The other day when I had Mimi and her little friends Zoe and Halliwell in the car, the subject of discussion was birthdays. It happened be Mike's (Zoe's dad) B-day that day. For whatever reason that I cannot figure out as of yet, these 6 year olds think that all dads have to be taller than the moms and they have to be older too.
Mimi: Mom, how old is dad?
Mom: He's 39 (not really)
Halliwell: Well guess what Mimi? MY DAD is 42 so that means he is older than your dad! Nyah, nyah, nyah.
Mimi: So mom, how old are YOU?
Mom: 21.
Actually yesterday was dad's birthday. Believe it or not I actually suffered from heat exhaustion on Friday afternoon until today. Although Saturday I felt a little better so we had some cake and ice cream when the neighbors came to visit. Today was even a little more better so at first I thought that it would be a great idea to try out a couple of places that we had never been before. We wanted to try a place out in Bellevue called "The Melting Pot" but it did not open till 4 p.m. and we did not want to come home from our buddhist meeting only to go out again so instead we chose Salty"s out in Alkai Beach. Oh man oh man!!! Was it ever sooooo good!!!
At first Mimi went with dad to get her food and when I saw her plate I could not believe what I was seeing. Our Mimi who loves food more than life itself had only a couple of steamed clams and watermelon. Dad said that was all she wanted. I thought to myself "uh huh". Sure enough when I came back with my two plates she ate most of what I had and went back for more as you can see in the picture.
