One of my funniest memories of Joanie was when Fred Jr. Stole the remote for the TV while Joanie was watching football. She told him what would happen if he didn't give it back, I guess he had a brain fart & tested her. Next thing I know she flies off the couch, tackles him to the ground, wrestles with him a lil bit; both giggling & having a good time. Joanie emerged victorious, remote in hand & Fred Jr. Learned his lesson. It was hilarious to watch. LOLOLOLOL.

My sister could be a little Connery. When she was a kid, she chased me around with a snake.
