Kicking Dad When He's Down

(taken from our old .mac site)

Summer 2007

The four of us were in M’s room hanging out in the last few minutes before bedtime. Dad is lying on the floor, mom is leaning against M’s bed and we are reviewing the day’s events. M and L are playing quietly with miscellaneous toys. But M resents dad for taking all mom’s attention and decides to take some for himself. Mom sternly reminds him not to interrupt. M lets out a grunt of anger, walks over to dad, kicks him in the ribs and storms out of his room. We laugh about M kicking dad when he got in trouble from mom, and in the midst of that L toddles over with a smile and kicks dad in the ribs, then goes off to find M. We are both cracking up at this point.
