An hour from NY to Doraville and back.

A wicked sense of humour

  So my daughter (the apple of my eye, by the way) was in first or second grade when I picked her up from aftercare. She was pretty much always a happy child, for which I'm eternally greatful. One particular day, there was a twinkle in her eye that I just didn't understand.
 "Daddy," she said, "Guess who I saw today?!" She says this with this Southern accent that has always driven me to distraction - it makes me smile, coming out of her mouth.
 "Why, I don't know, Precious." Her real name is Kristina. Kristina Elizabeth when she's done something wrong. "Who?"
She says,"No,Daddy, you gotta guess!"
Well, at this point, we're strapped in, driving down the road, so -what better way to spent the 7 minute drive to the house than to play an impromptu guessing game with an 8 year old. :D I round up all the usual suspects, Grandma, Grandpa, people she knows from the neighborhood and move on to less probable entities like the Easter bunny, Elsie the Cow (the Borden icon, cow ) and on, and on. With each increasingly improbable suggestion she giggles harder and harder. I realize suddenly that she has to pee, and tell her as soon as we get home to run to the bathroom.
 Well! We get home, get her and the groceries out of the car, all the while playing this guessing game. When we get in the house, I remind her about the bathroom. She doesn't need reminding, because at this point she's doing the pee-pee dance, and says, "No, Daddy! Not til you guess!"
 "Ah, honey," I say, "I give up! Who did you see today?"
 With a grin that's halfway between :D and a grimace, doing the pee-pee dance, with, at this point, her hands between her legs, she looks me right in the eyes and says, "Everybody. I. looked. at."
 People, I'll tell you what: Very rarely am I speechless in real life.
I :yikes: She :eyes:
 I started laughing. Belly laughs that came straight from my soul. :lol: So did she. :lol:
Then she peed on the kitchen floor. :left:
*shrug* I cleaned it up while she was in the shower. :love:

Wonder where she got that joke from...

Hope this works

Sorry I'm not here more often, Dennis. I've been trying to be more active physically, and not spending so much time on the computer.rip

intothedeep 29. May 2009, 01:48

H82typ 29. May 2009, 08:01

@ into the deep: Thanks, Mags! *hugs* :heart:

L2D2 29. May 2009, 08:30

Glad to have that clarified, thank you. I thought a big box is a TV, so I was getting pretty understandably confused.:lol:

H82typ 29. May 2009, 08:42

Homer: Doh! Yeah, ok, when we were kids... a console tv was called that, where I'm from.

L2D2 29. May 2009, 19:29

qlue 29. May 2009, 21:08

No one's ever sure how to respond to Dennis! p:. Which might explain some recent censoring in the forums. :lol:.

H82typ 29. May 2009, 21:13

L2D2 29. May 2009, 21:50

We're being CENSORED? Where? When? Why? By whom? :knight:

H82typ 29. May 2009, 22:04

I was, in the forums. It doesn't matter, now. p:

L2D2 29. May 2009, 22:07

Well, I imagine you can get rowdy when you have a mind to.

H82typ 29. May 2009, 22:15

Captivevet 21. June 2009, 16:55

Ok fine. Want to feel old? Try moving a large refrigerator on a Sunday morning. Do it with an uncle who refused to listen to anything that you suggest.:coffee:

H82typ 18. August 2009, 19:14

:lol: Are you kidding, Tyler? Our corporate motto is, 'Working harder, not smarter, 'cause we don't know any better.' :rolleyes:

Since then, he has managed to drop a file cabinet on me that he wanted out of the basement. I still have a nasty bruise on my left ankle.

H82typ 18. August 2009, 20:48

:eyes: I shouldn't laugh, but :lol: :lol:

Captivevet 18. August 2009, 20:51

Sometimes he just gets manic. He just decided to move it and once again, he didn't bother with the equipment which he has, that would have made the whole thing safer and easier.

H82typ 19. August 2009, 09:32

:sherlock: Does he need a job? My place is always hiring!

Captivevet 19. August 2009, 17:06

My uncle doesn't need a job. He hates to admit it but he is wealthy.

Suntana 24. August 2009, 20:53

You don't have a Welcome Sticky Post or Guest Book or some All Purpose Post, so this is a good a place as any.

:hat: Happy Birthday, Dennis! :cheers:

H82typ 24. August 2009, 21:07
