What before my wondering eyes should appear but a freshly made bed.
J: (in a sincere proud-of-my-daughter tone) THANK YOU Laine. That is so special. What a wonderful surprise. I love you and I really appreciate you doing that for me. (followed by loving fatherly-daughterly hug.)
L: Dad, can I have a penny now for making your bed? It is my job to make my bed but it is your job to make your bed so since I did your job I would like a penny.
J: uh...well...uh...(stunned and shocked at how skillful my daughter is at manipulation.)
L: (getting serious now) Dad, please give me a penny right now. Now Dad. Please give me a penny. Give me a penny dad. Dad, give me a penny right now.
I was cornered and scared for my own safety so I handed it over.
(this picture of Lainey on Mother's day. She INSISTED that Marie take her wonderfully-husband-cooked breakfast IN BED. ON A TRAY. It didn't matter that this was horribly awkward and very messy. To Lainey - this was the meaning of mother's day.)

even though she's intense, and might have mafia tendencies, she is one adorable girl. I do wish I could have heard her.
How are your thumbs?
You should make her bed, and ask for the penny back. Unless of course you are concerned for your safety.
That's hilarious.
I love it. This girl is going to be a great entrepreneur!
We love you guys!!!
