Tribute to Rhett

Rhett is such a great dad. Any moment he is not spending on working, he is dedicating to the girls. They love him so much. He is their number one man. I'm so grateful for a wonderful, dedicated husband. He is our everything.

I came across this and thought it was hilarious. It came out a few years ago, but, shoot, how can you get tired of it??? And even better--it fits Rhett to a T--"all his money goes straight to his daughters and his wife," taking kids to the splash pad in the mini-van, working in the yard, "Lord of the Grill," and watching Disney movies. (I do think I've seen him shed a tear or two in Aladdin as well!) Thanks Rhett, for all you do.

Summer, seeing my arm peeling from a sunburn: "Why is it doing that?" Me: "Well, when you sunburn, you just tan. But when I get sunburned, it kills my skin, and then peels off." Summer, worried: "Are you getting very, very old now?" (now in tears) "I don't want you to die!"

Looking in the dishwasher: "I thought there was a black leaf in there, but it's just a craisin!"

"I wish my head was in my mouth so I could see what my tongue was doing."

Rhett, after putting the girls to bed, then having to go down to their room again to tell them to stop talking: "I don't want to hear one more word out of here." Claire, innocently, and just asking to clarify, "How many words, dad?"

Claire told me she had "something" in her underwear. I asked her if she had an accident. She said, "No. I had a tooter and poop came out. Shooted right in there."

Me: "Stick your finger in your ear and see if you can get some of that ear wax out." Claire: "Nooooo. Because we have to lick it and that's how we wash it."
