I just yelled (with absolutely no sarcasm whatsoever) “IAN! STOP DOING THINGS THAT MAKE YOU FALL DOWN!”

It is snowing outside and the girl came home and changed into her “disco outfit”.

A flowered sun dress.

I don’t know what you did last night, but I went to the Redskins game with my buddy De in DC.

It was cold and the Redskins lost but we had a great time.

I would tell you more but I am prohibited in doing so without the express written consent of the NFL.

And also I plan on writing about it for BlogHer on Friday.

Oh, and one quick word of advice. If you are going to a Sunday night football game that features a decades long divisional rivalry try to remember to charge your camera battery before you leave the house.

It is like “Stomp” at my house.

All. Day. Long.

(Um, hello side justification. I wonder how that happened?)

Please ignore my voice. I usually sound much less nasal. It must be a side effect of the raging headache.

It was almost bedtime and Claudia and I were in her bedroom picking out pajamas.

Mom, I’ve got something I need to tell you.

I know she is only four, but something about the way she said it - or maybe it was the look on her face - let me know that she had done something I wasn’t going to like. I got nervous.  My mind started racing, what did she do at school? Did she push Katie again? Did she break something?

Okay. I said. What do you need to tell me?

Mom

*she rips off her pants*

I accidentally forgot to wear underwear today!

I started cracking up.

First off, that was not nearly as bad as I was expecting. Second of all, how does one accidentally forget to wear underpants? Third of all, she was standing in front of me, naked from the waist down with a huge grin on her face. I think she had been keeping this secret all day long.

I know that some day Mom, I’ve got something I need to tell you. is going to be something horrible. For now I can deal with going commando as her display of independence.

I just hope her teacher didn’t notice.
