Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Zagones



So I really want to read this new book "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" because I'm a nerd for zombie media, but I DON'T want to read "Pride and Prejudice". That would just be awful. And I wouldn't want to be seen reading it either. I just want to get to the zombies. But I need a little background. So thank god for NETFLIX! I order the Keira Knightley "Pride and Prejudice" from '05. And I'm watching this heaving bosom 15-year-old chick flick and folding laundry when Ike comes down from his nap sucking his thumb. He watches me and the movie quietly for a moment; hair mussed, sleepy faced. And then he pops his thumb out of his mouth and rails at me:
"What in the heck are you watching? What's wrong with you?" 
Before I can answer, he grabs a handful of his socks and storms out.
What's wrong with me?
Indeed.

The Bad Daddy Game


So the in-laws (MiMi and Papa) are staying for a few days, and I wake up their first morning here at 7am to hear Mimi and Ike having a grand ol' time in the guest room, laughing and carrying on. "Great!" I whisper and roll over to get maybe an hour more sleep. 
Then... I start listening to their game. And it was going something like this:
Mimi: "Daddy? Can I have some cereal?"
Ike: No!
Mimi: (fake crying) Whaaaaaah!
Ike: (giggling with glee) Do it again!
Mimi: Daddy? Can I have a cookie?
Ike: No!
Mimi: Whaaaaaahhh!
Ike: Do it again Mimi!
What in the heck? I stumble into the room putting on a bathrobe. 
What are you guys doing?
Ike with a big smile on his face says, "I'm playing Bad Daddy with Mimi!"
Mimi looks a little embarrassed.
I rub my head and not knowing what to say mumble, "Well... keep it down will ya?" and exit.
As I'm walking down the hall I hear giggling and 
Daddy, can we play Bad Daddy?
No!
Whaaaaaaa!
Hahahahahhahahaha! Do it again Mimi! Do it again!
