Sometimes kids just leave you shaking your head!

OK, I admit it, my Jeep got a little dirty over the past couple weeks with taking it on a little 4x4 challenge and camping. But, when I came downstairs to go out and show homes the other day it had some writing on the back window. Now, I knew it had to be one of my kids as it was in the garage the whole time.

Hi Tascha

So, I checked out the writing and it said “Hi Tascha” in the back window, so I had a good idea who the culprit might be just by the name and the writing. It looked a little like the work of my six year old, Tascha. So, I decided to question her first on the fine writing skills and asked, “Do you know who wrote on the back of my car?”

Now, you would think she would have answered “YES, ME!” but, oh, no, not my daughter! She got a big smile and her face and said “I didn’t write on it, I just cleaned the window in the shape of my name!” This is where I shook my head and laughed, because what else could I do at that point? I told her next time maybe she could clean my window in the shape of a window so it is easier to see out of.

It's all a matter of perception. She's a quick understudy! I think you have your hands full.

As parents, we are challenged and blessed. Kids are great! Enjoy them when you have them. I would give anything to play the role of mom again. I never knew that Senior Year of HS would be the very last time my daughter would ever live with me. From there she went away to College in another state, followed by a job in another Country, back to the U.S. on the other side of where she was born, and now she's in another country.

If you still have kids - HUG them. LOVE them.

Todd,

Sounds like Tascha has all the makings of a great RE negotiator.  She's already polishing her skills on Dad.

These are great days in your life my friend.

ENJOY!

Todd,

I love her attitude!

She's only six? She sounds more like sixteen.

Dear Dad -

I'm always going to be a window ahead of you.

Love,

Knowing her like I do, I'm certain that is true.

I suspect that she, being the sharp and witty kid,  would just clean around the outside of the window, just inside the frame. That's cleaning in the shape of the window.

All my kids say something like this from time to time and I am worried that they are this smart this young, because when they hit sixteen and really need to be creative to fool me they just might be smart enough to do it.
