Who's Your Daddy???

So Dina took the boys out for a treat to the local bakery the other day. After buying some cookies for them, she sat down in front of the bakery where one of the workers and another shopowner were taking a break. They also both happened to be Asian.

The day was warm, balmy, and sort of humid, and Dina mused out loud "This weather is weird!" The shopowner responded saying "It's like East Coast weather," which led to a short conversation about New Jersey, where the shopowner was born and raised (Summit) and where, of course, Dina said Joe was born and raised.

The shopowner then responded "So your husband is full Caucasian?" Puzzled, Dina said no, and then asked why the shopowner though that. "Well, your kids..." Dina, knowing Landon's hair is about 20 shades lighter than the average Asian mop of hair, said "Oh I know, his hair is so light." But the shopowner said "No! Both of them, not just the hair, even their features...you sure there's not any Caucasian in there?!" Dina responded "Not that we know of!" but I think she meant to say 'Not that Joe knows of!!' Better watch that dirty girl Dina, Joe. I'm just sayin'.

Mama Still Thinks She's Hilarious

So Joe went back to New Jersey for his 15 year reunions at Princeton. He took Lando, while Dina, Wyatt, and I kicked it back home. I guess they had a terrific time (I mean, wouldn't you? Joe dropped off Lando with the g'parents and then partied like he was an undergrad, except this time with a little more weight around the belly). Anyway, Joe brought back a slew of gifts, mostly for the kids, and mostly in the colors orange and black. But he also brought back this necklace that was intended for Dina. But Dina thinks she's funny, so guess who has a new collar?
