Unemployed

Avery really likes to draw. She’ll draw Dan and me, or Romey, or her house, a helicopter, whatever—she’s a creative (or so it seems).

Last night Avery was drawing and alternately distributing pictures to Dan and me. Each time she’d say, “Here’s a picture. Make sure you show it to your parents.” It’s a natural conclusion that while at preschool Avery’s teacher is telling her to “show her picture to her parents.”

We decided to dig a little deeper and asked Avery, “Who are your parents?” She replied, “Well, Uncle Tommy, Uncle Jake, and Matt.” We corrected her and told her that we (Dan and Susan) are her one and only parents; no one else, just us.

Her response will go down in Avery history: “Well, WHY are you guys my parents? Tell me the truth!” Naturally these words were accompanied by an emphatic bummer sigh. Sorry to disappoint, Avery. Which leads me to share these Donald Trump pictures of Romey—Dan and I are SO FIRED!

"Mom! You're fired!"

"Dad! You're fired too!"

"And you too blog-readers!"
