funny stuff I'll forget if I don't write it down
----------------------
ABBEY: "At school we play magic princesses with Colton's friend who's in 5th grade. My name is Irene and I have ice powers and tornado powers. My friend is a princess and I can't remember her name but she only has ice powers. Colton's friend is a magician and his name is AJ and he has fire powers."
ME: "Colton, does your friend get any crap for that?"
COLTON: "Pretty much."
----------------------
Little E, his friend who lives down the street and Abbey are outside playing tonight. It goes like this in our driveway:
ERIC: "Cheerleader slave! Go back to Matt's house and get us some chalk."
(Abbey takes off on her scooter)
ME: "Did you just call her a cheerleader slave?"
ERIC: "It's not my fault! She volunteered."
(Abbey returns)
ERIC'S FRIEND: "Thanks slave. (to Eric) What's the plan?"
ERIC: (starts drawing on the driveway) "Now we draw the Terminator camp."
ERIC'S FRIEND: "No no no, I have a better idea. Let's draw the Terminator camp!"
ERIC: (deadpan) "Dude. That's what I just said."
ABBEY: "Do you guys need an umbrella?"
ERIC'S FRIEND: "Send the slave for some food."
ME: "It's time to clean up guys."
-----------------------
TAKEAWAY #1: Even if we worry about Colton's tendency to choose chess over football or read a book instead of riding a bike, at least he's not playing magic princesses with 2nd grade girls.
TAKEAWAY #2: I need to introduce Ab to Gloria Steinem.
