Dad knows everything.

Yesterday Krislyn and Lisa had the following conversation.

Krislyn: Mom, who wrote jingle bells?

Lisa: I do not know. It has just been around for a long time.

Krislyn: But who wrote it?

Lisa: I do not know.

Krislyn: I will just ask dad, he's smart. I know because he told me he was.


So I get home and Lisa says, "Krislyn, ask dad your question." It took her a minute to remember it but she then said "Dad, who wrote jingle bells?" I immediately said "Santa Clause of course. About 200 years ago." See mom, dad does know everything. Does anyone else think I am setting myself up?

For the real story on jingle bells, which is actually kind of interesting click here.

Interesting--in our family it's Mom that knows everything. Where did Lisa go wrong? Good luck--you know the questions get harder the older they get. I have almost been stumped--ha ha

I figure that until they discover google they can't tell me I don't know everything.

I think that BigDaddyStock is getting a little cocky.

I just LOVE how I can't help the kids with certain parts of their homework (the math). That makes me feel sooo good! LOL! We always knew James was a "big know it all!"

It sounds like Krislyn and I need to have a little talk ... I'll straighten her out. Enjoy it while it lasts James.
