Backfired

I was commenting on Kim's blog the other day and I read a comment someone else left. It talked about a game called "Pertinent, Not pertinent". It was during the time when we were trying to get everything put away. I decided Nick had too much stuff, so I started throwing some of it away. Then he started digging through the garbage and rescuing his stuff.

In a vision of sure greatness, I imagined playing this game with Nick. In my vision, he was happily throwing away all his old college textbooks, clothes, and other random things he hasn't touched in years. So I tried it that very day. I would hold something up and ask him if it was pertinent or not pertinent. It worked for a few minutes, then he started going through MY stuff. Not cool.

Even now, a couple weeks later, he still gets me. I found THE cutest pair of shoes the other day, but they weren't pertinent. And when I wanted to make cookies - you guessed it, not pertinent. One day I'll get him good...
