unbrave new world for me


While I was running kids to and from soccer/swimming; hitting the hardware store for plumbers putty (no kidding) and shopping...Melissa and Reagan were out shopping.

Not just any shopping. Shopping for undergarments. This sparked this comment from Reagan to me yesterday, "Dad, this bra is really comfortable."

No. Nope. No-way, nuh-uh. My little girl? Where have you gone.

Mel cites all these facts while I cover my ears and chant "la-la-la-la". Her friends are getting them, heck one friend is already shopping in the feminine hygiene aisle.

Science has really let me down. I figured I'd have a time machine by now and would be able to keep reliving Reagan's years 3-8 by now.

I got to see one of these garments up close in the laundry and must say I was take aback by the lace trimming. I mean why does my little girl need some lace??? Mel, you've got some splaining to do...

Where are the breaks on this ride??? Am I really this neurotic? I am not sure there are answers to any of these questions...

Ian goes Punk

It, of course is my fault. You could say that about most anything. But this, this is pure genius. Yesterday, he and I were headed to get haircuts. He says, "what kind of haircut are you getting Daddy?". I give my stock answer, "mohawk". He giggles and says, "me too, we'll be twins." He is smiling ear to ear. Next comes the part where I carefully extract myself from getting said mohawk. He says, "i don't care I am getting a mohawk." I saw ok thinking Mel will never allow. She says ok.

Five minute update

Sorry, 5 is all you get today...ok at least for now. Here are the top stories from the past week: Thanksgiving. What happens when you don't see family and don't eat Turkey? Not so bad, sorry family. We had a blast watching the parade in NYC, it was a beautiful warm day. The kids and mostly Mel enjoyed the floats and balloons. We'll be back next year. You can see a slide show of the images mel took, far too many up to the right -----> Best quote at a concert, Best thing to happen to my brother in front of me, "Sir, would you buy me a beer?" -underage girl at State Radio Concert. Probably the last 18 and older show we go to. Save the security team, we were the oldest folks there... And FYI, Rob didn't buy her one, what a good guy. Then we talked about if we'll still come to these concerts if Reagan happens to go to the same one... We decided she isn't leaving the house watching some young girl crowd surf... Prickly Pear is out of the water....
