Convos with Daughters.....B-Day Style.......And a Prank on Them....HAHAHA

The girls turn 6 on Thursday! It's hard to imagine. They're getting big.

And they's old enough for a good old fashioned jjok-style prank.......and shockingly, the wifey participated in the prank.

First off, here's a pic of them when they did a Breast Cancer walk with the wife.......


Getting BIG!


Anyway, the girls have been wanting Nintendo DS's for their birthday. We've been downplaying the purchase, telling them that they are too expensive....yadda yadda.

I started a convo with them on Wednesday night about their birthday and what they were getting.

Here I am at the dinner table talking to S, A, and E.


jjok: So what are you girls wanting for your birthday?
SAE: NINTENDO DS!
jjok: Girls, that's kind of expensive. Maybe we should wait for Santa to....
S: No! Mommy said she was thinking of getting us Nintendo DS!
E: Yeah! And the pink ones!
A: I want a game with princesses in it!
jjok: Well, girls, money is tight around the world right now. It's probably best if we waited to get them........
SAE: NO!!!
S: But mommy said!
A: Yeah, she did!
E: And it has to be the pink ones!
jjok: Well, girls. I think we should focus this birthday on things you need. Your underwear and socks are getting pretty worn, and you're needing new ones. Plus, you're running low on toiletries.
SAE: NO!

--------------

And some faint tears came to their faces.

Then while I was giving them their bath. Yes, they still bathe together.

jjok: OK, girls, I gotta do your hair. Hey, it looks like we're running low on shampoo. Thank God your birthday is tomorrow.
SAE: NO!!!!
E: Mommy said you were full of beans! (that's their way of saying you are lying/joking)
A: Yeah! We don't want shampoo!
S: Or conditioner too!
jjok: OOO, good call S. Yep, we're running short on conditioner too.
SAE: NO!!!!!

---------

this exchange was followed with a nervous laugh. The seeds of doubts of Nintendo DS bliss is finally getting to them it seems. Can I pull up the trifecta.

Time to brush teeth.


jjok: Man, your toothbrushes are starting to fray. Thank God it's your birthday tomorrow.
SAE: NO!
S: Why do you keep saying that! Stop saying that!
E: Yeah, I don't like you saying that! Stop it! You're full of beans!
A: I don't want a new toothbrush for my birthday! I just don't!
jjok: Oh, lookee there. The toothpaste is running low too. Thank God tomorrow is your birthday.
SAE: NO!
S: Stop it Daddy! Stop it! We don't want toilet stuff for our birthday! Why do you keep saying that!
A: My toothbrush is fine, Daddy! Look at it, it's fine! I can still use it! I don't want a new one!
E: YOU'RE.....FULL.....OF......BEANS!

And with that, E stomps outta the bathroom with a solid pout going on.

----------------------------------

So I'm trying to get them to bed. They're almost in tears. I tell them that I was joking. That mommy got them some gifts and I don't know what they are. That they will be at their places on the dinner table when they get up in the morning.


And here's where the prank comes into play.

Say hello to our kitchen table for July 2nd, 2009......in all it's glory.

That's right, bitches. A 3 pack of underwear, a pair of socks, and a toothbrush. Follow that up with a bottle of shampoo, a bottle of conditioner, and a tube of Dr. Seuss toothpaste.

Should be a fun morning.

And for those of you that want to call me out on this. Let me let you in on something.

They are getting the Nintendo DS's with a total of 3 games which they will share. Final price tag for 3 DS's and 3 games? Just around 600$. And they're getting some "High School Musical" bullshit to go with it too.

So don't feel so bad about it, mkay?

I think I'll give it about 30 seconds to 1 minute before giving them the real stuff.


hahahaha.




Man I can't wait for the morning.
