I'm not sure that word means what you think it means . . .

I was telling Hayden the other day that I thought maybe I should lose some weight.
.
She responded, "Daddy, you're fat in a good way!"
.
So supportive.
.
.
Marley can be very exasperating at bedtime. She'll constantly call for Beth (mostly) or me (sometimes).
.
One night, Beth responded to one of these calls because Marley said she had to go to the bathroom. So Beth brought her to the bathroom and said, "Marley, after this I don't want to hear another peep out of you, OK?"
.
M: OK.
.
B: I mean it, not another peep.
.
M: OK, Mommy. Next time that I call you I won't make a peep.
.
So close, yet so far.
.
.
Hannukah season is fast approaching and the girls are more than a little excited. I had the following chat with Hayden about Hannukah:
.
M: Every night of Hannukah we light candles and, if you've been good, you get a present.
.
H: I know, Daddy.
.
M: Before you girls were born, Mommy and I used to give each other presents but we don't do that anymore.
.
H: That's because yours and Mommy's presents now are making Marley and me happy.
.
I think she meant to say that it's better to give than receive, but I'm not so sure.
