Me: I signed your name to the card for you. And I wrote a little message about how excited I was for the next 50th birthday party at Disneyland. Or the 30th birthday party in 2012.
Dan: You’re a nut.
Me: Although maybe by then we wouldn’t be able to go because we’d have a newborn.
Dan: Or sports cars.
Me: What?
Dan: Well, if we decide not to have kids we should buy impractical two seater sports cars.
Me: …
Dan: I miss your mom’s car.

Dan: I wonder if anyone will complain about my new WOW character’s name. *chews on pen thoughtfully* So far, no one has said anything but… *gags*
Me: What’s a matter?
Dan: This pen was behind my ear all day while I was sweating at work. And it’s not even one of ours. I don’t know where I picked it up from. *gag*

Me: Don’t you have to be up in 4 hours? Shouldn’t you go to bed?
Dan: I’m not tired.
Me: Perhaps it was all the sugar in that dessert.
Dan: What dessert? I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Me: I’m talking about the dessert you practically licked off the container.
Dan: “Practically?”

Dan: *singing* Why can’t you seeeeeeeee you belong with meeeeeee. She wears something, I something something.
Me: You know what would be fun?
Dan: What?
Me: If you learned the words to a song before you started singing it.

Me: Ugh. I hate this game. From now on, “the F word” is referring to Farkle.
Dan: Ok Sweetie.
Me: I have thus said it and it shall be so.
Dan: …do you mean “so it has been said, so it shall be done.”
Me: Right. That’s what I said.
Dan: You know what would be fun? If you learned the words to a phrase before you said it.

Me: I can’t seem to find a costume for this party and I don’t have time to keep looking. Maybe I’ll just go to Macy’s and buy a black dress that I can wear again.
Dan: Macy’s does have cute LBDs.
Me: …did you just say LBD?
Dan: Yes. Doesn’t that stand for Little Black Dress?
Me: Yes but I never thought you’d know that.
Dan: How many times do I have to tell you? I do listen to you when you’re talking. Sometimes.

Later…

Me: I ended up finding a maxi dress that’s really cute.
Dan: What’s a maxi dress?
Me: You know “LBD” but not “maxi dress”?
Dan: I said I only listen to you sometimes.

—
Me: I’m going to get a bucket of microwave popcorn when we rent movies.
Dan: Get two.
Me: Two? Why?
Dan: So that when you inevitably eat one at lunch, you won’t make me go out to buy you another one to eat tonight while watching your movies.
Me: You know me well.

Dan: I can’t believe you rented “He’s Just Not That Into You” and “Confessions of a Shopaholic.” What crappy movies!
Me: How do you know they’re crappy? You’ve never seen them. Besides, you should really be thanking me for renting and watching chick flicks when you’re at work instead of making you watch them.
Dan: I refuse to thank you for spending our money on crappy things.
Me: Then I’ll never spend money on you again. Ooh burn!
Dan: Geez, what are you? 12?

My Aunt Arita turns 50 in August. Instead of having a birthday party at home, she decided to throw one at Disneyland!

Can you tell we’re related?

The trip was amazing. It was so much fun and it was great to see some of my family members that I haven’t seen since our wedding.
