Busted

Me: “Hey, do you know that young couple over there?”

Oldest Daughter, age 14: “Yes. They go to my school. Why do you ask?”

Me: “They keep looking over here, and are about your age, so I figured maybe they were trying to get your attention or something.”

Oldest: “Or maybe they just aren’t good at not getting caught staring at giant hairy Hagrid-looking dudes.”

Me: “Noted.”

High Compliment

Getting LASIK surgery today. I mentioned it to the kids this morning to make sure they weren’t too shocked that I wouldn’t be wearing glasses any longer.

My Oldest Girl, age 11: “Daddy, I like you without glasses. You look more like Hagrid.”

That’s a high compliment coming from that one.

Me, Hagrid

I dressed up as Hagrid for my friends M&B’s daughter’s birthday party on Saturday. Thanks to the WW’s brilliance with sewing, I was realistic enough to frighten several small children. No sweeter praise than overhearing a mom say, “No, it’s not really Hagrid.”
