Postcards from the Funny Farm

Just before bed, my oldest daughter (3) gets a little antsy. She can sense it’s time to go to bed and she’s not having it, yet at the same time … she’s tired, you can always tell by the stuff she says and does.

I have been making myself a drink (non alcoholic) when I get home from work because lately I have been really thirsty. I try to mimic my favorite premium beverage SOBE Elixr Power Fruit Punch, but instead of the high priced stuff at home, I bought a big jug of fruit punch syrup and hypnotize myself. I fill a large tumbler with ice, pour a bit of syrup in, fill it with water and then make than clanging stir sound. MMMM just typing it makes me want one now. My daughter calls it “a red.”

The other night my wife and I told our darling daughter it was bedtime and she proceeded to whine and whimper. She jumped protectively into my Papasan chair (I tend to give her what she wants regrettably) with me and said in what was a 1/2 cry, 1/2 trying to hold it together voice … “I want to … have a red with dad.” Cuteness at a Kilimanjaro height.

We both couldn’t help but laugh and let her have a “red” before bed. Our nights between 8:30 and 11pm on any given date are filled with stories such as these. I’ll try and post as many as I can. Seems like these stages go by so fast.

What cute things have your kids said?

• Jessica The Rock Chick: wrote a funny article about having her jaw
  propped open after a trip to the dentist. She’s got a slightly
  sarcastic sense of humor, which I relate with, and its funny to read her
  witty clever words imagining all the while her mouth was open, unable to
  talk. If you don’t have Jessica on your weekly reading list, make sure
  you change that.
• amypalko: posted some captivating still-life nature photos she took last
  week. The theme of the post is “reflections.” In addition to Amy’s
  thoughtful and well-crafted writings, her photos are very alluring and keep
  me coming back to see what she’s doing each week.
• This Eclectic Life: Shelly ruminates on the lost art of listening.
  Unfortunately all of us suffer from feeling like we’re not listened to
  sometimes. As always, this “wordsmith” who literally changed my
  blogging life once she found my post randomly, intertwines humor with
  thought and it al works to improve the reader in some way.
• Rosemarie: wrote a post alluding to some future interviews on her blog
  and a movie review. She writes from a Christian perspective and her
  posts are always uplifting and helpful. Check out her blog.
• Secret Agent Mama: has a post which is a collection of the best photos of
  the week. It is a stirring little set, you should go over and get
  inspired by it.
• Malcolm: One of the treasures of the week for me is Malcolm’s post
  featuring a young Morgan Freeman in a Listerine ad. MUST SEE!
• Nick Mercer: I’ve been enjoying Nick’s blog again after it was
  restructuring for a time. He’s a great resource. My pick this
  week is his post of “Wordpress themes to not be without.”

David Letterman’s production company has struck an independent deal with the Writers Guild of America that will allow “Late Show With David Letterman” and its sister program, “The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson,” to return to the air Wednesday with its writing staffs, according to a person familiar with the agreement.

As usual, Sarah tells family stories better than me. Go read her snippet on this humdinger. Note to self: Little kids are sponges, hence watch your mouth dad!
