Pseudonymous Chainsaw Guy

Conversation with my daughter as we sit lazily on the couch with our laptops.

Me: Do you like this photo?
Daughter: Yeah. You gonna put it on your blog?
Me: I guess. I need to write something to go with it.
Daughter: Who's that guy in the horror movie?
Me: Horror movie?
Daughter: Yeah, the guy with the chainsaw.
Daughter: Here, I'll google it.
Me: You want me to compare my father to some murderer?
Daughter: Maybe not.
Daughter: You should write something funny,
Me: But I'm not funny.
Daughter: That's true.
Me: Other people say funny stuff, and I write it down.
Daughter: You could talk about how you get your fashion sense from your father.
Me: What?
Daughter: That would be funny.

  1. I take it you and your father are both fond of plaid? *smile*

    I can see how your daughter takes after you... *smile, again*

    okay, we've got two plaids going on here but they are both in the blue family, so technically...it's a bit fashion forward.

    love the photo and the story!

    i'm guessing dad's fashion statement is, "it's spring, dammit! even if it is 40 degrees!" am i close?

    Student #1: "Who's that laughing out loud in the library?"
    Student #2: "That would be cloudscome. She's reading Jo(e)'s blog again."
