Sunday night football

Category: At Home

Paul's lucky he's such a big, solid guy -- and that Lucie's such a petite, little girl. Because last night, Lucie invented a new game -- Party Jump. As Paul lay on the couch, she would stand on his stomach. Then she'd jump up and land knees-first on his ribs, and yell, "Party jump!"

Paul's pained expression and gasps for air made me realize that it wasn't all fun and games for him. Yet since Lucie was laughing hysterically and having a grand old time, he put up with it.

Then I realized it was all Paul's fault, anyway. What were they watching on TV while these shenanigans were going on? The NFL. Lucie wasn't jumping on her dad, she was tackling him.

My daughter, the Denver Bronco.
