Long time, no post

Ok, I'm a bad blogger. Sorry for the long delay since the last post, which itself came after a long delay before the previous post.

Quick story: I've come up with a "motto" for my daughter, Samantha. I have her repeat after me, "No whining, no crying, no fussing, no fighting."

She's got it down pat. "Hey Sam, what's our motto?"

"No whining, no crying, no fussing, no fighting."

She's so good! Except, when she's not. The other day I was trying to get her dressed and for whatever reason, she was not cooperating. She was overtired and very weepy.

"Sam, now what's our motto?" I asked encouragingly.

"I DON"T WANT A MOTTO!" she cried back.

Laughter streamed from the other room where my wife was working. Hilarity indeed.
