However, humorous stories aside, I adore my daughter and wouldn't want her to be any way other than herself. This weekend I will show you her softer side, as she performed in her ballet recital:
She was in such a good mood that when her twin brother photobombed her
she was all "Lady Bountiful" and refrained from smacking him down like the hand of God.
Later, as we were enjoying celebratory water ice, she opined about Alanis Morisette's "Isn't It Ironic" thusly: "Rain on your wedding day is SO not ironic, unless you're marrying a weatherman."
UPDATE: Since I know certain people like when I include photos of my husband....
How could you not love blog entries about your daughter...written by you?
ReplyDeleteThere, Joe, I added that last one special for you.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome.
and THANK YOU.
Just because someone drives you NUTS, it doesn't mean they aren't wonderful ...
ReplyDeleteSo very sweet! And you know I adore all 5 of you, so I loved this post.
ReplyDeletelittle miss certainly has grown this year; such a pretty girl!
ReplyDeleteand you can NEVER go wrong posting photos of charcoal's daddy...WOOF! HUBBA HUBBA!

ReplyDeleteshe certainly looks lovely in her ballet attire.
She is so cute!!
ReplyDeleteFor the title alone, I became a devoted follower of your blog...and the comment about your daughter being Lady Bountiful made me snarf my morning cuppa.....I have Starbucks in my sinuses now, but it was worth it....very funny!
ReplyDeleteJill, every so often I run into someone who doesn't get the title. It's so disappointing. I mean how could you go through life never hearing someone say "Go shit in your hat"?
ReplyDeleteI can't even listen to that song without arguing back, "No, it isn't!" so I'm with her.
ReplyDeleteThere used to be a weatherman, back when I lived in Charlotte NC, named Larry Sprinkle. It wouldn't be ironic if it rained on HIS wedding day!
