She’s in love with the boy
posted in Uncategorized |Actually, she’s in love with the song “She’s In Love With The Boy” by Trisha Yearwood. So OmegaDad bought her the CD, and we’ve been listening to it. (Let me just say, I love the idea of anime mashup with country music accompaniment…)
In fifteen years, you will see a young Asian-American country singer, I swear. Who dances like a dream.
Emotional whiplash: I’m staring across the dinner table at the dotter, feeling all gooey and mushy. She’s being charming and funny and fun to be with, and is singing this song. I’m sitting there thinking just how very kewl she is and how smart and funny and sweet she is, and how elegant and beautiful she’ll be when she’s grown up, when she turns around on her chair, sticks her butt up in the air, and lets loose with a trio of juicy raspberries.
“Pbbbbt! Pbbbbt! Pbbbbt!”
Oh, yes, truly elegant.
Then there’s the discussion about “she signs her letters with x’s and o’s” (another song on the Trisha Yearwood CD), and OmegaDad admits to the dotter that he and I sign our emails to each other with x’s and o’s. I inform her that the x’s stand for kisses and the o’s stand for hugs.
She immediately gets down, grabs a piece of paper, and says, “I’m writing a letter!”
One one side, it says, “To OmegaDotter, Love Isaac”. (Isaac is her current flame.) (Notice it does not say, “To Isaac, Love OmegaDotter”; she’s a little unclear on the concept of “to” and “from”.) On the other side it has a very carefully constructed Tic-Tac-Toe board with x’s and o’s filled in.
Har!
