zooey

corinne has been a little under the weather. so, this morning i took corinne (and the other 2) to the doctor. as we were leaving one of the employees complimented corinne on her little stuffed pink poodle.

corinne: her name is zooey.

woman: she's really cute.

corinne: she bites!

woman: well i don't want to pet her if she bites. (reaches her hand out.) i'll just pet her back.

corinne: (moves the dog just as the woman draws her hand back.) ruff. almost. (as in almost bit you.)

then later on this evening we saw a man and his dog at the park. the girls were petting the dog and corinne says: i have a dog named zooey.

am i really that bad?!

the other night corinne wasn't feeling well. before i put them to bed she and i were sitting on the floor in the hallway outside the girl's bedroom door. she was laying down with her head on my lap. i told ella that corinne wasn't feeling well and asked her if she'd pray for her.

"dear jesus, thank you for this day and please help corinne to feel better on this day and please help daddy to have a good time working by himself (he was taking a potential new hire out to dinner) and please help mommy not to be rude..."

good grief!
