The Katie Chronicles: Break Like the Wind Edition

You know how ongoing family jokes get started in odd, offhand ways? I think that happened tonight. In an effort to pry our kids away from screens, we've been playing a lot of games with them in the evenings. A family favorite is Uno. In one of tonight's hands, poor Katie kept having "draw" cards played against her, so she ended up drawing about 10 cards in a row, without getting to play any. When Jerome played the last "draw 4" card against her, she simultaneously let out a toot and expressed her mock outrage. "Daddy!" she said. "Don't make me fart in anger!" The table erupted in giggles and a joke was born. 

So, if you come to our house, be warned. If you don't play nice, Katie may tell you off in a memorable way. Let's hope she doesn't go into politics...although it would make those debates more interesting.
