Quotables: Little Dude and The Friend of Harry Potter

Another installment of the ongoing adventures in the lexicon wonderland of Little Dude Vinton.
So here’s a top-to-bottom high five for Little Dude’s Kindergarten teacher who–I think– while we work on manners at home, is also reenforcing them at school. I say that only because the other night, after Little Dude …

“The Look”

I was trying to catch some moments of Little Sis’ cute “shower personality” when she got tired of it. I’m in a world of hurt when this little lady grows up if she’s already flashing me deadly looks of “Really, Mama?”

1 going on 16

At 16 years old my ear was either connected to a headset, a phone or a pillow. My broke-as-a-joke-thanks-to-crushing-long-distance-bills parents would tell you it was mostly the phone… you know, back when they had all the wires. I’d stretch that cord from one side of the house to another in search of privacy and a …

Nutella’s GOOD

Not that I’d know anything about it considering I’m enjoying a diet of straight tastelessness.
But Little Sis… Little Sis knows EVERYTHING about it.

And, unfortunately, we now know EVERYTHING about trying to take it away…

…Yaaaaaay Nutella!

Thwarted

Sometimes Lady-Friend doesn’t get a chance to luxuriate in the shower. That or even take one.
But I’m not judging. When I come home at the end of the day and Lady-Friend tells me she’s sorry she’s a “grease ball”, I’m cool with that as long as I get a high five and a “Man, you’re …

Every Holiday… Christmas!

So, yeah. Creating the expectation of plastic-wrapped joy for every holiday is a totally responsible way to avoid spoiling your kids. And by that, I mean it’s probably not.
Between the Memorial Day General, the Independence Day Eagle and the Labor Day Hobo (they’re real!), our kids won’t even need Christmas. But because we’re exorbitant and …

Trendy

The best thing about trendy is that it’s always cool right now. That’s especially true with photography and peasant dresses.

Of course, in a year we’ll wonder what the crap was wrong with us and:
A)  Why we put Little Sis in a dress made of hay bales and wall paper.
B)  Why I processed a perfectly good …

Opinionated

From the minute Little Sis traded umbilical for boob, she’s been… opinionated.
Don’t like being out of the womb? Cry for 8 months straight.
Don’t like Little Dude snuggling up? Slap his face.
Don’t want that water? Chuck it.
Don’t like your personal space being violated with a smooch from Mama or Papa? Shove ‘em.
Want that knife on the …
