We had a battle royal going on here. Monday night Jon was trying to hear something on TV and Shorty was gabbing to me. He gave her a teasing: "You know, you talk more than your mother sometimes."
After recovering from a "HEY!" and a quick pummeling from his women, HG threw down the gauntlet at his feet.
"Daddy, I bet I can make it without talking to you until 8:00 tomorrow night." After some trash talk from both sides, it was settled. If HG could make it until 8 pm without talking to her Daddy, he would have to clean his bedroom. If she slipped up and spoke to him, she'd have to clean hers.
I made sure I left some clothes and towels to be hung up and put away so Jon would have something to clean up. The Booboo can be pretty stubborn.
Pretty soon there were post it notes all over the house: Give up now Daddy. I got this one in the bag. Hear me talking? Oh no you don't!!
So, as of 8pm last night - HG was declared the winner.
