That is....This!

I took yesterday off and spent the day with Curly Top. A nice and relaxing day!

We had our breakfast and after awhile of playing in her Princess Castle Curly asks, "upcorn daddy?"

"You want some popcorn?"

"Aaaaahright."

Being that she ate a great breakfast and that I love popcorn too, I go into the kitchen and pull out the popcorn maker. I pour some popcorn oil in the pan, then some popcorn in and.....

**POP**

**POP**

**POP POP POP**

**POP POP POP**

Then it starts going off like a machine gun and Curly starts chanting, "upcorn! upcorn! upcorn!" while she dances around in a circle.

I tell Curly to go sit down and she runs into the family room and climbs up onto the couch waiting patiently for me.

I get her a little dixie cup and fill it up with popcorn and hand it off to Curly while she says, "Thank you daddy."

I ask her if she wants to watch a movie and she quickly replied, "Easy goin?"

I stare at her trying not to have my frustration explode and yell, "Why the fuck do you want to watch that shit over and over and over all the time????"

But I didn't.

I just smiled at her trying not to lose my control as 1073 times you've seen Follow That Bird from Sesame Street, it starts to get a little old. I don't want to watch, Finding Nemo or Shrek or Monsters Inc. or anything else that I've seen over 43 times.

Maybe a Shirley Temple movie, she loves Shirley Temple; however, I'm not in the mood to watch Shirley either...I would really like to watch one of my war movies, maybe Saving Private Ryan in honor of the 60th anniversary of D-Day. It would be a good history lesson and she'll be the only kid in pre-school who will know what FUBAR means.

FUBAR = Fucked Up Beyond All Repair

"Daddy? Easy goin? okay?"

Easy Going is one of the songs in the movie sung by Big Bird (Carroll Spinney) and a little girl who probably ended up posing for Playboy. Either way though, they sing the song in a nice harmony and Curly loves this song so the movie is called by the name of the song and not the name of the movie, "Easy Going".

Here's the chorus:

Easy goin’
We’ll laugh our cares away
On this easy goin’
Easy goin’ day

I can sing this song backwards if you wanted me too. Anyways, I don't want to watch this movie in hopes of not breaking the all time record. I remember we haven't seen The Wizard Of Oz in a long time! Whew...I can enjoy that. If you don't remember this movie, Uncle Bob's son Andrew gave a nice review of the movie.


Curly Top and myself are sitting together eating popcorn when the Munchkins start singing "Follow The Yellow Brick Road". Curly Top gets her Cuban motion going shaking her hips and sets her dixie cup down and gets off the couch. She then proceeds to start following an imaginary yellow brick road around the couch and promptly gets me to join, "Come on daddy....daddy? come on."

I get up and together we start marching around the couch while Dorothy skips down the yellow brick road with the little midgets....errr, Munchkins sing.

Follow the yellow brick road.
Follow the yellow brick road
Follow. Follow. Follow. Follow the yellow brick
Folllllow Follllllow Follow the yellow brick

Lalalalalalalalalalala

Time for nap time.

Zits R Us

I put Curly down and make my way to the computer. I caught up on a ton of blogs that I haven't been able to get to in awhile, I had to visit a lot of blogs and do a ton of reading so I might not have left a comment for everyone, but I certainly tried heh

After that I go into the bathroom to take a shower. I have all this free time since Curly is down sleeping and I'm not going to work so I start staring at my face. I smile big, and realize that since I've been outside my tan makes my teeth look whiter. Cool....The darker I look the whiter my teeth look.

Now I know what to do during the winter, I'll just bleach my teeth and I'll look like I have a tan. Damn I'm good.

Nobody Rocks Like Me.

I start picking at my face and after awhile of that I jump in the shower and scrub up and get out. I towel off and while I was brushing my teeth I realize that I have a huge bruise on my nose now from picking at it.

Dammit.

Not like I have a perfect complexion but I sure as shit don't want a big 'ol bruise at the end of my nose that looks like a zit.

Maybe I can give Rudolph a day off this year.

After Curly Top gets up she wants to do flash cards. She loves flash cards.

I flash a turtle...."What is this?"

Curly - "That is tootle."

Me - "Yes!!!!....what is this?" as I flash a dog

Curly - "Doggy!"

Me - "Yes! What does a dog do?"

Curly - "Ruff Ruff!"

Me - "Yes! Is this an apple?" as I flash a card of a hat.

Curly - "Nooooooooooooo daddy, that is hat!"

Me - "Yes! what do you do with a hat?"

Curly - "Oh head" she says as she points to her head.

Me - "What is this?" as I flash a picture of the planet earth.

Curly - "That is....this!" as she points to the flash card.

Me {chuckling} - "It's earth."

Curly - "Oh earrrrrth." she says like she knew all the time.

Me - "How about this?" as a flash a golden zipper

Curly - "That is....this!" as she points to the flash card.


So that is how my day went....nice and relaxing and I had a great time with my little Curly Top.

So today, if anyone asks what the hell is on my nose, I'll just say...

That is....This!
