The Mirror...possibly some truth to it, however, checking the hair is completely unfounded...because I have none!
The Truth...at least I can still find my way while still looking in the rear-view mirror...I have never been to New Castle on my way to Indy!!!

The Twitch...again, possibly some truth to this, however, I use only the left hand to the right side of the neck....AND there are several others that are WAY more entertaining that were omitted...I guess you could say I am "an original"...and what is wrong with that?
The Truth...I have never worn big windshield type glasses, hair barrettes on top of my head, spent and entire summer in my pj's and in my bedroom and I have NEVER and I mean NEVER wet myself while sitting on the floor in my siblings bedroom?

The TV/McDonald's...yes I was in the back seat with 2 tv's, however, staged incorrectly...I was closest to the driver side window...face clearly smashed against the window, was not asked if it would be okay to stop for a bite to eat and I was not given the option of an "extended" straw.
The Truth...I still have one of the tv's purchased that early morning and made a distinct profit on the second tv...I would call that "smart" business...also, I would like to say that I believe Matt and Jenn were self serving (no pun intended) in their highly non-sensitive stop at McDonald's!

The Taco...mostly correct, except my toss was quite a bit more "messy" and was a direct hit against a "favorite" shirt. I can still remember just how good that felt:)
The Truth...a few small details were "inadvertently" left out...the "Taco Toss" (which I like to call it)was performed only after I was SLAPPED in the face for the "first time" in my life...and since it is out there, the "second" SLAP came on a Christmas Eve...I was unfortunate enough to draw Jenn as a teammate in a harmless game of "Scotland Yard"...she made a very poor move that led to our demise...and my comment obviously disturbed her. If I remember correctly, the move she made had a very simple MATH problem attached to it. Why would I expect her to get that right?

The Birthday Song...now this is what I am talking about...2 of the cutest girls I know singing "Happy Birthday" to me (and they didn't mention my age)!!!
The Truth...thanks for the trip down memory lane...I love you all and miss you everyday!!!

Dreams Come True!
Bro, Bro-in-law and Uncle Jon

What can I say? PRICELESS. I personally observed SOME of the activities and some I just "heard about". Memories...love them. --Mom--

Jon, great responses...you really took your time on this. Impressive! Matt and I read your response this afternoon and I was laughing so hard that I was cryin'!!!

The Mirror...you really do check your hair, but you never touch it (called "air checking")!!!

The Twitch...yep, you're right about the opposite hand deal. I DID think of that, but I only had one hand free...and yes, I know that makes absolutely no sense!
Thanks a lot for revealing the "wetting episode"...Matt didn't know that until last night and said, "You really didn't do that, did you?" I regrettably said, "Yeah, I did". Matt said, "Well, you were probably like 3 or something." I said, "Noooo, I was a little bit older than that!" He then said, "Well, I love you anyway."

The T.V.'s...the extended straw was Matt's idea...pretty funny! Tell me, how in the world were you able to do your "twitches" with all those t.v.'s piled up back there?

The Taco...I told Matt before we shot this video that it had to be real and I was going to have to slap him...no way was he for that! He drilled me with that taco tho'...which was taped up so he could eat it after we got done! Bycrofts don't waste food! :)
And I forgot all about Scotland Yard...thanks for that reminder!

The Girls...they sure love you! When I told Rachel how old you were going to be (only b/c she asked), she told me that I will "catch up" with you and be the same age...hmmmm, does she have my math ability??

Love ya! :)

In my favorite sport, tennis, it really is helpful to have a good serve. It could help you in winning more games. In the same way, life is a lot like that. We need to do our best in "serving" others. Jesus didn't come to be served, but to serve. There are many ways to do this. Just maybe, in our service, God will use us "to win one more" for Him...
