Denied again...

Dear Nicky,

This morning Mom rushed you guys out of here and over to Granny's to spend some more time with Aunt Za and your cousins. Trouble was, Granny was in a foul mood yet again. I was once again lured out there with the promise of food. This time it was an early lunch at a nice restaurant while Granny watched you guys. But when I arrived I heard talk of stopped-up toilets and leaky ceilings and Aunt Za and Uncle Den were making ready to depart ASAP. So we schlepped out butts back home. You fell asleep in the car and Mom and June went to the mall. They hotfooted it back home quickly too, because Junie almost got herself lost and Mom was so upset. After everyone's nap, we went down to Target and got some stuff, then to Chimney Rock for an early dinner, then we got ice cream, which you played with but did not eat. When we came home it was straight into the tub, then we watched Sleeping Beauty, then some Lion King, which didn't really hold your interest. I tried to read you guys a bedtime story, but you were too tired and couldn't sit still, so it was straight to bed, right after the usual hug-kiss-squeeze.

Love,
Dad
