You can double your points on that one if you're smoking a cigar or having a shouting match with the missus when she's in another room.Crazylegshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14467360884649854810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29019600.post-43300763447011686132009-09-19T20:21:36.805-04:002009-09-19T20:21:36.805-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Crazylegshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14467360884649854810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29019600.post-16931344285664776182009-09-19T11:06:25.107-04:002009-09-19T11:06:25.107-04:00Great post.

You seem to have the intentionally-awkward moments mastered, CL. <br /><br />I'm sure you may have already tried this - but if not, your kids seem to be at the perfect age to dip into the classics - <br /><br />as in, it's their mother's birthday and it's Birthday Gift Giving Time. After your wife has opened her present and card from you, you give her a big wink/leer and tell her in a voice loud enough for everyone can hear = "I'll give you your *real* present later tonight." ... Depending on the age of the kids, you may even want to do it with an Austin Powers accent. <br /><br />Never fails to get the eyeballs rolling. From everyone in the room except yourself. <br /><br />As for them never moving out, as Archie Bunker once said, "Birds gotta swim, fish gotta fry."Sonny Drysdalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01915022547342512921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29019600.post-7221902892556299572009-09-19T09:52:58.043-04:002009-09-19T09:52:58.043-04:00Well, it's funny, you know?

The Girl is 16 and vaguely becoming aware that, while Mom and Dad are from another planet, maybe that planet is closer to Earth than she thought The Boy is 13 and can't quite reconcile that 'parents are aliens' with 'Dad likes cartoons and video games, too'. <br /><br />And they're never moving out. They say they will one day, but we don't believe it yet!Crazylegshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14467360884649854810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29019600.post-60906794485227778682009-09-18T23:25:34.154-04:002009-09-18T23:25:34.154-04:00Sounds like a good time was had by all - almost. I...Sounds like a good time was had by all - almost. Is your son getting to the age that he understands his parents are actually from another planet?<br /><br />Don't worry about the reaction. He'll move out one day and pine for home cooked meals just like his mom used to make and secretly want to move back, even to the small space behind the furnace. <br /><br />He may never get, however, your sense of humour. It's that 'other planet - time warp' thingy.<br /><br />GAHG. Harrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15188849799366728069noreply@blogger.com
