Chad & Cathy

Dagny's been sick. I've been sick and Valerie is now fighting the illness. (The reason behind the lack of blog postings).

We're all sick and tired and hoping to be better by this weekend - just in time to celebrate Valerie & Dagny's birthdays!

We're really sick and tired of being sick. So, I broke down and let the kids watch a movie this afternoon. The request was for a partially animated film entitled Space Jam. As the movie introduced the characters, I thought I'd join in the fun by repeating the names of the Looney Tunes stars.

Me: Ooooo, there's Taz!
Valerie: No, that's CHAD, mommy.
Me: Oh, there's Daffy Duck!
Valerie: (with frustration in her voice) No, that's CATHIE DUCK, mom! You don't know ANY of this Looney Tunes stuff!
Pause
Valerie: Hey, there's Bugs Bunny!
Me: Yep, that is definitely Bugs Bunny.

Glad to know we can agree on one character.

If only she grew up with The Floppy Show like myself and many other Iowa Gen-Xers, she would be sure to know how much of an expert her mother really is on the subject on Looney Tunes.
