She's playing us both

Yep, that's what kids do, but come on she knows she'll get caught...
Last night after Karate I got home and Kelly was messing around in the yard and Kerry was cooking supper. I ask her how her day was at school and she asks me if Grandma can pick her up at school on Friday. I asked why and she said that it was only a half day as long as she can get a note from a parent saying she could leave early and someone would pick her up.
OK, I am suspicious... ME: what about 4th, 5th and 6th period?
Kerry: we won't be counted absent..
ME:OK, school is out next week, meaning finals are next week... Don't you need to know what is on the finals?
Kerry:Nope, they are telling us on Thursday....
ME:I think you need to discuss that with your Dad.

Then I make a comment that she hasn't filled out her application to McD's.
Kerry: They don't hire 15 year olds..
Me: How do you know that they don't hire 15 year olds?
Kerry: Someone at school told me.
Me: Really? Are they in MGT?
Kerry: I don't know but they work there...
ME: OK, why don't you go ahead and fill out the application and let Dad take you there and let someone in MGT tell you that they don't hire 15 year olds.
Kerry: OK, will you help me?
ME: Sure, if you need it...
So, honey comes in and I tell him that Kerry doesn't want to fill out her application and he gets mad and tells her that He said to fill out the application and let MGT tell her that they don't hire 15 year olds... WHAT??? Is he kidding?? He told her exactly what I said only he said it first? ARE you kidding me??? I let that slide then I say something to him about the school thing and then he proceeds to tell me that he told Kerry that he has to have something from the school, I advise that maybe he calls the school to get more info and honey agrees.
Wow, he is taking more charge... Thanks Kelly,
So, does that sound like she is playing us to anyone but me? Funny how Kelly and I are on the same page!!! It has taken 5 years but FINALLY on the same page. Yea!!! Blackwell's..... Yea, Kelly and Angie!!!
I don't Kelly actually caught on that Kerry was trying to play us, but he set her straight...

Back to supper, Kerry was cooking Barts for us and didn't cook them thoroughly, I bit into mine and Kelly said Don't take another bite.. It's still pink in the middle, so we nuked them for about 6 mins till they were nice and done... We then made homemade strawberry cheesecake ice cream for dessert... Can we say a BIG YUM-O!!! OMG, that was the best ice cream EVER!!!

Kelly then decided he wanted to go coon hunting since it is suppose to rain tonight, Kerry wanted to go soo bad, but since it was a school night she couldn't go. She made a friend of hers a picture with a butterfly and her name on it. I wished I had taken a picture of it, BEAUTIFUL!! Maybe, she didn't take it to school today and I can take a picture of it tonight. Kelly didn't get home till 12:30, NO, I did not wait up for him... I need my sleep.... I love to sleep.... I gots to sleep....
He left one of the dogs out.. Lil' Bit, I guess she is still hunting.. She is not my favorite, but I hope she is OK... Maybe she'll go to Marks and hang out with his dogs till we get home this afternoon and go look for her.
