The consequences have come to pass.

Remember when I wondered if I was telling my daughter the right thing about where babies come from? Well, today my wife and kid had this conversation:

Kid: Look, I have a baby in my belly!
Wife: Oh yeah?
Yeah.
How'd that happen, who put it there?
The cross.
Who?!
The cross!
What cross?
You know, Jesus Mary!

In Lithuanian when something unexpected happens people sometimes exclaim Jesus Mary (as in English people used to exclain Jesus Mary and Joseph). So I guess that's what she considers to be God's name.

Fools

I didn't fool too many people, but I had some fun.

Work:
One colleague left the office and when she came back I told her that someone had called for her. I gave her my special wife's phone number and told her it was Violeta (my wife's office mate). I fooled my colleague into calling, but my wife wasn't fooled into passing the call on to Violeta by default because she was out sick. Default sucks.

I told another colleague the boss was looking for her, and so she went and foolishly interrupted the boss to ask what she wanted.

Home:
Did one of you tell my daughter it was April Fool's Day? Because on the way home from kindergarten she cried out "Where's my hat?!" When my special wife turned around to check the hat status, the perfectly well-hatted child started laughing at her!

When I came home and put my keys in the door I heard the kid run to the door and start shouting Tete Tete Tete. I didn't unlock the door and stood there silently until she didn't think I was there anymore. Then I unlocked the door and pounced inside in a flurry and yelled.

My special wife, whom I love very much and I still find sexually attrative, asked me for some lemonade. So I brought her some with a bit of vinigar mixed it. She got very mad. It totally wasn't bad though, I finished off the remaining 400 ml of it myself. Daughter even said it was tasty.
