Mac (3yr old) has this new game she likes to play with me. It doesn’t have a name yet, so we’ll call it “Laughter All Around at the Expense of Daddy” It’s great fun! It all started in Branson. We were eating hotdogs and chips and started talking about how good everything was (because i love me some hotdogs and chips). I’m trying to instill good healthy wisdom into my kids despite my current pre-disposition to eat only junk food:
Me: “yes, they are great but we should only eat junk food every now and then or you’ll get fat like daddy.”
Mac: “I want to be fat like daddy!”
Me: “It’s not good to be fat like daddy”
Mac: “But its funny!” (laughter all around at the expense of daddy)
And thats how it started. Now she (and occasionally Tristen (8 yrs)) will walk around and stick her stomach out as far as she can “I’m fat like daddy!” ((laughter all around at the expense of daddy) … or when she’s eating she say something about eating a lot because she “wants to be fat like daddy!” (laughter all around at the expense of daddy) … She laughs at it, that evil little sinister three year old!
Yesterday was the latest installment:
Mommy: “Mr. Incredible got fat.” (we’ve seen the movie 1.3 million times but we were just dialogging for the kdis)
Me and Tristen: “Yeah he did”
Mac: (sheepish smile quickly transformed to an outburst of laughing) “FAT LIKE DADDY!”
*sigh* …. (laughter all around at the expense of daddy)
well, I did work out last night (yes, on my heavy bag among other things) and I’m eating much better since we got back from vacation. But if mac keeps it up much longer, i may have to check myself into a clinic 
awwww……
