The Negotiator


"Tell me about this battle in the living room, Bob."

"It took me and Coop 75 minutes to build it and it is very awesome."

"That part I know. I'm wondering when you are planning to clean it up."

"When's the next dinner party?"

"Next month."

"Definitely by then."

"I was thinking more like today by dinner time."

"But I have more battling scheduled for tomorrow morning. How about if I do it by lunchtime tomorrow and you can help me and also I could have a peanut butter cup and a light saber fight in the backyard? How does that sound, Mom? Good, right?"

  3. I love how the dog is sitting quietly for once and could scatter everything with one manic sweep through the room. Which she is completely capable of doing.

    I would like the peanut butter cup. I can live without the rest.

  4. I babysat my 3 1/2-year-old neighbor boy this morning and we had similar negotiations as to whether or not he was going to explore my basement without me. I think he and Bob might be soulmates, although my little neighbor prefers Batman to StarWars (a shock, I know). I love it when he wears his full Batman mask to church.....

  5. I swear my kid and Bob would get along so well. My kid with Iron Man and his Transformers and Bob on the other side lining up Star Wars. Craziness.
