Okay, let us start with a nice story about Charlie...
Wedding Day (I have quite a few about this particular day...):
My little cousin Kirsten made a card for Charlie on his wedding, it was adorable with the marker written on the front, "Happy Wedding!" and the little kid drawings scribbled on the front, Kristen proudly made it and was beaming happily when she handed it to Charlie. Charlie opens the card and reads it and begins to chuckle when he reads it aloud:
"To Phillip and Missy" (Missy is Charlie's wife)
Charlie just looked behind at Phillip, his twin brother and best man (Not identical twins though), "Phillip! I go to Iraq and when I get back I'm getting wedding cards for you and Missy! What have you been doing with my wife?" He yelled at Phillip, of course he was joking but he just gave that smug little Charlie grin.
Kristen looked at the card and began laughing too- everyone was laughing as they looked at the card. Kristen took the card back and scribbled out the name 'Phillip' and wrote 'Charlie above it.
Charlie kissed his widdle cousing on the forehead and thanked her for the card, to make sure that she understood that nobody was laughing at her (Yeah, Charlie can be really sweet at times) and to this day they still have That (Phillip) Charlie and Missy Wedding card.

Another Wedding Story!
When Marines have a wedding they get to 'borrow' some other Marines who would you know, carry the flags and everything at the wedding, well one of these guys was named Jason.
There was all this talk about the box where you'd put your wedding card looking like a real cake so our good buddy Jason just HAD to check it out! He sees it, this pure white- three tiered cake. He walks up and POKES IT! Cardboard. He says nothing and continues on throughout the night, till he sees another one! This one with a tan frosting with darker brown accents on it- a truly chic thing actually. He walked up and POKED IT! His finger plunged into the coffee flavoured icing and left a ginormous hole in the side- of course all the kids would see so they ran to Charlie. "CHARLIE!! CHARLIE! DID YOU SEE THE CAKE!?!?"
Jason just looked at us all and muttered, "traitors..." under his breath. It was funny, but Charlie didn't mind actually- Charlie's just cool like that.

How about a nice story about my mom's cop days?
My mother got a call that they needed help at this home so she started driving out, leaves littered the ground of the nice country road and as she neared the house and turned into the driveway everyone was yelling at her and waving thier arms like mad people. "Oh! Look how glad they are to see me!" My mother said to herself with a laugh as she started waving back with a broad smile on her face, her car driving along as normal when all the sudden 'THUD THUD!!'
"Well isn't that an odd place for a speed bump..." She thought aloud to herself as she stopped her car. The driveway was littered with leaves so nothing on the ground was clearly visable. My mom was called out to help them carry an especially large snake and you can only guess what she ran over. Luckily the snake was yet uninjured from the squad car and as the six men plus my mother struggled to lift the massive python they loaded it up into the truck. Yeah, and the stories of my mom's cop days can only continue!

The long awaited RACCOON STORY!!
A raccoon began visiting our house every day and my brothers Charlie and Phillip began feeding it, well one day it showed up and was smelling especially nasty for a raccoon- so Charlie and Phillip decided to give it a bath! They did of course and for several years my mom was oblivious untill five years pass and Charlie brings it up at Thanksgiving, he was totally busted!
Now time for an all time classic for my family!
My brother Charlie used to have a python named Joan of Arc, Joan for short. Well one time Phillip got to feed the snake, he dangled the little mousy by it's tail as he headed for the cage, before he could get there though, it flipped up and tried to bite him- and he dropped it.
My Dad laughed at this, "Oh, don't worry! If we leave enough food and water in the basement it'll never come upstairs!"
Weeeell! One day my mom was doing a load of laundry she put it through the was cycle and as she began taking it out of the washing machine, this wet rat began crawling up her arm, dripping wet but still alive. She burst out screaming.
*MEANWHILE!*
Charlie and Phillip were boredly watching the television when they hear loud popping noises and the sound of a little ricochet! My mom managed to get to the gun kept in the laundry room closet and blasted that rat to kingdom come! One shot of course, my mom's pretty much an expert markswoman- got a story about that for later!
My mother ran out of the laundry room, "Guys! Why didn't you come?" she asked the two kids who didn't even flinch as their eyes stayed glued to the screen.
"Well we figured you found the rat!" Charlie responded, of course Charlie always has the responses!

My mother was the second female cop in the county of Spotsylvania, so she faced alot of comments from the men. One day when they were on the shooting range the guys started a game that whoever had the lowest score would have to buy everyone drinks afterward, "Of course Barb, you're excluded because you're a woman." They said, my mom shook her head, "No, it's fine! Count me in!" she said with a laugh.
The shooting begins and when they look at the targets my mother got a perfect score, first time in the history of Spotsy! She got a low time as well, beating all the guys clear out of the water, some of the bullets shot even in the same spot. She outshot every single one of them! My mom, ace cop!
