My daughter and I were sitting at a table at the local Starbucks this afternoon. I had my coffee, and she was enjoying a slice of pound cake.

As always, I had my pocket note pad with me. She asked me if she could write something in it. I handed it to her along with a pen. She wrote this, and handed it back to me. I thought it was great!

In my younger days I crashed enough to cover a few other people so I assume some are safe Now that I'm over 40 I go by the rule your butt should never be higher than your head or you will pay a high price

That's what I am afraid of!!!

Great line....What did she want you to buy her???

I have learned that she ususally has another motive. I have not figured it out yet other than the fact Christmas is so close.


How old is she? It's freaking hilarious if she is like 5! Talk about home schooling!
She is 11 going on 21. I alway know what my 13 year old son is thinking, but I have to keep on my toes with her.

"There are only 2 people in life, those who have Vettes, and those who wish they had Vettes."

Great saying!!! Sounds like your little girl is a hoot.

To go one step further, while we were on vacation a few years ago, my wife and I had a conversation with "A guy with a corvette". Maybe he was short on time but he acted like he knew nothing about corvettes or his corvette. When he walked away, my wife said that he was "A guy with a corvette and not a corvette guy." I have always thought that was a great saying also.
