The Boy


One Step Ahead

Playing with Annie on the floor she dropped a VHS tape on my head.  As I'm telling Crystal what happened she decided to drop something else near me but just avoided hitting me in the head again.  Lucky for me too since it was a tissue.
As I was sitting up another VHS tape narrowly missed me.
Crystal laughed.

Headphone Review

Since I do some traveling for work, I decided it was time to get some Noise Cancelling Headphones.  The ones I ended up getting aren't the super fancy / expensive ones but after boarding the airplane and waiting for everyone else to get on, I was texting with Crystal about how well they work, here's the transcript.

Me: The new headphones work great!
Crystal: Do they cancel everything?
Me: Not quite but enough just enough, can't hear anything with music playing tho
Crystal: That's good.

< 5 min later >

Me: Someone just farted on the plane, gross.
Me: The noise canceling headphones do nothing to help!



How MacGyver Handles Diapers

Crystal asked if Annie had pooped her diaper because it smelled.  She asked me to handle it.



Handled, although if you want to scratch and sniff in that area, be our guest.

Brownie - The New Fruit

I wonder if I'm alone in this; whenever I go through the drive through I know what I want until I reach the ordering panel.  At that point my mind does an impression of a computer when the power goes out.  As a result I usually end up saying whatever I'm looking at at that exact moment.
Case in point: we stopped at Culver's to get a little ice cream custard for Annie's sore throat.  I ordered hers, got Crystal's order in and then ordered my sundae with one topping and completely forgot what else I wanted on it.  So I just said the topping directly under Marshmallow Cream (yes I like that stuff, leave me alone!) which was Brownies.
After completing the order and we started pulling around I explained my condition to Crystal.  She responded, "I wondered why you got that, you don't really like brownies."
"Yeah, I really wanted some fruit but after I ordered Marshmallow Cream I panicked and just said the first thing I saw."  I said.
"Brownies aren't fruit" she kindly pointed out.
"Yes, I know, thanks."
After we got our order and I took a bite she asked, "How's your sundae with Brownies, 'the New Fruit?'"
I almost spit out the brownie from laughing.
