The fake out

My little niece Ashlyn has taken her time to warm up to me. After a year she finally smiles at me. She lets me hold her about every five weeks. I keep track.

Marshall and I went to see the girls and Rory and Lauren the other day and got a great hug from Sydnee. Ashlyn walked into the room and squealed with delight. This is it, I thought. She really likes me.

I knelt down and held out my arms. She held out hers and started running to me. Giggling while she ran I knew it would be a great embrace. Just as she got within reach she turned and went to Rory! FAKE OUT! To make matters worse, she laughed at me. She knew I wanted a hug and used it against me. Clever little girl.

Next time I see her I will bring a cookie and give it to her, but just as she reaches for it I will turn and give it to Lauren.

It's been a while

Work has been so crazy I haven't been able to remember funny things.

However, the next two stories involve a beautiful girl named Lindsey, aka Peter. Sorry I can't help but share.

Setting: Lindsey and I watching the telly, a commercial comes on for 500 days of Summer

Celestyn: "I want to see that"

Lindsey: "Is that how many days there are in summer?"

Today at 7:00 am.

Rissa: "Celestyn!" yeah. I was supposed to be at work at 7.

Lindsey aka Eunice was also working at 7 and thought I was in the shower.

I wasn't I was asleep.

So I made it to work and said to her "Eunice! Why didn't you wake me?!"

It was Rissa's idea. A quote from a favorite movie. If you haven't seen She's The Man, you should.
