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.

W Sisters Story The Wrong Side of 10

by

Earlier this week i decided i was not ready to be the dad of a 10 year old. My soon to be 10 year old told me that i couldn’t stop it. She was right.

Here i am with a 10 year old. Today is our first non kids party party. Instead of a party with lots of ids at a play place or at the house she is having a few friends goto the movies and dinner.

On one hand no big party to put on. Or M to put on. On the other hand I have a 10 year old.

The title of this story is because for years when talking to the girls about turning 10 i would joke that they would be on the “wrong side” of the number 10.
