Bird poop

I get in trouble. A lot. And when I do, I like to come up with a clever response that might create a laugh that would lighten the mood and my punishment. Like the other day. I went outside to help dad in the yard and I wanted to look tough, so I leaned over and spit. Dad quickly told me that ladies don't spit. Being quick on my feet I responded by saying, "I had bird poop in my mouth."
Now that is a good excuse! I've tried to use it since then but it was only effective the first time.

Yes I Do

Confidence is something that comes natural to me. I don't have all the baggage that you adults have so I find it pretty easy to stay care-free and feel good about myself. I never want to come across as arrogant, but false humility is for 2 year olds. That's why when my dad says something like, "You look good Landrum." I can confidently agree with a, "Yes I Do!"

You're my girl

My dad likes to tell me that I'm his girl. I'm his only girl but I'm not sure if he's saying:
1. YOU'RE my girl
2. you're MY girl
3. you're my GIRL
and I don't know how to respond to that either. Because if I say, "You're my boy." it makes me sound like we are homeboys, which would make me a boy, which would negate the purpose of his comment.
So...at a loss for how to respond, I figure it's usually just best to respond with the exact thing that he said to me. I mean, it works when I'm in trouble. So now when he says, "You're my girl." I just smile and say, "Dad, you're my girl too."
