Water into Wine

Every day I take a sports bottle of water to church. At dinner tonight I was going to pour some of that water into one of my daughter's cup. My wife thinks its gross to reuse a water container without sufficiently rescrubbing them clean. I tend to slack a little in rewashing it because I only use water in it.

AJ: "Ew, don't pour that fermented water into her cup."

Me: "What water cannot ferment."

AJ: "Jesus turned water into wine; water can ferment."

Like a Babysitter

Yesterday, my wife had to go out for a doctors appointment. That means dad gets some time along watching the girls. AJ has a pretty strict morning routine, especially for the baby. So before she left, I got the pop quiz:

A: "What time does M go down for a nap?"

T: "I know, I know, 10 am."

A: "And what time does she get up?"

T: "I know, 11 am--but I can't let her over sleep."

T: "Are you asking me because last time I forgot to get her up and get the kids lunch by 11:30am"

A: "Yes"

At least when we get a babysitter, they get a written note... all I get is a pop quiz because last time I didn't stick to the schedule.

Fighting for a Name

Like any good couple my wife and I had trouble decided on a name for this blog.

AJ: "Don't you think we should choose a gender neutral name so that it appeals to both genders?"
T: "Don't you think women like to see their men FAIL?"
AJ: "Well when you put it that way...."

Sometime winning the battle is losing the war.
