Talking with Carter and IM’ing with Dad

Carter busts Dad over his Tivo choices

Carter was home sick this week, for three days. He chose his PBS and Noggin shows for Tivo on day one, including Barney. Evening of day one, Kevin deleted Barney, despite my protest. The next day, this conversation took place and was IM’d to Kevin:

Carter: Put on Barney. Put on Barney.

Me: I think Daddy deleted it.

Carter: No he didn’t, we *just* taped it. Why would he do that? He shouldn’t do that! It took *WEEKS* to get that. Tell- no, email daddy not to delete the Barney.!

Daddy’s IM response:
kmakice (1:57:15 PM): ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH

kmakice (1:57:45 PM): Tell him he can watch that crap when he gets his own house.
ACMakice (1:58:02 PM): Carter says, tell Daddy not to delete Boohbah either.
kmakice (1:58:06 PM): I didn’t
ACMakice (1:58:16 PM): I think he’s just covering his bases now.
ACMakice (1:58:49 PM): Carter says, “I’d like to go to a movie theater to see Boohbah, it’s so funny. Can we go to a movie theater to watch it?”
kmakice (1:58:57 PM): Ask him if he wants a tattoo instead
