Not Appropriate

Laura: When are you leaving for work?
Me: A.S.A.P.
Thalia: Daddy! You said pee! That's not appropriate.
Me: What? Oh, I said A.S.A.P. as in "as soon as possible."
Thalia: (shaking her head slowly in disappointment at her daddy's potty mouth) You said pee...

(I can't wait to turn the tables on her the next time she sings the alphabet song.)

Daylight Savings Morning

Early this first Daylight Savings morning, Sophia sidles up to me and whispers...

Sophia: Daddy, I'm feeling really cranky this morning. Can I have some chocolate from my basket? Mommy usually lets me have chocolate on the way to school in the mornings. It helps me to wake up better. Can I?
Me: Yes.
Sophia: Thank you, Daddy!
Thalia: Daddy, I'm feeling cranky too...

(I suppose I shouldn't let them have chocolate for breakfast first thing, but watching Sophia tenderly share a Hershey's Chocolate Bar with her 3-year-old sister is the sweetest thing I've seen all day ; )
