I Think I See My Dad

So we've been on a brief hiatus due to nothing really interesting to write about and prego having to do some work related to the WNIT (Go Buffs!). I still haven't come up with compelling blather from our final childbirth class. I'm still absorbing that one.

Ferris Bueller was on tonight before the Cubs game on WGN. That movie has a special place in the hearts of prego and Big Man for a number of reasons, one of which was some quoting that took place on our first date. Movie quotes are ever-present in our marriage and we often forget that people that don't live in our house don't have the same database of useless humor that we do...but that just makes it that much funnier to us. If Little Man doesn't start quoting Caddyshack when he emerges from my belly I might be stunned.

Anyways, when Big Man came home from work today, I was laying on the bed in Little Man's room snoozing. He came in to say hi to us, and somehow I convinced him to say a few words to his boy to try to see if anything would happen. I have believed for several weeks that LM responds to him but Big Man has previously not bought that. He's a believer now. He laid down on the bed and was talking to LM and listening to the belly for some type of response. Instead he got a swift kick in the face. LM totally booted him right in the cheek and he sat up immediately
and said some surprised and happy unmentionables. I think it's the closest he'll get to realizing what it feels like to have LM messing around in there all the time.

Shortly thereafter, I flipped on Ferris just in time to hear Cameron utter, "I think I see my dad..." and because of my movie quote fondness I found that quite funny. LM didn't see him, but he for sure heard him and felt him too.

"You should try talking to it. 'Cause, like, supposedly they can hear you even though it's all, like, ten-thousand leagues under the sea."
