Okay I am taking it to the people. Did he pass the interview section?


If we continue to do this.. This might be illegal and I might end up where Martha Stewart was but..Buy stock in DEPENDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A&A'smommy replied: awwwiee you poor thing!!!! I think he did pass the interview, he is such a smart boy and full of passion already at his age!!!

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I agree...he is very passionate about it. He definetly passed, momma! Put your head down and hang on! You've got one heck of a ride ahead of you!

Crystalina replied: Oh Goodness! How old is your little Buckaroo? I have a friend that bleeds the rodeo and I watched him one day....I couldn't stand it. He's 32! I couldn't watch that with my own son. If it's his passion you have to do what you have to do, right?

Mel, you have one special boy there...cowboy that is. He passed the test, but boy it would be hard for me to watch him too.

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: Rosin up that rope, Mel. You've got a lot longer than 8 seconds to go.
