slap

tonight, right before dinner,
Zoe had me pause, look her straight in the face and then full on slapped me on the cheek. I did not yell, but sent her straight to her room. I am so mad and hurt I sent her dad to talk to her. We NEVER hit each other, EVER. I understand she is tired and probably hungry.. It is dinner time. She was mad at me for looking at a present she brought home from school.

After her time in her room, Bruce went to check on her... via a story Finn told him and what Zoe said, the "punch" line: she saw on a cartoon that when a character forgets something, you slap them and then they remember.. She seemed to think it would work the other way too and that I would forget seeing the project she made at school
.

I took me a long bit to shake it off and her a bit to not feel embarrassed and mad.. I fed her, we hugged (i.e. I tackled her on the floor and tickeled and hugged her)

We cuddled and watched a show.. Annedroids..

ah.. parenting...

History fair: Renaissance

Waitress: anything else I can bring you?
Zoë: a time machine would be nice, then I could go back to the history fair and do my presentation again. It was fun!

quote on gaming

Z: Hey, want to see me go pee
M: you can pee in Minecraft?
Z: well, I made a way for you to.
