averygoodun42Dinner coversation between Geoff and Babe last night. Babe had lost interest in what was left on his plate and had wandered off to play with his cars.
"Ooh, look what I have on my plate, Babe. Corn."
"..."
"This corn sure does look good."
"..."
"Would you like some corn?"
"NO! NO CORN!"
"Okay, then. I guess I'll just have to eat it."
Geoff stabs corn and opens his mouth. Babe runs up to Geoff's chair.
"Oh! Oh! Oh! CORN!"
"Would you like some corn, Babe?"
"Wanna corn!"
"How about, 'May I have some corn, please?'"
"'Nk you, dad for asking nicely."
I couldn't keep from laughing at that. I know I shouldn't encourage him, but... He's unfortunately got the smart-ass gene from both of us, so it shouldn't be a surprise that it's developing already. And yes, I'm pretty sure he knew what he was doing. This isn't the first sign of mockery from him.
In other news, Geoff and I went out to dinner last night. It was our fifth anniversary. Yay! It was a good night of yummy Italian food, and I was way over dressed, but since I looked good, it's okay. I don't have a photo that I like, so I'm not going to show you. (I am so not photogenic. I remember telling one of my high school friends that when he asked why I shied away from cameras, and he looked at me as if I was stupid and said, "Oh, come on! There's no such thing as unphotogenic!" He was too polite to take it back when I showed him what I meant, but he didn't make that statement again.)
But I did look good, and I felt sexy, and Geoff looked dapper (even with the cowlick from hell), so it was all good.
But, to make up for no photo of the happy couple, here's one of Babe.
He's getting soooo big! He refuses to be a big boy, though, which is rather aggravating. Ah well. I'm sure soon he'll see the benefits. When we can think of some. *bites nails*
So far, today has been fairly nice. Mulched and fertilized the garden (except for the "lawn", but the spreader and fertilizer is out there ready to go!). Helped neighbor retransplant some plants (I have tools! And I do like to see the dears thrive.) Had two showers, one before I went outside, one after (silly, silly me for taking a shower before going outside.)
Geoff has gone shopping, is fixing up my bicylce (as a surprise, no less!) and hasn't done any of the (two) things I've asked him to help with. I am not surprised.
Anything else? Oh! I've managed to win 4 games of two suit Spider solitaire in a row. The one suit ws becoming as boring as Aisle rot. Perhaps soon the two suit will become just as boring and I'll move onto the three suit.
For tonight: Make dinner which depends entirely on my motivational level. Either leftovers from dinner last night, or chicken enchilada casserole type thing. Probably leftovers, though.
Maybe sketch a bit?
Perhaps try to solve that sewing problem.
Possibly get Babe to bed before 10, so we can watch one of the movies we've got. Either Barbarian Invasions or Mephisto.
Hopefully get some more writing done on SMHC, and some plotting done my little seedling. The heroine needs a past...
Oh, and laundry. joy.
Ah yes, and make bread, as today is nice out but it's looking like it's going to be horrible for the next few days. I really do hate summer when it's hot.
Anyway, that's that. Hope you have a wonderful day/evening/weekend!
