I took Thing 3 to his allergist appointment late this afternoon. Doctor appointments are an adventure with him. And by adventure, I mean they are usually filled with screaming and tantrums. He was actually quite good today and even let the nurse weigh and measure him. Still, it had been a long day with Thing 2 home sick and Thing 4 sent home early with pink eye. This was the exchange we had when we got into the car to head home.
Me: Let’s go home. I’m ready to drink some wine. Should we do that?
Thing 3: Daddy, we don’t whine. No whining.
I guess all the times we’ve been telling him to stop whining have sunk in. Sort of.
I’m not quite sure how to say this; you made it exemertly easy for me!
You mean I don’t have to pay for expert advice like this anreoym?!
That’s really thnnkiig at a high level
. “’Deadliest Catch,’ that’s about fishing. We get killed by a show called ‘The Closer’ about which I know nothing about except it kills us in the ratings, and we get smaller ratings than WWE wrestling…. Of course, all of those shows also kill Mr. O’Reilly’s show in the ratings as well as everything else on Fox, as do Sponge Bob, reruns of NCIS, and Hannah Montana, Forever, which is totally understandable. They are all more watched than The O’Reilly Factor which is totally irrelevant.â€
