On The Nod



I'm sure I can expect her to hate me for this later. 

We tried to head this nod off at the pass by serving dinner earlier and seating her on the bench. As you can see, it didn't work. She was able to get most of her chicken and bits of potato and cucumber down before she succumbed. 

I love that Sam admonishes his Daddy and tells him "don't mess with her" toward the end. He always stutters when he feels passionate about something. He terrorizes her but loves her just as fiercely. I think he was a little off put by our amusement at her condition. 

***I'd like to dedicate this post to Sarcastic Bastard and all the folks stuck in church, sleeping upright, tonight.

Sweet thing.

I love hearing voices of the people we read about on blogs.

Ms. Moon said...

Aaahhhh...
Daddy has a very southern voice and sounds exactly as I thought he would.
Poor baby girl. She just gets sleepy.

That's me at my desk at work every day.

Steph & Ms. Moon - Thanks, ladies! I joke about our drawling because I have a tendency to be embarrassed by people's extreme accents. I think ours is okay. Also, to Ms. Moon: Some Floridians sound like yankees. Are those the transplants? Do YOU have a drawl?

DTG - I had you figured for a bartender or architect. Architect it must be! And I combat hen pecking at work by propping my head back on the cabinet behind me. My neck is thick. It works great.

That Hank said...

Architect? Nay. I am a secretary for the great state of Florida. Your tax dollars at work.

All This Trouble... said...

In my book, that's way cooler than some old architect. Bukowski was a postman. Remember that.

That Hank said...

Oh, I like it. It allows me to indulge my office supply fetish.

All This Trouble... said...

Ooooooo. Office supplies! Post-its and boxes of staples sing me to sleep at night.

That Hank said...

Let me put it this way: I have more than one office supply tattoo.

All This Trouble,
I am touched. I loved it and you. Thank you.

Zoe is just practicing so she will be ready to watch the republican convention when she grows up. I always fall asleep during that bullshit.

And yes, I DO watch the damn convention, because you have to keep an eye on the enemy.
