This Is Why Some People Remain Childless by Choice

Ellis: Mommy! Daddy! Look! I can ice skate!

Mommy and Daddy [not really paying attention]: Great, honey.

Ellis: Whee!

We finally look over and she is indeed sliding across the floor. The new flooring. The new, expensive and hard won flooring. But she doesn’t have socks on, like we assumed. Her feet are bare and it’s like they are made of teflon the way she’s gliding across the room.

Parent [can’t remember which]: Ellis! What is going on? WHAT. ARE. YOU. DOING?!

Ellis [excited and delighted]: Jell-O is slippery!

We have a no-spanking policy at the Deal Family Compound, but sometimes I question why.

1. She’s brilliant! :) Don’t squash it; she could be on to something!

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?
