We took the boys to see Toy Story 3 tonight (mini review: lots of fun! Shrek people take notice: this is how you make a really good sequel), and on the way to the theatre, for no particular reason, Gail and I decided to keep our destination secret. Nicky kept asking where we were going and when we wouldn’t tell him, he finally asked “are we going somewhere fun?” In my best “I-can’t-believe-you-asked-that” voice, I said “Fun? Of course it’s somewhere fun! We always go to fun places! When have we ever taken you anywhere that wasn’t fun?” With almost no hesitation, he said “The hospital?”

I had to give him that one. Nicky 1, Daddy 0.
