unusual landscaping…

daughter: ok, i’ll mow your lawn if you tell me why there’s a bacon sandwich in your backyard?
little tobin: it’s for my friends…
daughter: what the hell kind of friends you trying to attract?
little tobin: cute little birdies… what’s it to ya?
daughter: i don’t want to mow the lawn and have bacon flying in my face…
little tobin: but everyone loves bacon…
daughter: not as lawn decor!

 

age appropriateness…

little tobin: that top is SO cute! where’d ya get it?
daughter:

little tobin: (somewhat spitting out her ginger ale from laughter) my god you are delusional!

review of mud…

little tobin: (devilish grin)  soooo do you think matthew mcconaughey will be covered in mud?
daughter: MA! it’s not that kind of movie…
little tobin: TURN this car around!
little tobin & daughter: HAHAHA!

(begrudgingly proceed to see the film)

little tobin: amazing! he deserves all the awards…
daughter: that was fantastic… i want to live on a river boat and sell fish for a living…
little tobin: you would starve…
daughter: true. (another dream squashed)

(4 thumbs up! – would have been 5 if he had at least put on a mud mask…)

scented spring cleaning…

daughter: ok let the clean up begin!…
little tobin: alright i’ve got my gloves and lysol…
daughter: i thought we were just raking leaves?
little tobin: yeah exactly…
daughter: oh yick they are all wet and stinky!
little tobin: wait, wait! (scurrying back into the house, reappearing with a jar – sprinkles contents of jar on leaves)
daughter: what the heck are you doing? are those someones ashes??!?
little tobin: noooo, jeezz.
daughter: what is it then?
little tobin: (sprinkling furiously) it’s a scent! so there ya go, now they smell nice!
daughter: you have to be kidding me… now it’s a wet soggy smelly moldy pile of leaves that are perfume scented, this makes it so much better. thanks…
little tobin: (smiling like a school girl) you are welcome.

review of oblivion…

little tobin: hey that movie was pretty good but where was the robot?
daughter: i know… i love tom cruise but wall-e was a much better star.
little tobin: yeah tom can’t compete with that cute little guy!

(3 thumbs up but come on tom – do you really need to steal from a robot?)

little tobin: why you up so early?
daughter: it’s moving day!
little tobin: WHAT? you’re moving today!?!
daughter: YES!
little tobin: i thought you were kidding…
(don’t fret – the saga continues. I am only 2 minutes away and she has a spare key.)

opinions needed…

little tobin: hey how does this look? (completely serious look on her face)
daughter: you have no pants on…
little tobin: so, what does that matter? just come on, how does it look? (doing a half spin sort of move, still with no pants)
daughter: stop! can’t judge without the full outfit, put some freakin’ pants on.
little tobin: maybe this IS the full outfit.
daughter: oh god!

little tobin: how do my eyebrows look?
daughter: (long perplexed pause)
little tobin: i enhanced them with liner…
daughter: oh right. yes, i would have never known.
little tobin: jerk.

daughter: (still standing in the doorway…) i got a haircut.

5 hour appointment?…

daughter: how was your doctor’s appointment?
little tobin: oh it was fine… but gosh it took about 5 hours…
daughter: you were at the doctors for 5 hours?
little tobin: not really at the doctors, just at the hospital…
daughter: huh? what are you talking about…
little tobin: well for a few hours we were following some cute guys around…
daughter: are you freakin’ serious? you were stalking some guys at the hospital?!
little tobin: who the heck said stalking?! that’s crazy… we just followed him wherever he went…
