June 21, 2014: Guest post from Aunt Piggy

We try to get the kid out of the house on the weekends, so she doesn't just spend the days watching TV.  Summer weekends are included.  Most of the time, those adventures involve Aunt Piggy, who supplies us back with plenty of great stories of E's comments with her.  Today's gem:

On a bathroom break; E, indignant: "They make you pay twenty-five cents for a napkin?! How rude!"
And after my explanation: "Do boys have to pay? Wait, do boys have periods?"

June 7, 2014: sign this contract

Nothing like walking along on your treadmill, being sucked into the internet vortex (see this blog post about the treadmill desks) when suddenly, your child shoves a contract in front of your face to sign.
She's been slightly obsessed with magic lately.

That's right, if you do freak out, she gets ALL your money

We're raising ourselves a little PT Barnum.
And we did freak out.  Well, if by "freak out" you mean "laugh hysterically" then yes.  We did.  And she got all of our bulldog bucks.
