A conversation between Mother and Child Current mood: peaceful A conversation we had this evening whilst watching the Mavs game: Gabs: GOOOO MAVERICKS! Me: Wooooohoohoohoooooo! G: They're playing San Antonio M: Yep. Who do we not like? G: San Antonio M: That's right. At all times, whether we're playing them or not. Whether it's basketball season or not G: But shouldn't we go for the Texas teams? M: No. They are our nemesis! G: ....... M: Do you know what a nemesis is? G: An arch-foe? M: .......... Actually.... yeah. *Dirk sinks a shot from a ball that was saved from going out of bounds by one of the Spurs* M: DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRK!!!!! G: Uh huh. Oh yeah. He's tall. He's German. Go Dirk. Go Dirk. *complete with Cowboys pom poms* ---------------------some time passes-------------------- Phone: *brrrrrring brrrrrrrring!* [Actually, it's Beethoven's 5th, but that is neither here nor there] Gabi's Dad: Mavs are winning! M: I KNOW! I hate the Spurs. D: And West Virginia and Louisville are playing. Lots of good stuff on tonight. M: Well, I'm recording the Office, watching Survivor and flipping back and forth between that and the Mavs game, so I think I've got enough TV to watch tonight. D: Dude. You need a TiVO. M: Duh, Sherlock. D: I'm going to lie to Gabi and tell her I ate all of her Halloween candy. M: Dude, that's so wrong. *realizes Gabi is listening to my end of the conversation* She's going to be so mad at you. I can't believe you'd do that to a little kid. D: Hehehe M: You're going to have to tell her. I'm not going to break my baby's heart like that. *hands phone to Gabs* G: *dubious look* Hi, Daddy. D: [Hi baby. I hope you don't mind, but I ate all of your Halloween candy] G: Oh. That's OK. I'll just get more next year. D: [But you don't have any more] G: I don't mind, Daddy. You can have it. D: [Oh, I'm just kidding, sweetie. It's all right where you left it.] G: You can have some if you want. I'm probably not going to eat it all anyway. She's seven. So as you can see, I not only have the smartest and funniest kid... but also the nicest. She's so kind and good. I can't believe I made that. Weird.
