Making the Band

Olivia told me all about the band she was starting with two other girls in her class.
"And you know what we're calling ourselves?"
"What?"
"The Three Girls!"
"(Lol!) Wow... That's a very creative name there."

Scared Straight

"Daddy, have you ever been to jail?"
"No. Why?"
"Because I wouldn't want a dad that's been to jail before."
"So if I ever go to jail, you're not gonna love me anymore?"
"Ummm...  Maybe a little bit."

Talk about being 'scared straight'.

No Yelling

"Dad, did you ever yell at me when I was a baby?"
"Do you remember me yelling at you when you were a baby?"
"No."
"Then, no."

No need to ruin my rep.

The Not-So-Big Moments

We were up this morning, sitting on Olivia's bed, and talking about all the big moments and fun things we did in 2013. I asked her, "Of all the things we did this year, what will you remember the most?"
She answered,"When we were riding in the minivan for the first time."
"Minivan?"
"Yeah. To Hershey Park"
Apparently, the most memorable moment of 2013 for Olivia was when we took a 4-minute shuttle ride from the hotel to Hershey Park.... in a minivan.

Lol. Why do we try so hard?

The F Word

"Daddy, I know a 'F' word."
"Say what?"
"I know a 'F' word."
"What 'F' word do you know?"
"Fortune cookies!"

Relieved. For now.

FLASHBACK

FLASHBACK from this date in 2011:

"Daddy, can I have a ice pop?"
"Yeah, give me a minute."
"Daddy. Daddy. Daddy, can I have my ice pop, please?"
"Hang on."
"Daddy, look at my hands."
"What's wrong?"
"No ice pop."

Priorities.

"Liv, Liv... why do you keep bothering me? I'm trying to finish your homework."
