Daughter

"I don't like reading." she frowned.

"You have to read so you can be smart so you can make your own money. Mommy likes reading."

"She never reads." she snorted.

"She reads to me and Sophia all the time." Ajay said.

"See? And she has money." he chuckled.

"Well, I still need a boyfriend." Maddie nodded.

"For what?"

"For everything, Daddy. Duhhhh." she giggled.

"Boys are dumb." he frowned. "No good."

"You're not dumb."

"I'm one of the few that aren't." he chuckled. "Don't worry about getting a boyfriend for a very, very long time."

"But Ally has a bunch."

"They're not really her boyfriends." he chuckled. "They like her, but Ally doesn't like them. She just takes their snacks." he snorted.

"That's not very nice."

"It's not, but they keep giving them to her." he chuckled.

"I'm gonna make sure I like my boyfriend." she nodded.

"...this is boring, I'm going upstairs with Mommy and Sophia." Ajay said.

"And do what?" he chuckled at Ajay.

"I don't know. Not be bored?" he grinned.

"Are you saying that I'm boring?" he chuckled.

"The conversation is boring." he chuckled.

"Conversation? I see you're learning new words." he chuckled.

"Mhm! I learned that word in school." he grinned.

"What else have you guys learned at school?"

"Hmmmm, I finally learned how to color in the lines." Ajay said. "That was so hard."

"I learned how to make a bunch of sentences and stuff." Maddie said.

"You guys are so smart."

"We're gonna be super smart!" Maddie said.
