Lashes9 with a Question for the Plumber

Not too long ago The Greek was fixing a plumbing leak under the kitchen sink. It was taking longer than he expected because some something or other would not come loose. At some point he rolled up a rug from the kitchen floor and placed it at the edge of the open cabinet so as to cushion his back from the hard edge of the cabinet bottom while he worked. Here is a snippet of the conversation I overheard between The Greek and Lashes9.

Lashes9: What are you doing daddy?

The Greek: Fixing a leak under the sink.

Lashes9: What is that rug for?

The Greek: It is so that I have something soft to lie on while I work.

Lashes9 (referencing the rolled up rug): How come you aren't taking it like a man?

The Greek laughs his laugh that I love. The one where someone's reply is funny but so different from where he thought the conversation was going that his laughter escapes from his body before I think he is even aware that he is laughing. As for Lashes9, he is a constant source of amusement. I honestly don't know where he comes up with half the things he says, but I do so enjoy his take on things.

A Terrible Job

Politician9: (to his sisters) Turn up the music so I can hear it.

SonicBoom6: It's girls music. It's about LOVE you won't like it.

Politician9: Momma likes love, turn it up for her.

Me: (being contrary) I don't like love.

Politican9: Yes you do.

Me: Nope. Can't stand it.

Politician9: Then why did you marry daddy?

Me: To make his life as miserable as possible.

Politician9: Then you are doing a terrible job. I think he really, really likes you.
