Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Fine, but sneezy as hell; if it isn't the ick, it's allergies.
And... sigh. While writing the above sentence, I glanced over the laptop and saw that Matilda had fallen fast asleep, swooning gracefully on the couch in the hand-me-down flower girl dress our wedding flower girl had given her last year -- that flower girl was 9 at the time, so the dress is still ballgown-huge and foofy on her, and she looked like a toddler version of Suzi Parker in a '50s Vogue spread. Rousing her to slip her into PJs has resulted in a storm of sobbing, so I'm off for the time being.

Now tagless for your comfort.
It's hard to give up the gowns, poor noodle!

She opened the door so I called her on it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

She got so overwrought she puked in the sink.
I was the least sympathetic dad ever as I don't think getting into PJ's is worth puking over.

I have to agree. But then, Owen was running around in a cape, his socks and underwear earlier and called himself "Sock Monkey."

Emmett used to escape from the bath and run up and down the hall yelling, "Nudie Boy!"
I promise I will never mention this to his potential girlfriends.
Side note: I made him listen to his voicemail greeting which was from before his voice dropped. It was only two years ago but it sounds nothing like him now. He changed it.

Oh, have I mentioned? Emmett is now taller than me. In September, when we measured him at his physical he was still 5'9". In November, he's more than 5' 10".

Just tell Matilda. Someday. I would gleefully dig out the album from my brother's nudie phase for his gf. Hell, for his sons. . Adult rainboots and a straw cowboy hat. Aw yeah.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Cash, May I point you to Matthew 7:3-5 for Biblical support for "It's called hypocracy, asshole." That's just ridiculous.
