[Setting: Date night for the Canuck parents. Driving hurriedly down the freeway so as not to miss our appointment.]
Cue the music.
Jamie: Don't let me forget to change my tail light tomorrow. Someone told me it is out.
Amber: No problem, my loving, hunka hunka hunka hubby of burning love (or something like that.)
Not even five minutes later, Jamie encounters a state trooper on the freeway and moves to pass him.
Amber: Err... Jamie? Do state troopers pull people over for broken tail lights?
Jamie: I'm not sure.
Jamie brazenly passes him. The trooper fires up the siren and turns on the lights.
Jamie: I guess that would be a "Yes."
[Fade music, dim the lights. Or would that be another kind of dim?...]
******************************************
Getting Hadley dressed and out the door in the morning can be likened unto banging your head against a wall. With thorns. Though she has gotten somewhat better lately, brushing her hair is still an on-going battle.
Amber: [Exasperated after a 10-minute battle] Do you want me to cut your hair off all short and ugly like Bode and Daddy's? (No offense intended for anyone with short hair).
Hadley: NOOOOOOO!
Amber: Then let me brush your hair!
Hadley: It hurts too much! I don't want you to ever brush it again!
Amber: I am doing it as softly as I can. Give me one good reason why we shouldn't brush your hair.
Hadley: Well, you don't brush yours.
Touché.

Baby Girl's hair, at this moment, is shoulder length. And I love it!! Cutting her hair cut down on the daily tantrum time - and to me, that's always a good thing. If I dared, I'd shave her bald...
HA HA HA HA HA!
Your.kids.crack.me.up!
Poor things, they didn't even have a chance to NOT be funny given their genetic makeup!
That's hilarious! (Both stories) So did you get a ticket? I wish I could just shave my head...it would definitely make my life easier!
awh amber!
her answer made me giggle out loud doll. loved that. thanks, kathleen :)
Clever little one you have there :)
No ticket, just a warning. In both instances. :-)
LOL!!! Very funny.
Happy Easter, Amber.
Heidi
Nothing says romance like getting a ticket..LOL
When did these kids get so darn smart? I don't remember having good comebacks like that when I was a kid. I blame the T.V.
HAHAHAHAHA!!!
She's got your number ;)
hahahahaha...totally pulled that with my mom (but she had curly hair and I had straight...didn't realize that till later)...she has had pay back now: whenever I am home, she has me blow it straight and iron it.
LOL. That was hilarious!! She's a smart one, Amber!
Don't you hate it when your child brings up very valid points...that you really can't argue with...*sigh*
I lived the hair drama. The best investment--Johnson's detangler-in the red/pink bottle. Not the white one. I poured that stuff on Amanda's head everyday until this year. Now she showers for me in the morning and I no longer have to endure the tears.
She is a smarty that girl! Haha!
Double ouch!
Oh, to be a fly on the wall at the Canuck house...
Those are great! Glad you only got a warning ; )
I have a granddaughter with REALLY thick hair and when she was little I HATED combing her hair because of all those tears.
Hahaha! But of course she doesn't understand that you don't brush curly hair....
That's funny. The hair battle is still waged in this house daily, and mine are 9, 12, and 13. I wish I could tell you it gets better, but only my 13 year old daughter cares if her hair (or teeth)ever get brushed. I've threatened the other two with a buzz cut also.
lol. nice one, hadley. well, you can give her that...even if she does drive you nuts..she is a smarty pants.
I've been through both situations multiple times. Now I'm wondering if they pull you over for a malfunctioning turn signal, and I'm not sure I want to wait to find out.
As for the hair, I told my daughter about locks of love and she went for it. Cut it all to her chin. Now the hair brushing argument only lasts 1/2 minute instead of 10 minutes. She can have lovely long hair when she is old enough to take care of it herself!
When will that man ever learn that you should never pass a trooper ever!
The exchange between you and your hubby and the cop too funny.
ooooo, snap! Score one for Hadley!
Okay, I did giggle at all these misfortunes...
But I do have a bit of a remedy for Hadley, the Ouchless brush... Works like a charm, for those that have to brush our hair....
LOL... well said Amber. I am glad my kids are too young to reason. When does THAT happen?
Oh, imagine going through that with three tender little heads. I thought ONE Of my girls would like pretty curled hair, but no, they are all pretty much pony tail girls. But Friday is "CRAZY HAIR DAY" at school. I can't wait!
Oh, and did you get a ticket for the tail light?
I love "touche" moments. you see how smart those darn kids really are. when you're left with nothing else to say.
i love those moments. when you're outsmarted by what you created.
she has you there...
but you got your husband :]
Let the girl get dreadlocks and end the needless brush torture and suffering!
My word verification was obece
Word verification is trying to send me a message. A misspelled message, but still.
everyone keeps telling me to cut my boy's hair! but in my mind he wont be a baby anymore after we cut it! (not that it has anything to do with hadley's poor predicament, i say tie her down and tell her to deal with it, bwwwahahahaha!)
Man, that's one cute kid!
We got pulled over for a tail light out by a Vermont State trooper with a tired 3 year old and a carload of balloons one night. He was nice and did not even write us up. We did not know the light was out!
