Conversations that Need Documentation

Here is what happened when Daniel called home yesterday:

Me- "Hey love, what are 3 things I can do for you to make your day better?"
Dan- "What? What are you talking about?"
Me- "I want to make your day easier, what can I do to help?"
Dan- "I don't get it.  What do you want from this?"
Me- "Nothing, I just love you and want to do something nice for you."
Dan- "Did you get this from Oprah?"
Me- "No!  I just want to do some nice things for my husband!"
Dan- "I don't understand."
Me- "NEVERMIND!  Geez!"

Here is a conversation I had with Ellie at church:

Ellie- "Mom, where's the bishop?"
Me- "In his chair up on the podium."
Ellie-"Where!?"
Me- pointing, "Up there."
Ellie- "Oh I see, the bishop is sitting in his sleeping chair."

Another Ellie conversation:

Me- "Ellie, go put some clothes on.  Why do you have to take everything off to go to the bathroom?"
Ellie- "Ok mom! I'm going!"
Me- "Ellie, if you don't go into your room and get some clothes on, then you can't see your friends today"
Ellie-"Ok, cause my friends don't want to see my butt."
Me- "You're right about that!"

Dan, you definitely dropped the ball. I think you can blame Oprah though.

Daniel said...

I often blame Oprah. And I'm usually right.

The conversation with Dan is hilarious! Corey would think I was playing some practical joke.
