Actual Conversations...

Scene: Sean and Autumn sitting in front of the TV, watching a new episode of Jon and Kate plus 8.
Autumn: I think that when it comes to the presidential election that Mitt Romney looks the most like a president.

Sean: Yeah, if all the delegates were to be cast in a movie Mitt Romney would be cast as the president.

Autumn: Yeah. (She goes back to eating tortilla chips.)
End Scene

Issues Smissues. Around this house we apparently cast our vote according to looks. Since this is the case, Mr. Obama stands a good chance and I guess Hillary Clinton looks as if she could play the role as well. I imagine I will have to do a little more research.

Scene: Sean and Autumn sitting at the dinner table, planning the next week's menu.


Autumn: I can make potato soup this week.


Sean: (pause)....okay, but we can also make chicken noodle soup.


Autumn: You don't like my potato soup.


Sean: Not as much as your chicken noodle soup.


Autumn: That's okay. I never can get it right anyway.


End Scene.


I have a feeling Sean has wanted to tell me this for a long time. Consider the air cleared.

Scene: Sean and Autumn getting ready for bed.


Sean: (he looks at my stomach, his eyes get big) Wow, Jared is really getting big.


Autumn:......................................................................................................................

I have no comment other than the fact that I sometimes wish I was a screen writer.

  5. Very funny. :) I bet you're cute. You may not feel like it, but I bet you are. :) Remember, it's not forever. In a couple of months, you'll be back in your normal clothes. :)
