The dispatcher reached out her hand and sweetly said "So nice to meet you, BethAnn." To which my beautiful step-daughter replied with a raised middle finger.

I could have killed the ex. In hindsight, I shoulda.

Another night, we were having dinner with his parents at a nice restaurant in our "Sunday Best" to celebrate someone's birthday. It was a Friday night and the place was PACKED - we had waited over an hour because he forgot to make a reservation. When the waitress got to her and said "What can I get for you, Sweetie?" BethAnn said, in what seemed to be her loudest possible voice, "I HAVE TO POOP!!!!"

Heh. When my daughter had just finished kindergarten, we were signing her up for a summer day camp. There was a small mountain of paperwork to complete, and one of items was a list of camp rules that we were supposed to go over with the kid. So I dutifully sat her down and explained "Listen to the counselors", "Don't steal stuff from other kids", etc. Then: "Swearing will not be tolerated." "Dad? What does swearing mean?" "Ummm well, swearing is when you say bad words you're not supposed to say." "Oh. <pause> Well, I guess that includes swear word fingers too." And she pointed her middle finger straight at me. I couldn't decide whether to laugh or to explain that tradition demnaded a vertical presentation.

Selling Scrip* tonight, my friend buys some "Chicken Jesus" cards for the babysitter to use when entertaining the brat.

ChuckECheese's.

*Scrip = gift cards bought at a discount by school, sold at face value = fundraiser

My kids have their swimming carnival on this Wednesday. We were talking about what strokes they're entered in. turns out it's everything for both of them. They're both going to try for age champion.

anyway, my youngest was talking about butterfly, and he said, "I'm the best in my class, but I still suck".
