Overheard at My House

Chris: "Ok, I'm heading to work"

Cece: "Mom, I want to go outside"

Me: "It's too cold for Rex to be outside today...

Chris: "I will hurry home and stay inside with Rex while mama takes you outside"

Me: "That's a good idea. Let Papa go so he can come back soon and bring chocolate"

Chris and Cece: (shock)

Cece: (short pause) Daddy, I love you.

Chris: "Do you love me because you love me or because you want chocolate?"

Cece: (pause) "Because I want chocolate!"

Chris: "She is your daughter!"
