More Xenia humor

Last night Barb, Xenia, and I went to a meeting about Xenia’s drivers education class.  All the students and their parents were there.  One of the things the teacher talked about was a police officer that talked to the class the day before.  The students wrote questions on a pieces of paper and the questions were asked in a way such that the students who asked the questions couldn’t be identified.  The teacher said the most popular theme of the questions was about drinking and driving, open containers, passengers who had been drinking, etc.–then they got distracted by the question, “Is it legal to drive naked?” 

The room burst into laughter and a lot of the kids were pointing fingers at each other and whispering to each other accusing each other of submitted that question.  But Xenia just looked straight ahead with a straight face.  Barb and I both looked at Xenia.  “Xenia, that was you.  Wasn’t it?”  She gave us her Innocent Look.  “Xenia?”  She nodded her head and the Innocent Look broke into a tiny smirk.

Sometime I’ll have to get her to write down the story of when she sang Uncle Bonsai’s song Penis Envy on the bus to State for Drama and The Scotsman about kilts and ribbons to the people in the office at the Jr. High.  This kid lives in a different world than Barb and I did when we were that age.

Xenia is my wittiest child

Of course she is sitting on my lap as I write this too.

Her cat, wanting attention came up to us meowing and then started “sharpening his claws” on my knee.  “OWWW!!!”.  Xenia started giggling.  I glared. Her mood suddenly became somber, grim even, and barked, “Bad cat!”.

This was all the more funny because it isn’t the first time she has done something like that.  Another time she was telling me about how her cat talks to her.  “Oh?  What does he say?”  “He thinks you’re stupid.”  Glare and the mouth opens to return her to her proper place of respect for her parental units.  Before the first word can get out she blurts out, “But I don’t believe him.”  She saved her ass.  Damn, she is fast.
