Pipe Down

I should explain before you see this video that we have a family inside joke in which we constantly tell each other to pipe down. It's become a game to see how unexpected you can make a "pipe down" come for the recipient, or to use it in a creative way. For instance, Claire might say, "I would love a glass of chocolate milk right now," and I would reply, "Too bad you're getting a glass of pipe down instead."

Anyway, this is just Claire in one of her amped up moods, which she's pretty much in every time we sit down to dinner or to play a game. I don't know what to do with her. In case you can't understand it, her joke is that when her hair finally grows down to her feet, she's going to let her grandpa mow it with his lawnmower.

That girl needs a a bulldog puppy. Daniel, buy her a bulldog puppy. We'll tell you everything you need to know and she can have a lifelong friend and goofmate.

Claire wants a dog badly and I've started to warm to the idea this year after meeting several dogs of friends that I liked a lot. Unfortunately we're away from home so much I don't think it would be good for the dog.

Kirsten handled the "pipe down" with grace. Claire is about as adorable as they make em.

If by "grace" you mean a stern look and saying I'm not going to play Uno with that goofball... :)

I think you have a happy "almost seven" year old Daniel. She got in a good plug for her birthday. Good thinking!
