Molly got up at 5:30 this morning, and has been obsessed with the early 1970's Batman cartoon ("The New Adventures of Batman and Robin", the one with Bat-Mite). Every so often she starts in n me, asking "Daddy! Daddy! You be Robin! Pleeeeeeease?"

And I try. I say stuff like "Holy Hole-In-A-Donut, Batman!" and try to help her flip around like Batman (or Batgirl), but she just get's frustrated with me.

"No, Daddy... not like THAAAAT! You. Be. ROBIN! Pleeeeeeeeease? Pleeeeeeeease you be Robin?"

I... I don't know how to BE mre Robin than that! Does she need me to get a mask? A costume? A barely heterosexual relationship with an older father figure who has abandonment issues???

You are about to fight me.

To the DEATH.

There are only two weapons, and you get first choice... whichever one you DON'T use, I am going to use to kill you.

Which do you choose: Double-Bladed Lumberjack Axe, or Fully Fueled (Gas Powered) Running Lumberjack Chainsaw?

So about 2 weeks ago Crystal started calling daily to make sure that we get our new Dell Netbook Every day, something new... she had all the promises and the names of those who had made them. New, better Netbook at the same "Black Friday" price, and with a note in to the warehouse to "expedite" the order. Despite the expedition of the order, it still would not be shipped till after we got back from Disney Land :(

Every day she would ask them if there was any way to get the order here faster, every day they would say "The warehouse has been informed to ship the netbook via overnight shipping as soon as it leaves production".

Then, one day last week Crystal had a stroke of Genius. She asked "Well can they expedite the *production* as well in order to get it here faster"? Oh OF COURSE we can do that let me just send a note to my supervisor and...

all i could think of was The Wizard of Oz and the doorman, saying "Well THAT'S a horse of a different COLOR! C'mon in!"

And so now the Netbook is ready to ship, and for the past three days it has been "Your order will ship either today or tomorrow". I just wonder how long they'll try that "Today or tomorrow" story on us?
