"What are you doing daddy?"

Uhm. Uhm. I'm uhm. 
I'm talking to my friends on my blog.
"Your friends? Do I know them?"
Uhm. Uhm. You met some of them.
"Who? Who Daddy?"
Uhm. You met Jasai, and Dina,

And you met Robyn.

"I know that's you."

Hmm? What you say baby?
"I know that's you Daddy."

"That girl in the picture. On your computer.  Right there.  See.  Why is that girl sitting on your head Daddy?"
What?! 
Nooooooo boo boo. That's not me! That's just a guy in the picture. His name is Lenny Kravitz. He's on TV all the time. That's not me. "

What are they doing?
Um. Um.  They're ... wrestling.

See, the kids are my favorite!

That changed the whole tone of my morning as I prepare for a damn near 2 hour drive to OC, in a tin can of a rental car (cars in for service) and leave a construction crew of what seems like 80 in my home....

"Sitting on your head....."

"I know thats you....."

"Im going to tell mommy." - Okay, best part to date!!!

Thanks Sista Nurse,

You right. I thought I knew everything about women, until I had a little girl.

See. This the part that got me. She didn't ASK me if that was me. She said she KNEW it was me.

I told her it wasn't me, told her it was another man and told her his name.

But nah.

She KNOWS already. So she pokes her lips out and stomps down the steps. Like I did something.

Just like a woman.

Always think they "KNOW" something and when they are wrong they are right.

(No No No Not Harry B the hard leftist as the new avatar. That's like putting a picture of KCNulan up. Put Calvin Lockhart back to represent the 'Blackest Man On The Interest'. Has Harry B ever had a Black woman as his wife?)

DV - you are lucky she didn't say:

"I LIKE WRESTLING like that. In 15 years I am going to be wrestling all of the time."
