Macy recently began playing basketball. In preparation for her first practice, we discussed the importance of following through with commitments, having a positive attitude and being part of a team. Most of the conversation was between she & Casey but I was there chiming in my two cents from time to time … surprise, right? Casey then asked her if she would mind our attendance at her practice or if she preferred we not watch. She rolled her eyes, let out a huffing sigh and said, “Well if you guys come, all you’re gonna’ do is make fun of me!” Casey & I both laughed and I said, “Make fun of you?? We don’t make fun of you!” Macy responded with a smile, “Yes you do! You tease me all the time.” Again, we laughed and I chimed in with, “Let me tell you somethin’ right now baby girl … we only make fun of you because we love you. If you’re in this family & we don’t make fun of you then we don’t like you. That’s just how we roll!”
Fast forward to today when Casey had a procedure for his eyes. Now I’m sure you can imagine nearly any “procedure” you’d have for your eyes would leave you wearing those hideous Stevie Wonder type glasses and Dr. Walker was no exception. Aside from his lovely glasses, I’ve been taunting him by covering one eye and scurraging like a pirate. Arrrrgh!
After the procedure, he & Macy were dining at a local pizza joint. As Macy was coloring in a picture of a figurine with glasses, she colored the ENTIRE area of the glasses with the darkest crayon the restaurant offered and then announced to Casey “There, that’s you!” followed by boisterous laughter.
Shortly after, they so kindly brought pizza and a drink to my office. Macy could hardly wait to tell me what she’d done. She relayed the above story & quickly said, “If we don’t make fun of ya’, we don’t love ya’, right?” and then she died laughing.
