This Is Why I Have Bruises on My Head

Ellis (4), forcefully, loudly and through gritted teeth: “I am NOT incorrect!”

The rest of us in the van: “Yeah, Ellis, you are.”

Ellis, volume rising even more, though it’s hard to believe it’s even possible for such a small person to scream so loudly: “I AM NOT INCORRECT!”

No one says anything, for fear of setting her off even further and causing the van to burst into flames.

Ellis, sheepishly: “What’s incorrect?”

Commence banging noggin on the windshield.

  1. See, that’s the genius of being an uncle.  You get to laugh at your siblings as they bang their head against the windshield. 

    If your ever in Southern Oregon swing through Corvallis, it’s a great little college town.

  2. I know that sound - that “how can you get any louder...oh my stinkin’ heck, you just did” sound.

    I know it all too well.

    But in the case of this incident, I think I probably would have died laughing as opposed to banging my noggin’ on the windshield. :)

  3. Yeah, the problem is that if you laugh at her, it only enrages The Beast further.

    :-]

  4. Guess she follows the old adage, “shout first and ask questions later.”

Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

 

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
