The Pedicurians Are Coming!

To start off this Independence day, my headstrong daughter wanted to have a little home pedicure. My wife did the honors, soaking feet and trimming toenails. Then my daughter insisted that it was time to switch. My wife started soaking her feet and then the phone rang.
Answering the phone, I started to do my usual wandering around while talking routine. Unfortunately, my kind daughter decided that I was to be included in the pseudo-spa day and started to follow me around with a pair of toenail clippers saying, "Dad, give me your foot!" loud enough to carry over the phone and dropping down to my feet whenever I paused. This lasted for about 3 minutes before I had to beg a moment away from the conversation to respond.
Beware! The Pedicurians are coming!

Interesting Sandwich Toppings

Over the weekend we decided to have a lazy lunch and went to Subway as a family. My daughter was her usual independent self, insisting on doing things her way. I must credit her, however, for fairly clearing expressing her desires. The most interesting part was in selecting toppings...

Lettuce, cucumber, pickles, tomato and Olivers.

She was mumbling a little, but it was fairly clear... especially repeating Olivers several times because we didn't know what she was saying! Once I figured it out it was time for a good laugh. We have had one of our friends' son over more for some play time. His name is Oliver. I would suspect he doesn't know that he is now a part of my daughter's diet!
