAND, & CHANCE WHAT ARE YOU DOING SITTING HERE SWEETIE?"  THEN CHANCE SAID, "I'M SITTING HERE WATCHING SO UNCLE JORDAN & DADDY DOESN'T CHEAT, & I AIN'T DOING A GOOD JOB AT THAT AM I AUNT MICHELLE?"  THEN MICHELLE SAID, "NO BECAUSE YOU ARE WATCHING WHAT YOUR BROTHER IS DOING, & HERE I CAN'T PLAY WITH HIM TRYING TO GET TO YOU CHANCE."  SO, WHEN CHANCE TOOK DJ, & HE STARTED TO GET FUSSY CAUSE HE WANTED TO SIT WITH HIS AUNT MICHELLE.  SO, WHEN CHANCE HANDED MICHELLE BACK DJ HE WAS ALOT MORE CALMER & WAS HAVING FUN.  THEN TIFFANY SAID, "DJ YOU REALLY NEED TO STOP DOING THAT YOUNG MAN, & DON'T YOU GIVE ME THE PUPPYDOG EYES."  THEN DANNY SAID, "I WONDER WHERE HE GETS THAT LOOK FROM BABE, & DON'T YOU DARE SAY THAT HE GETS THE PUPPY DOG EYES FROM ME."  THEN TIFFANY SAID, "WELL THAT'S WHERE HE LEARNED TO USE THOSE EYES IS FROM YOU BABE, & DON'T GIVE THAT LOOK BABE."  THEN JORDAN SAID, "YOU KNOW THAT YOU TAUGHT YOU SON HOW TO GIVE PUPPY DOG EYES, & DON'T YOU DENY THAT YOU DIDN'T TEACH YOUR SON HOW TO DO THE PUPPY DOG EYES, BECAUSE I REMEMBER THAT YOU WERE TEACHING HIM HOW DO THE PUPPY DOG EYES."  THEN DANNY SAID, "BE QUIT OVER THERE JORDAN, OR I'LL SAY YOU WERE THE ONE TEACHING DANTE HOW TO STEAL MONEY OUT OF MICHELLE'S PURSE WHEN SHE ISN'T LOOKING."  THEN MICHELLE SAID, "I ALREADY STOPED DANTE FROM DOING THAT CAUSE HE FINALLY GOT CAUGHT STEALING MONEY OUT OF MY PURSE, & HE WAS STEALING GROCERY MONEY OUT OF MY PURSE & SAID THAT JORDAN TAUGHT HIM THAT."  THEN JORDAN SAID, "I DID NOT TEACH MY SON HOW TO STEAL MONEY OUT OF YOUR PURSE BABE, & BOY WAS DANTE MAD WHEN MICHELLE CAUGHT HIM STEALING & SHE GROUNDED HIM FOR 2 WEEKS NO VIDEO GAMES & HE DIDN'T LIKE THAT AT ALL."  THEN MICHELLE LOOKED AT TIFFANY & SAID, "& GUESS WHO IS SOUND ASLEEP ON MY LAP TIFFANY & HE'S SNORING BUT NOT AS BAD AS HIS FATHER, BECAUSE THIS IS MILD COMPARED TO DANNY SNORING."  THEN DANNY GOT UP & TOOK DJ FROM MICHELLE'S ARMS & SAID, "I'VE HEARD THIS LITTLE BOY SNORE LOUND & HE ONLY DOES THAT WHEN HE HAD A COLD & IT SOUNDS LIKE HE'S GETTING A COLD & I HOPE HE DOESN'T GET A COLD CAUSE HE'S MISERABLE WHEN HE'S SICK."  THEN TIFFANY SAID, "I AGREE I HOPE HE AIN'T GETTING SICK BUT IF HE IS OH WELL, WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT, & MICHELLE YOUR PURSE IS RINGING."  SO, WHEN MICHELLE ANSWERED THE PHONE DANTE SAID, "GOOD KNIGHT MOMMY I LOVE YOU, CAN I TALK TO DADDY TO TELL HIM GOOD KNIGHT MOMMY?"  THEN MICHELLE SAID, "SURE HOLD ON SWEETIE, & YOU SOUND REALLY TIRED BUDDY, & HERE'S DADDY."  THEN JORDAN SAID, "GOOD KNIGHT BUDDY GO & GET A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP & YOU'LL BE HOME TOMORROW EVENING SLEEPING IN YOUR OWN BED."  THEN DANTE SAID, "I KNOW THAT I'M TIRED SO I'M GOING TO GO TO BED BEFORE I FALL ASLEEP ON THE PHONE & BEFORE ANTHONY GOES TO SLEEP."  SO THEN DANTE HANDED THE PHONE TO JONATHAN & THEN JONATHAN SAID, "HEY JORDAN THESE BOYS HAD A BLAST TODAY, & ERIC WANTS TO RIDE COMET AGAIN TOMORROW MORNING WHEN HE WAKES UP.  WHEN I TOOK HIM FROM HARLEY SO HE COULD GET OFF OF THE HORSE HE TOOK A HELL OF A FIT, BECAUSE HE WAS HAVING FUN RIDING HIS FIRST HORSE WITH HIS UNCLE HARLEY."  THEN MICHELLE SAID, "MY BABY LOVES RIDING COMET & HE'S WAS JUST EXCITED TO RIDE HIS FIRST HORSE, & IS HE SLEEPING RIGHT NOW JON."
