The Year Of Kindness

Walking into the kitchen I say to the family:
"This is the year of kindness."

Lollie: "What did you say?" with her nose all wrinkled in a believable way.

Me: "I said, This is the year of kindness."

Lollie: "I didn't hear you, what did you say?"

Me very much at the top of my voice: "I SAID THIS IS THE YEAR OF KINDNESS"

Lollie: "Well you didn't sound very kind just now"

I can play her game... I said: "I'm just giving the warning... it starts in 2008."

What does sober mean to you?

We were in the kitchen talking about our wedding and weather man dad says: "And I was even sober!"

Lollie (10) spouts out: "Wow, that's amazing!"

She's trying out sarcasm and everynow and then she gets it just right... but this surprised us a bit. I said: "Do you even know what sober means?"

Lollie: "Yes."

Me: "What does it mean then?"

Lollie: "Serious."

I thought we were going to die laughing... she used her sarcasm very well if I don't say so myself.
