Just in case we are ever audited
Ellie, ever the social butterfly, tends to latch on to dinner guests who bravely venture into our home, particularly female guests who she has pegged as potential Best Friends Forever (BFF). She gives them the grand tour of our house (her bedroom, her closet, the pile of laundry hidden on mommy’s bed), cuddles with them on the couch and shares deep, dark family secrets to gain their trust and embarass her parents.
Tonight during a meal with one such BFF, Ellie opened her end of the conversation with, “We have a family tradition.” Lannie and I glanced at each other nervously, wondering what she would soon reveal when she continued, “We have babies every year.”
Lannie assured her that, although it may seem to her and Every Body Else that we have babies every year, we did not in fact have a baby in 2006. And we have the tax receipts to prove it.
