the return of bubba joe

It's been a while since good ol' Bubba Joe has been in KidStuf. Sunday he was back...and up to his usual shenanigans.

Here's an email about Bubba Joe I received this morning:

Dear John,

You will think this is funny. Yesterday morning before Kids Stuff you were dressed as Bubba and you walked past my daughter and you were standing beside her talking to Dana, I think one of the volunteers. She kept yelling Bubba, Bubba, then finally you turned and gave her a high five. She turned to me and said, "Mom, Bubba gave me high five!" I said, "Cool, do you know what that means? That means Bubba's going to be in Kids Stuff today."

She was like yea...Well then of course you were in kids stuff. It was funny...Well then after church you were back in your regular clothes not Bubba. I told her, "Look, there's Bubba." She said, "Where? I said, "Right there, that's the guy that plays Bubba." She said, "No it isn't." I said, "Yes it is." She said, "No it's not he's better looking and his teeth aren't rotten..."

Since when do people think I'm Bubba Joe? Bubba is Bubba. He just hasn't been in church lately.
