Dear Ann Landers,
om and Dad fight like cats and dogs. I wish I had a dollar for every time we kids had to separate them and beg them to stop yelling so we could get some sleep. Dad's favorite gag is to take embarrassing pictures of Mom and pass them around to friends when they go to a party. Once he caught a picture of her while she was asleep, with her mouth open. Another time he took a picture of her washing the kitchen floor in an old bathing suit and tennis shoes. Last week Mom put a rubber snake in the medicine chest, and when Dad opened up the chest, the snake popped out and he darned near had a heart attack. There are five kids in our family, and we are raising each other. In case you haven't guessed, they both drink a lot. Can you help them straighten around?-The Five J.'s
