Conversation with Jess

Jesi comes walking into my room holding a DVD.  "Dad, instead of two shows can I just watch a movie since that would be the same as two shows."

Me (assuming Christi must have told her she could watch two shows):  "Who told you that you could watch two shows?"

Jesi:  "I don't want to watch two shows!  I want to watch a movie!"

Me:  "Yes, but who said you could watch two shows in the first place?"

Jess (with a furrowed brow):  "But I'm not watching two shows, I'm watching a movie and that's the same as two shows!"

Me: "But did somebody tell you it was OK if you watched two shows?"

Jesi (a pitying look on her face):  "You don't get it do you?  A movie is the same as two shows, and I want to watch a movie."

Me:  "Let's wait until Mommy gets back and then we'll talk to her about it."

Jess:  "You're still confused, aren't you."

  4. Morning guys - I took a week or so off in order to spend some time with the family and Bella before she heads home next week - and haven't been "in the blogs" because of that.

    Lots of great stuff here - absolutly LOVE the pool story and like you bro - wouldn't have passed that up for much of anything either!

    Jess is SO much like our girls - and Chase is quickly learning the same 'techniques' - and I have a real love/hate relationship with what we call 'parent shopping' to get the answer they want - it's so stinkin cute - but still - AAARRRGGGHHH!!

    And loved the pics of the show at your daughter's orphanage - wow - can't wait to see her where she belongs!

    love you guys - one dad to another - Happy Father's Day!

    aus and co.

  5. It's the scene from Monty Python's Holy Grail..."You stay here and make sure he doesn't leave."
