pride in a job well done

On the Big Island, in the car, we passed a place that had a big sign out front that announced they had "FREE SHOWERS." This both fascinated and scared my niece who exclaimed, "Free showers?!"

me: Yup. You want to go?
Sarah: Nooo!
me: We can stop the car.
Sarah: Daddy!
my brother: Don't worry Daddy will protect you. It's Daddy's job to protect you.
me to Sarah: Do you know what Aunty Jenny's job is?
Sarah: *shaking her head*
me: To give you a hard time.

my smart-assery knows no bounds

on the plane ride home:

Sarah: Aunty Jenny, did you have fun on this trip?
Me: No.
Sarah (looking mildly surprised): You didn't?
Me: No. Not really.
Sarah: Mmm... Was it because of the funeral?
Me: Yeah. I think it would have been more fun without dead people involved.
Sarah: Yeah.
Me: *nod*

all damage has been reversible

Not much to report. I go to work and I break things at work. The day after I broke the printer, I broke my desk. Well, the drawer to be exact, but it's more fun to say: I broke my desk.

If this is a progression of size, I should start taking the stairs.
