I kind of use my Facebook status updates as a log of Kate’s new things, and every couple of months I scroll all the way back through them and write important things into her calendar – when teeth arrived, new words, illnesses, etc. Sometimes though the status update just makes me giggle and I wanted to save a few. :)

“Hon, what did you do with your steak?” “It’s on my plate (duh).” “… I see an empty plate?” We both stared around the corner at, yes, the empty plate…. and saw, beneath the table, a cat eating steak.

From living room I hear Kate crying and crying. I hear Den consoling her to little effect. Then he says, “Did the kitty get you?” Crying stops. “Kitty? Kitty!” Apparently crisis is over.

The movie we were watching had a device that coalesced a new “Earth” from space matter. Me: “Only it would take a few million years to cool down.” Den: “That would be a pretty lame movie ending.” Me: “A few billion years later, the first prokaryote appeared.” Den: “THE END!”

Kate likes to turn her sippy cup upside down and bang it on her tray to make a terrific messy puddle. I turn around and see her doing it again, walk over, and take it out of her hands. She looks down, throws her hands in the air, and says, “OH!!!” as if just seeing the mess for the very first time. Cracked me the hell up!

Yesterday the xbox controller was blinking, meaning battery low/dead. I said so and went to take it in the kitchen to replace the batteries. Den took it from me and said to let him handle it. Later that evening I go to use the xbox and the controller is still blinking. WTF? I ask suspiciously, “Den did you put new batteries in?” “No. I never said I’d put new batteries in. I said I’d handle it. I got it working for an extra hour!” *facepalm*
