Light-Black And Decker

Two funny stories that happened to Jarom. One: Jarom teaches the 8-year olds at church. Jarom also has a few different rings that he wears. This past Sunday he was wearing one ring on each hand. They were both Tungsten rings and so both looked kind of similar. One of his kids observed this and asked "So, you're wearing two rings. Does that mean you have two wives?" Ha ha ha....NO!
