Simply funny

I don't remember which day it was and thankfully it's not important. I believe it was last Saturday or Sunday, but again, not important. Anyway, Peach was being, well, just that, a real Peach, and wouldn't listen to a word I said. I wanted her to stop doing whatever it was that she was doing. I started simple, "Claire". Nothing. "CLAire" a little louder. Still nothing. "CLAIRE!" Still nothing at this point. My blood pressure was rising and I raised my voice to say "CLAIRE LEANNE!" There we go! Not only did she stop what she was doing, but so did Natey. Who doesn't love a two for one, right? Don't get too excited - they both looked at me as I'd lost my mind. Natey said "Why did you just call her that?" in his best 'I'm really a teenager trapped in an almost 5 year old boy body' tone. I explained that when I use their middle name that it means I'm serious. I also realized at that moment that I don't actually do what I'd just said. When I want to get Nathan's attention I say "Nathan Meyer" not "Nathan Lee". No wonder he was confused.

Tuesday afternoon Natey and I were watching TV, at least he was. I was sitting on the couch holding Jack. I don't remember what happened, but Nathan looked at me and said "Can you BELIEVE that, Kerrie Anne?" I was stunned. I said "Uh, no, I guess I can't." (pause) "Did you just call me Kerrie Anne?" He smiled - like this.....
and nodded as to say yes. I said "Did you call me that because you were serious?" He covered his mouth and giggled - and nodded again.
