When Dad JJ or Jonny are deployed(yes of course
)
4. How do I make you laugh?
When you are watching football and yell and scream at the ump and expect him to hear. ( HE should darn well learn to listen)

Wonderful until your teen years and you met Dad, Nan's been in therapy ever since (so you ARE walking home from work next week then?)

Because you will let me use the car to go to work?

Any place you have Dad to yourself for a while (you have it my love .... but you are still walking unless you have chocolate cake to go with the chai latte)
