Dishes on a Thursday, with Cason

Today I found out that he will sleep in the snuggly, fortunately. So I can do dishes! But UNFORTUNATELY the snuggly makes this spot in my upper back/neck/shoulder area knot up until it burns so badly I can barely use my arm to scrub the dishes anyway. But Cason looks cute sleeping in there.

Later, as we walked home from my mom's house, we heard some drummer practicing in his garage, and Paige danced down the street.

Then she climbed INSIDE the stroller with Cason. I didn't want her on top of him, so I forced her to ride on the front instead. She still thought she was pretty cool.



And without further ado, I present to you, the first of many riveting weekly interviews Jess has dubbed....

...INTERROGATION STATION

featuring: Mr. William Christopher Casson

my cousin, our friend, excellent dancer

He was created by these two wonderful people, which makes him a winner:



1) Your nickname(s)?

Skifter because you, you, Brandi, were unable to properly pronounce my name in days of yore. (It was you right?)
There are others, but this is a family oriented blog.

2) Favorite animal?

Not the Liger despite its specialized breeding for its skills in magic. Not the Pipa Toad because their level of creepiness is off the charts. I admire the calm demeanor of the three-toad sloth, but I think bonobos might be my fave.

3) What does your relationship with Jess and/or Brandi mean to you?

$13.51. Kidding. It means I’ll always have a willing competitor in Mario Kart or Halo, and that’s everything.

4) What should we name our third child?

Sir Edwin Honeycutt IV. Or Willtopher. Or Chrilliam. Girl? Mistyrassienica.

5) Who is your hero? (Don’t say Stephen Hawking)

Maximus Decimus Meridius, or Leonidas, or George Michael Bluth (Arrested Development which you desperately need to watch if you wish to retain my respect and affection).

6) What are you most afraid of?

Being blown up by a spiky blue turtle shell with wings.

7) Three of your greatest achievements?

a) 1410
b) 7
c) Beating both Ninja Gaiden and its sequel on “normal” difficulty.

8) 3 things you want to do before you die?

a) Go to Europe
b) Teach Jess the proper form of a jump-shot
c) Go to a Super Bowl (with good seats)

9) What is your best feature/quality?

My 4 HDMI ports and MPEG4 compatibility.

10) What makes Roonie Doodle your favorite tv character?

I’m 63% sure I could beat him up. (Oh, and it’s Rooney).

11) Favorite memory of Jess:

Jess, much like his wife, has always had some dental issues. So after being caged in a van for 6+ hours with several insane people on a spring break trip to southern California, all Jess wanted in this world was to brush his chompers, but as he prepared to do just that where we were staying he realized he forgot his toothpaste and hurled his toothbrush across the room in frustration. Of course it landed in a filthy corner of a tiled room and accumulated all sorts of detritus, which just made the scene that much funnier.
There is also the time Scott gave Jess (on his bike) a little love tap with his Camaro in the dorm parking lot at the Butterfly dorm and Jess flew into a bloody rage. Funny.

12) Favorite memory of Brandi:

Of course it will involve injury to her. It has to. She attempted to ambush Scott. Bad idea. She stood on a bench next to the door entering the house from the garage as Scott walked in and my job was to distract Scott as he entered whilst she leaped violently (a hurricane of teeth and nails) upon his person. Instead, my noise of distraction made her laugh, and she hesitated. This left infinitely more of an opening than SEJ would ever need and when she leaped she was caught basically by the neck and thrown over his shoulder onto the ground a heap of giggling pain.





And that was Skifter Casson. Yes, it was me who could not properly pronounce your name. And as far as our "dental issues", don't most couples have like 43 cavities between the two of them in childhood?
