Experiences and apprehension from the life of a new father.
When I got to the bedroom, Giovanna and Fannie had not gone to bed yet. Fannie was in the bathroom getting some tissue and Giovanna was peering around the corner with a bright-eyed smile on her face.
It didn't look like she might be going to bed anytime soon, but Fannie was just picking her up to work the magic of the rocking chair. As they passed Giovanna offered to kiss me goodnight again.
I decided I would get even, so after the kiss I rubbed the top of her head. The instant I took my hand away, Giovanna popped me on the cheek with her open palm and gave a laugh.
Women seem to be really serious when they warn about not messing with their hair!

Tonight we dropped Giovanna off at our friends house so we could go see "The Color Purple" musical. We were running a little late on our way there when the guy in front of me was driving slowly.
I hit the horn to get him to move through the intersection before the light changed. Immediately after, a voice rang out from the back of the car, "Go! Go!"
Apparently, Fannie has been late to some of their day classes.

As it turned out, we were so late that there wasn't time to go to the nice restaurant I hoped for. Instead, we got caught in traffic that ate most of the time available before the show.
Fannie said, "if we come across a Subway, that will do." I hoped we wouldn't see one, but the very next block had a big yellow sign and an empty parking lot. To add insult to injury, I had one dollar in my wallet, so Fannie had to pay for the meal and the parking at the theater.
When we got back to our friends house after the show, I bet Fannie that Giovanna outlasted them. Sure enough, their children had gone to bed by 9:00 but Giovanna stuck to her normal schedule of staying up until after 10:30. They said that around 10:00 she was bored with no kids so she got her backpack on, went to the front door and waved while saying, "bye, bye".
Once she realized they wouldn't let her leave, she started crying for mama and papa. They had to put on "Sesame Street" and convince her to watch it, but our friends fell asleep on the couch while Giovanna kept watching.
She was fighting sleep in the car, the whole way home and passed out as soon as we put her in the crib.
