Choices

Last night Aerin chose to have a bowl of soup instead of McDonalds. Are we raising her wrong?

A Nearly Perfect Barge

As I got Brennen up yesterday, we heard the stomping approach and knew we were about to be barged. We knew what to expect:

• The door would fly open, framing the barger
  
• Arms akimbo, an "out of the blue" announcement would be made
  
• A stomping retreat would be accomplished before we could gather our wits for a reply

The barge commenced.

Imagine our surprise when framed in the door was Aerin instead of Tracy!

Aerin announced: "Your silly computer just froze!" And stomped off.

Brennen and I gave her an 8 out of 10. Though her form was perfect, we deducting two points because the announcement was simply too topical. We are certain, however, that as she studies at the feet of her sensei she will master the nuances of the barge.

[4/20]-Today's Baby Blues illustrates the same principle!

Tonight Tracy came to me all teary eyed. She said that Aerin had shown that she was her daughter through and through. Aerin asked Tracy for a checklist for next week while Mom is gone.

Glasses

Here she is with her new purple glasses:

Glasses

Aerin found out this week that she needs glasses. She commented that it would make her look like a nerd and I pointed out that I wear glasses...

I think I lost that verbal exchange.

Questions dad's never what to be asked

Aerin: Dad, can I get a bra? All my friends have bras. [A blatant exaggeration]
Dad: No

Actually, I said something more poetic and philosophical, I am sure.

Aerin the keen observer of humanity

At the mall last week, Aerin saw a white guy dressed like a gansta. She asked Tracy, "Mom, is that a wannabe?"
