March 23, 2104: the battle

E has been trying to convince us to have a real life WoW style battle on this rainy day. I'm the rogue, she and Daddy are both hunters.  She only has 2 bows. 

E: Daddy just get somewhere safe in the game and then we can start the battle here.
Me: buuuuuuuuurp  
*I know, I'm classy, you don't have to tell me.
E: That was a battle of your own intestines.


EDIT:
About 20 minutes after that, I hear Daddy in the kitchen fixing sandwiches.  Then I hear the following:

Daddy: Hey, E, come in here
E walks into the kitchen.  Then comes a weird clicking sound.
E: You weren't even in this battle!!!

(turns out that he was standing, waiting for her with the nerf crossbow, and she walked into his cleverly devised trap)

I love this family.

Mar 8, 2014: "what's a gay?"

So, now we're watching Dr. Horrible on Netflix.  E loves Dr. Horrible, both the show and the character.  I explained that the actor is Neil Patrick Harris, and  he's married to a handsome man and they have 2 kids who are adorable.  She asked how that happens, how 2 men have kids.  I said that he's gay and that gay men have to adopt children to have a family generally.
E: what's a gay?
Me: when boys love boys or girls love girls.
E: Well, I'm a gay then.  I love YOU, mama.
Me:  Well, it's not quite the same.
E: I love G.
Me: yes.  That would make you gay if you still loved her forever.  And that would be just fine.
E: Okay.

Why do people thinking explaining what "gay" means to their kids is somehow a challenge?  It's just all about pointing out that love looks different for everyone sometimes.

PS: she now wants to see pics of NPH and his gorgeous family.   Thank you, internet.

March 1, 2014: don't talk teenager

E is watching the Teen Nick Top 10.  It's a video countdown.  Remember when MTV had music videos on?
Anyway, she's completely enamored with Teen Nick.  We've had to occasionally explain that some Teen nick shows are a little grown up for her, but for the most part, she just likes the music.

Anyway, her dad was explaining what a hook is in music.  At one point, I told him he is adorable.

He danced over to where E was sitting on the couch and said, "I'm supes adorbs."
E gave him her most condescending look possible and said, "Don't talk teenager if you aren't one."
