W Sisters Short on Cleaning Up

by

I was checking with M about when/if the girls were going to put their bikes away. They were in our entry hallway and it was a bit crowded. Her response was that if the girls clean their room they would be able to go biking later when the rain stopped. Thus the bikes were still out and not in the shed. M continued that the girls previously said they cleaned their room. She mentioned she would go check in a bit.

A heard M say that from the other room. A then stops what she’s doing and said “I need to go up to my room for a minute to check on something.” I am pretty sure that was slightly transparent code for let me finish tidying up some books.

Full disclosure I find this funnier since I wrote it circa 2019 and never published it. Still funny though.

W Sisters Short on Maniacal Laughs

by

I’m not sure 100% why, however, when the other day the girls were trying to one up each other with their maniacal laughs, I thought I might be actually succeeding as a parent.

They used to spin around slowly in my office chair, holding stuffed animals going well well well what do we have here in their best Dr evil impression I was also equally impressed.

Now with our cat it’s almost like they have seen Austin Powers (they haven’t) because they do the same thing wi5h our cat and it reminds me so much of doctor evil. They have instead I try it and taken videos. Still winning as a parent if I do say so myself:)

w Sisters And Musical Theature

by

Part of the day is Sunday the girls spent easily an hour to practising a musical number. I can only assume it’s the opening number to the next great Broadway musical. They choreographed it. And they worked on their lines by doing the number over and over again. It was absolutely brilliant. I cannot give away too much of the plot. It had something to do with a human and a mermaid meeting up. I was lucky enough to be able to capture some audio of the practice. I hope one day in the far future the girls will enjoy listening to it just like I did.

W Sisters On Entertaining

by

One day last year I had a conversation with T that went like this in almost exact quotes:

I said “I am here to entertain you”

She said “you are here to be my dad”.

I replied “I am also here to entertain you.” I then said “guess what you (T) are here to entertain me”.

She replied “no I am not. I am here to carry on life”.

Very profound (and funny) for a 9 year old.

W Sisters on The Easter Bunny

by

This story is from 2021 and I don’t know why I never published it.

A tells M the other day that they (the girls) have a theory that M is the easter bunny. Apparently the girls went looking for cereal and they found on a high shelf the stash of Easter chocolates and candies that we had bought to prepare for the Easter.

The cover story will be that I ate the candy after M moves it. I am ok with that even if I don’t get to actually eat it

W Sisters Short on The Dentist

by

The other night (well really 3 years ago since I wrote this and never posted it) I was walking past our living room.  I heard the girls playing so I peeked in to see what they were doing. T was lying on the couch with a lamp pointed directed at her face. A is hovering over her holding the 13th doctor’s sonic screwdriver saying now let’s get the tooth out.

I cannot make this stuff up.  They continue to be my entertainment budget.

If Cake Is A Delivery Mechanism For Frosting…

by
Cake Frosting

I always maintained that the Weinstein‘s motto was cake is a delivery mechanism for frosting. If I hold that to be true, then this does not compute. We were out the other day and A was slicing frosting off her cake. She insisted that there was in her words too much of it.

I don’t understand. How can there be too much of it? I just wonder where I went wrong as a parent.

USA / Iran vs England / Wales

by

My kids may love living in England. However they may not yet have fully native however. This is based on their request to watch the USA vs Iran World Cup match instead of England vs Wales.

Of course after the USA’s first goal the girls did have me switch to the England game. That and we are watching football so their is that.
