Mission Impossible

I sometimes think of raising Jonny's four energetic boys as a "mission impossible".  On May 22, 2025, Dave and I joined Jonny, Jenny, and their sons, Sam and Henry, for the real "Mission Impossible"--the latest movie in the franchise, starring the inimitable Tom Cruise.


Before the movie, we stopped at Five Below, a discount store where the toys and games are $5 apiece.  I need gifts for my grandsons for the auction at our family reunion in June.  Sam and Henry happily obliged in being my advisors.  They filled two shopping carts full of boy toys, including a plastic shield and spear that they said was exactly right for their 6-year-old brother, Thomas.  Thomas did, in fact, buy the shield and spear with his play money at the auction.  He then (playfully) threatened to spear a number of us!
