Trump card

"I want to have a family portrait taken again, like we did last year."

"Really? Why?"

"I thought it was nice. I liked sending it to our families at Christmas. I like the idea of having a new shot every year -- setting that tradition."

"Hmmmm."

"What?"

"We look the same."

"REALLY. I LOOK THE SAME. REALLY."

"Well, okay. There's that. But it was a hundred and fifty dollars. That's, like, three Wii games."

"I'll tell our children you spent money on video games instead of memories. Also, I'm blogging this and will let your mother take it from there."

Hey, Jules, Maddie and I just took the Wii fitness challenge. The Wii, which is a computer and therefore can't be wrong, says I am as fit as a 26-year-old. LOL.

Your niece is as fit as a 70-year-old. She's not happy about that at all.

You guys clearly need to learn to compromise. The success of any relationship is......hell, what would I know about that?

Fight it out.
