OK OK OK
So, as soon as I started to post the LIST, my children all had their comments and suggestions to make. It went something like this:
Trey: "Hey, Dad"
The Dad: "Hi, Treyboy...what's happening, what's going on, what's the thing..."
Trey: "So, you ought to have just one or two facts for each day and you should give each posting a title...what do you think about that right now"
The Dad: "OK Treyboy"
Trey" "So, buy an Apple"
The Dad: "Thanks, Treyboy"
Alison: "HeyDaddy HeyDaddy HeyDaddy HeyDaddy"
The Dad: "Yes, Alisony"
Alison: "So, I think that you should like give an example of like what AN answer would be to your children when they were 5 or so."
The Dad: "OK, thanks Alisony"
Alison: "AndDaddy AndDaddy AndDaddy"
The Dad: "Yes, Alisony"
Alison: "The listing about holding the door for the Mom was like totally sexist, totally"
The Dad: "OK, thanks Alisony"
Aaron: "Uhh... Hi Pop"
The Dad: "Hi Poot, so, what's going on..."
Aaron: "Uhh... did I really eat poo when I was a kid..."
The Dad: "No, Poot, that list fact was a metaphor on how parents can be overly cautious with their first child but tend to relax with the next children as they gain experience... It was a joke."
Aaron: "Uhh... Oh, I get it. Yeh, uhh... pretty funny, too."
The Dad: "Thanks, Poot"
OK, so the LIST for today is:
nibble, nibble, nibble, nibble
sip, sip, sip, sip
Everyone should have their own example and should contain the words;
simple carbohydrates, force fluids, TV remote and bowl.
Such fond memories...

I liked this post! Well, all of them really.
You forgot something, though.
Rest one day after. Right? Huh? Huh?
:)
One small problem there, Dad: aren't there just three each of the nibbles and sips?
Ah, fond memories of the throw up bowl. Does every family have a bowl that's designated the throw up bowl? As an adult that strikes me as kind of creepy.
And I agree with Trey that there are just supposed to be three nibbles and sips.
So, Alison, Trey, Aaron...no comments on the clever wording of the "conversations"
The Dad
Your conversations totally rock and I can hear them as I read, too. My fav is how right on you got Alison's (everybody's) but Alison's is the funniest to me. But You didn't ask me.
Trey I agree. I thought it was only sips and nibbles in threes.
Alison- the throw up bowl totally grossed me out when I first heard about it. To me that was a bowl for popcorn on a movie night and warm fuzzy feelings. We always used a little trash can with a grocery bag and threw it away.- most importantly we didn't look. Looking in the bowl and usually seeing popcorn but instead seeing your own vomit that you have to pour into the toilet is creepy. But I have adopted the whole bowl thing- it's not so bad. I think it's better 'cause you can flush it. and Trey usually does it for me anyway. Now I feel gross. should I post this?
mmmmk... simple carbs are things like saltine crackers which you should NIBBLE not eat half the box like I did. no proteins, like milk. and you should drink (force) a half a gallon of water.
My comments on the clever wording of the conversations:
Trey would actually say, "What do you think about that right about right now?"
I would only say "totally," like, once.
And I think it's sad that Gridgey's conversation doesn't have him saying "penis" at all. Back in the day, you couldn't have a conversation with the Gridge without two or three penis references.
Oh, and the way you start Trey's conversation is spot on. That's exactly what you would say.
