Monopoly

This afternoon's Daddy/Aerin Monopoly brawl turned ugly. I couldn't make a good roll; she couldn't make a bad one. As my misfortune mounted, and her fortunes increased, Aerin couldn't stop laughing. She ended up on the floor, holding her stomach. She would get herself under control and get off the floor for a minute. Until my next disaster send her back to the floor.

Mercifully, the game was short.

But Winter's Almost Over

After church today, Aerin was famished. As she popped another grape in her mouth, she said, "I'm getting ready for hibernation."

More Wisdom From Aerin

Pretty girls can still pack a punch.

Unfair Restriction

A couple of weeks ago I did demonstrations at Aerin's school on how to do a science project. Aerin told me that I couldn't use any scientific words.

It Pays To Listen Carefully

Tracy and I were discussing some friends that have a son with Aspergers Syndrome and twins with a more severe form of Autism. Misunderstanding, Aerin said, "I'm artistic!"
