Are my kids weird??? Part II...and a Mini Contest

I have to ask...does the name "Jim Wakefield" pop up, daily, in conversations in your house too? Because this guy's named is mentioned, at least daily, by the little people that live in our house.

Do regular people even know who this guy is?

Do *you* know who Jim Wakefield is?

Seriously, I even googled his name and "our" Jim Wakefield didn't even come up unless I gave google more clues. But, he is famous...as in like the 15 minutes kind of fame.

I have a big bag of Swedish Fish if you know who he is and you respond first. And, no Laura, I am not giving away the big bag that you gave to me...I already ate that huge bag. :)

So, does anyone know??? Do you want to know???

OK...let me see...

You said that they talk about him everyday...

and from my last 2 or 3 visits to your house, all I can hear is the Drew timing Jack and Ben on their "Wipeout" course in the basement...

So I am gonna guess that he is one of the guys or contestant on Wipeout??

Am I close??

I must confess - I did google it. But I looked really hard to figure out why he was sooooo cooooool. Now that I know, I will have to watch it a few times before I visit next. Maybe we will see you soon. We are coming home May 1st. - ELaine
