Julia: Why did Uncle Paul leave us?
Me: Because there weren't any cute girls here for him to kiss.
Julia: What about me?
Me: I meant, cute girls Uncle Paul's age.
Julia: What about mom?
Me: I meant, cute girls, Uncle Paul's age, who he was not related to.
Julia: Oh. Now he can kiss girls in the States?
Me: You'll have to ask Uncle Paul that question. And trust me, there aren't too many times in life when you'll ever hear me utter those words.
***************
(lights turned off watching "State of Play")
a half dozen termites start swarming around the screen.
Me - Looks like our house is finally starting to pick up a couple of termites.
Jaime - Yep.
(insert conversational silence withtool Ben Affleck in the background)
Jaime - It's still not near as bad as the termite swarms over at ____ and _____ 's house.
Me - Is it bad over there?
Jaime - Yep.
Me - Good to know we finally are keeping up with the Joneses.
'nuff said.
