hmmmmm
last week our niece was over visiting w/ my wife. i had an old pc that i was putting back together after i pulled out the hard drive to secure our info off of it. my wife gently suggested that our niece could use a pc for her daughter as they don’t have one. i figured, sure, that’d be a good use for it. i put it together and sent it on its way.
so last night, my wife was on the phone w/ our other niece (sister to first niece). she said they were coming over to work on our pc because they needed ms word. after she hung up, i looked over at her and scrunched my eyebrows. ’so why exactly did i send them a pc?’ she didn’t appreciate the tone. she was right. i withdrew the question and held it for the niece.
niece2 arrived and sat with us while her friend worked on our pc.
me: so did you guys set up the pc i sent home w/ your sister?
niece2: yeah, we put it on the computer desk.
me: it has ms word on it.
niece2: it does? oh, we didn’t hook it up yet. we just put it on the desk.
me: *blink blink* hmmmmmm
niece2: so we didn’t have to drive all the way over here?
me: *smiling and shrugging*
it was a nice visit anyway. they brought their two daughters and another great-niece of ours. they kept us laughing the whole time. the girls played twister and took turns on the elliptical machine. it takes so little to entertain kids. i’m glad they came over. moments like these go by too fast. it won’t be long before we see them as often as we see our sons, not very.
take care.
