Chick-o-lay…that’s what Lexi calls Chick-fil-A. We ask her multiple times where we’re going just so she’ll say it. We had a funny conversation at Chick-o-lay today. Scott is one of those people that always has an answer for everything. He always has a quick comeback for anything you say and normally he turns your words around on you just to be funny. Me–not so much–I’ll think of something 10 minutes later, laugh to myself and realize how stupid I would seem if I would try to explain my oh-so-great-but-very-very-late comeback.
Anyway, I thought I had him cornered today but sadly, no. (We were laughing the whole time this happened so please don’t take this for more than it’s worth)
E: Mommy, will you play Chutes and Ladders with me when we get home?
Me: No, honey, I have to work but Daddy will…I bet he’d play five times with you.
Oh, I thought I had him. Emma has a fantastic memory and no way would she let him get out of playing anything less than five times with her.
E: Daddy, will you play five times with me?
Scott: Sure, I’ll play five times with you…(Scott looks at me knowing he has the upper hand) if Mommy’s nice to me tonight.
Me (faking a very surprised and happy voice): Of course I’ll be nice to Daddy, I love Daddy!

Lesson Learned: Play with fire and you will get burned.
