You’ve probably noticed how the bloggy waters ran dry whilst the kids were away.
I have no excuse.
But the girls? They have returned.
With a vengeance.
Cassidy was home for just over 24 hours before she left me itching to crawl under a rock. Any rock really.
It happened when a couple (first time grandparents-to-be) came by to look at the Pack’n'Play we’d listed on Craigslist. This couple was typical in almost every possible way. The only thing that, perhaps, set them apart was the girth of grandpa to be.
He was on the large side. And Cassidy, the observant little thing she is, noticed.
I was so busy demonstrating the set up of aforementioned Pack’n'Play that I barely heard when Cassidy asked the grandpa 2 be (G2B) whether or not he had a baby bump.
My ears, though, did perk up when I heard his response, “no sweetie, I’m just fat.”
I looked up from my assembling hands to see Cassidy, perched next to G2B on the couch, rubbing his belly as though a genie was sure to appear at any moment.
“Oh,” she replied, “you like to eat?”
Oh. Em. Gee. No she did not just say that.
Deep breaths.
I would very much like to have shoved Cassidy face first into a nearby plush ottoman but I thought better of it considering the potential for a CPS call. You know. You never can tell with those Craigslist peeps.
Jeff, meanwhile, was at the grill, obliviously working on his second beer of the evening.
So he didn’t get to witness Jayce (imitating his big sis) rubbing G2B’s impressive gut and mimicking Cass in a repetitive, “you like to eat? you like to eat? you like to eat?” chatter.
Seriously.
And here I thought I missed her.

Oh my word…I’m rolling right now! :) Oh…uh…I mean…wow…that’s unbelievable. Where’s that girl’s mother?! I mean, seriously?! ;o)
Well, that is sure a comeback in the bloggy sense! Gosh, I have missed your posts. They usually have me howling!
Why do you think I decided on Beer number Three for the night!??
I love Cassidy. I just love her. :o)
I adore Cassidy! At least it sounded like G2B handled it well and understood that she meant nothing hurtful by it.
Oh, sweet Cassidy! Life would be so dull without her.
You painted a great picture. I can just see C and J sitting on the couch with little J mimicked his big sister. So funny! And even funnier after a little vino/beer!
The question is: Did they buy the Pack N Play?
;)
Oh my! Too funny…. (For those of us who weren’t there! ;) )
ARGH! Kids. LOL.
This is a literal LOL my friend. Oh my. Hope Grandpa has a sense of humor! And I really hope they bought that pack-n-play!
Did u just give them the pack & play?
I hate to admit I don’t read and laugh out loud very often, but this was histerical! I miss Cassidy!
So did they buy the pack-n-play?
Ha ha ha! That is hilarious. He sure handled it well. How much did you charge for the pack-n-play?
Oh, and why is it that even when the men are at home, they miss all the good embarassing moments like that?
I can’t wait to meet her! She sounds like a riot Tell-it-like-it-is Cassidy!!
That’s hilarious! Btw, I have a little giveaway going. I’d love to return the favor… ;)
haha that’s hysterical :-) don’t worry – the kiddos downtown ask me that all the time!
LOVE IT!!!!
Oh, that is hilarious!
*lol* One of the many gifts we get for having children. It’s like that time in WalMart when Rory was 3 and screamed (and I mean SCREAMED) with amazement “HEY! THAT GUY ONLY HAS ONE EYE!” yikes. The man just laughed (hard) at my embarrassment…
