I'm working with a real pro here

I'm sure I'll be the only one to find this funny.

Zach went to his friend Anna's birthday party last weekend and won a prize in the game room - the old pull the dollar on a string trick.

It took us a while to practice but he finally got it. But it literally took me six or seven "takes" with him to get the "shot" down.

He had to follow a cue, know his line and be ready to nail it. Actually, he stormed off set (our kitchen table) twice because of camera difficulties. Evidently I need a better crew (me). Here's the best one...



And here are just two of the outtakes that make working with a 4-year-old so rewarding...

Double Entendre

So we went out to dinner Saturday night with another couple to a great but highly underrated Mexican restaurant (Mi Pueblo).

Talking.

Beers.

Laughing.

Ordering.

Alexis and I ordered similar meals – she got a carne adobado and I got the carne asada.

More laughing.

Eventually the food comes.

Hers looks like this:



Mine looks like this:




Similar right? Both have a strip of steak, rice, and beans with a tortilla chip sticking up.

Keith asked if they were the same dinner.

"No" I said.

“Alexis, this is the difference between yours and mine,” – and I pointed to the cheese enchilada. Alexis cracked up since I only pointed to the enchilada.

“See, it’s got this white dollop on top” and that’s how you know.
