Old, but funny!
So am deleting and/or moving files from desktop to shinny new notebook (thanks devsgma) and found this snippet that must have been the beginning of an entry from at least a few years ago. Still made me giggle.
Me: *filling out Devin's book-order* Devin! Say 'Thank you, Mommy and Grandma. I will love you forever. You are Goddesses.
devsgma: *snorts* Laying it on a little thick there aren't you.
Monkey: Huh? Can't I just get my books!?!
Me: *to devsgma* Suppose one day this will end up in a book about a life spent in therapy? *To Monkey* Say it!
devsgma: Probably.
Monkey: Mom!
Me: *trying not to giggle manically* Say it!
Monkey: *Sighs in resignation and repeats while prompted - utterly unconvincingly*
Me: Now say it like you mean it!
My Dad: Tell her you aren't supposed to lie!
Monkey and Idiot Bro playing cards:
Idiot Bro: Devin's cheating! He's stacking the deck!
Me (from next room): *disbelieving* Even though you're dealing.
Idiot Bro: He hypnotized me!
Monkey: *protesting and giggling* I don't even know how to hypnotize people! If I did I would make Mom give me all the candy in the world! *slightly bitter* You don't see that happening.
ETA=> New pretty is named Draco, because while pretty was a cranky bitch with the set-up. ;)
