Benjamin, while playing a difficult online video game: “This game is impossible!”

First time I heard him use that word. Pretty funny…

So, Benjamin is looking at YouTube videos and he says, “Daddy, some day, I want to go see an tock tick.”

I don’t quite make out what he is saying. “A what? A tock tick?”

“No, an tock tick. And penguins, ” Benjamin explains patiently.

Desperately scrambling for what he could possibly be thinking, I come up empty. “Benjamin, I have no idea what you are talking about,” I confess.

Now irritated at my stupidity, Benjamin petulantly replies, as if dealing with an idiot child, “You know. Penguins. In the Antarctic.”

I’m pleased with his ambition. Now I just got to get that kid some diction lessons. And a smarter Daddy.

Becca: “I really like Baby Alive. Daddy, will you buy it for me?”
Daddy: “Maybe someday, sweetie.”
Becca: “Aaaw, ‘someday’ means ‘never’.”

After a big meal.

Daddy: “Oy, I’m full.”
Becca: “Full of what?”

My baby girl can ride a two-wheeler!

So proud of her. and even better, she’s so proud of herself.

Way to go, Becca!

Daddy: “… then we’re going to take you to the dentist.”
Becca: “Today?”
Daddy: “Not today.”
Becca: “Tomorrow?”
Daddy: “Not tomorrow.”
Becca: “Tomorrow tomorrow?”
Daddy: <smiles>

Love that gal!
