Don't Ollie Off the Furniture

I know it's wrong to let my kid ollie off the coffee table. The mother in me should have stopped Gio's crazy business. But the skater in me was intrigued and impressed.

Though, when my husband walked into the room, I got into big, big trouble.

Funny Guy

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Gio, screams. "I only have one eye! What happened to my other eye?!"

I think vacation is starting to get to him.

Asleep in the Doorway

On the way home from school, Gio fell asleep in the car.

"Gio wake up we're home," I say.

"Huh, okay," says Gio.

"Can you walk inside by yourself?" I ask.

"Uh, huh," Gio answers groggily.

He staggers through the garage into the house or so I thought. When I came in I found him asleep in the doorway, where he slept for over an hour.

He gets it from me. I do the same thing after a long day's surf.

Watch Out for Flying Clothes.

"Ahhhhhhhh! Get it off me now!"

The other morning Gio, Nadia the Dog, and I were in the bathroom. Without looking at Nadia the Dog, I could feel something was upsetting her.

However, she is usually upset about something. That something can range from someone almost stepping on her, to the wind blowing too hard, and rattling the doors inside the house.

"Yipes!" says Nadia the Dog.

I looked down to assess her current issue. Surprisingly I think this time she had a real reason to be upset. She had Gio's pajama top draped over her head.

"This pajama top is freaking me out!" yipes Nadia the Dog. "Get if off, please," she begs.

"Why does Nadia have your pajama top on of her head?" I ask Gio.

"Because I put it there," says Gio, waving his hands all about to describe the flinging action.

"Of course," I say. "She doesn't look like she likes it. I think she needs help."

"Oh, let me take it off," says Gio.

And he did.

"Thank you for saving me from that perilous situation," says Nadia the Dog to Gio. "But weren't you the one that got me into that mess in the first place?"
