But my daughter and her husband insist they can manage on their own.
Last night during a pretty aggressive thunderstorm, a huge lightening strike, along with an incredibly deafening thunder clap happened right next to our house. It was about 11pm and Susan was snuggled up to her Mother next to me in our bed. After a few seconds of Lori saying something soothing to our 9 year old she was holding, saying something like 'its ok, its just a little storm, we are safe...', I call out to our older 12 year old in her room just next door.
"Sarah!?" I called to her, in my normal tone to get her attention.
"Yeah? What?" She responded.
"Was that you?" I called back.
After a long pause Sarah replied "No Dad. That was thunder!"
I could not stop laughing.
As my wife and our dachshund were on the couch, she looks at me and says "this dog is warm!". I said yeah she's a Hot Dog!
You snuggle it across. If you cant bear to do that you are borderline insane, its not even against the claw!
"I am too." She said and started to snuggle up.
"I guess that means we're Egyptian."
"Why?" She asked.
"Because we're King Toots-in-common."
Explaining to her during bedtime snuggle that I'm about to make it so her bed is much higher than her little brother's...
Her- "oh like a junk bed?" Me- "no silly, it's a bunk bed" Her- "oh yeah (sheepishly), bunk bed" Snuggle a bit more Her- "do you know why it's called a bunk bed daddy?" Me- "no" Her- "because it's so high when you sit up you "bunk" your head on the ceiling" Me- hugs her tightly
My kids wanted to camp in the back yard. My wife set the tent up while I was at work and expected me to sleep outside with them. I had to work the next morning. My wife was going to camp with them instead.
For reference, I call my daughter my princess and me and my wife have a queen size bed.
Daughter:(trying to talk me into camping with them)If you don't sleep outside you won't get to snuggle with your princess! Me: it's ok, I'll have a queen all to myself. Wife:groan
My girlfriend is leaving for vacation tonight, and earlier she was trying to be all lovey dovey and snuggle, but I was trying to watch the football game.
Her: "Why don't you want to cuddle with me?"
Me: "I'm trying to watch the football game..."
Her: "But I'm going to be gone for an entire week!!!"
Me: "So are the Ravens..."
She threw a slipper at me and tried to fight back a smile.
I woke up and my wife was getting ready in the bathroom. She came back to bed and snuggled into me and all I could smell was hair spray.
I said, "That hair spray is a little intense."
She retorted, "You're intense!"
I replied, "Actually I'm in a bed."
