Meg's Marriage Vow

Megan: My husband isn't going to be older than me like Dad's older than you.

Me: Why's that?

Megan: Because I don't want to be a widow.

And there you have it.

Rituals

Do you have any rituals at your house? Things you do with family members, but you don't even remember how you started doing them?

When I was a little, my sister and I would always want mom to "Rub our back, tummy and feet" at bedtime. How did that even start? I guess if the back rub was so good, why not go for broke and ask for a little tummy and feet action while you're at it, right?

Well, one of the many rituals at our house is the goodbye kisses Henry and I give each other. I have no idea how it started, but we can't say goodbye now without 3 quick kisses. I know the girls are around when we do this, but I guess I never really thought they were paying attention.

Until yesterday morning.



The girls and I were ready to leave for school ...

Me: Is Dad in the shower?

Megan: Yeah.

Me visibly disappointed, apparently: Okay, let's go.

Megan: Wait, pretend I'm Dad.

Me: Huh?

It was then that she gave me 3 quick kisses for him.

How sweet is that?!

Blog Girl

After cheering her heart out at a football game Saturday night ...

Megan: I think I'm gonna' lose my voice tomorrow because of all the cheering I did.

Me: You think so?

Megan: Well, I HOPE so.

Me: Why?

Megan: Because I'm shy when people come up and say, 'Are you that girl in the blog?' And if I don't have a voice, I don't have to say anything.

Me: Does it bother you to be that girl in the blog?

Megan: No, I like it.
