TDS: Pretty Cool

Yes, this is one of my less-inspired, shorter-than-usual posts. I had a long day yesterday, and there's actually two posts in here (if you read far enough).

I came home late from work last night, thanks to the inherent need of an IT department to thwart any attempt at productivity (serenity now... serenity now...), with barely enough time to move the car seat from the van to my piece of shit car so we could drop the van off for overpriced maintenance service.

The munchkin climbed into the back seat and I threw out my back struggled to get her strapped in, thanks to the seat having to be in the centre. It also meant that she was able to kick me in the elbow. Continuously.

So as we pulled away from the house, I put on the radio. I had a mix CD I had made for myself in the player, and let that play.

"Oh no, Daddy! I forgot my Doodlebops CD in the van!"

"That's OK, we can listen to Daddy music." I skipped to this track.


Open Your Eyes by Guano Apes
A few seconds later, she said, "It's OK that I forgot my CD. I like this CD now. It has some pretty cool songs on it."

She's three, and she used the expression "pretty cool". About Guano Apes. I think that's pretty cool.

In case some of you don't check there often, Mommy Blogs Toronto has become Better Than A Playdate (which isn't anywhere near as funny better than a stick in the eye, but is probably more appealing). There's a new format there as well, with everything going up on the homepage. I am still posting Daditorials over there, and on a regular schedule now too (every other Thursday). My latest is up today: The Working Poor.
