Endless Love

We fully comprehend our future parents-in-law responsibility that came part and parcel with birthing Olivia. The pre-wedding talk with her intended will be well-rehearsed. It will point out the benefits of marrying a girl with a demanding nature, the plus sides of forming a partnership with a girl who is decisive and sure of her wants, and the obvious financial upsides of her still sporting an inexpensive size 6X as an adult. But where we will be of no assistance to the young man will be in the affection department.

As I drove Olivia to school this morning, I reminded her that I loved her a great deal. "Nooooo!" she screamed, as usual. "Yes, Olivia," I persisted. "And you love Mommy, too."

She looked out the window and sighed. "What's goin' on here?" she muttered.

You're on your own, dear son-in-law.

Your options are many, including but not limited to Reverse Psychology and aerosol Prozac, but I bet she was just tryin' to give you assistance with a blog. And what a great idea it was. Olivia is obviously a muse, a genius, and gifted beyond her years.

Way to go, Olivia!!!
