This is the sweetest thing G has said to me.   A tinyVoice shouting across the house “come give me a hug Daddy.”

Of course, she got this from me!   And she got it explicitly when I was trying to get her attention when I get home and her eyes are glued to the TV.   Sometimes it takes a while to break through the fog and make her realize I am here and am much more fun than Dora the Explorer. Sometimes I even have to dangle the hugs in front of her and then walk away before she realizes that I am not going to let her diss me for the TV.

The irony was that after the first wave of hugging, I went off to my computer and she stayed on the couch watching the tube.   She’s figured out that I won’t come hang with her and watch her shows, but, I might come over and give her a hug if beckoned.   I am such a sucker – it worked a couple times.   Then I said no you come over here.

She probably sees it as “I’m not going to let daddy diss me for his computer, muthafugga better come over here and squeeze me!!!!”
