(Five-year-old) Isabella: Daddy, girls like boys who are older than them.
Me: Well, sometimes.
Iz: And bigger.
Me: Yes, usually. Boys are usually bigger than girls.
Iz: And tough and rough.
Me: Where are you going with this?
Iz: And sometimes they break the rules.
Me: Well, Good boys don’t break the rules. Daddy didn’t break the rules.
Iz: But… (smile) Bad boys do.

Oh honey, I could have told you this about the girl YEARS ago. She absolutely TORTURES Jude, and delights him his misery. I promise that if she ends up my daughter-in-law, I will be kind to her.
I will say, that I think Jude brings it on himself. With his whole, “I’m totally cute,” and his whole, “I’m in control,” and his whole, “I don’t need to see what you are doing…. But, hey… What are you doing?” attitude.
Sure, he’s a tough guy (but, really, he’s not…)

Hilarious! But true. The television has something to do with it.
