My dad is, as with Steve Martin in 'Bringing down the house', "so white it hurts." But, he insists on trying to be cool and hip. Yesterday at the pool, he told Ashley that he was the "Bomb-Diggity." She chuckled, and shook her head in the negative. Really, he insisted, he was in fact very cool. Ashley thought on this and then replied, "Grandpa, you know you would REALLY be the bomb-diggity if you jumped in the pool with all your clothes on!"
Nice try Ash. Even the bomb-diggity grandpa is not that cool

Grounded...please be specific
Last week on Thursday evening Ashley left her Nintendo DS on the porch outside (for like the 3rd time). Since we have spoken to her about taking care of her belongings in the past, Adam Sr. told her she was grounded for 1 week from her DS.
The next day I arrive home on lunch, and the kids are watched by our neighbor. Ashley is laying on the couch, playing a DS. I immediately ask, "Ashley, aren't you grounded from the DS?"
Her quick reply, "Actually, daddy said I was grounded from MY DS, this is Laney's DS."
Uh...excuse me.
So I bartered for her to clean both bathrooms and she could resume DS privileges on all DSs in household.
