Ching mentioned having more kids last night..again. Obviously my "hitting him where it hurts" (in the Wang family budget spreadsheet) meant nothing. It came up because Rachel smiled at him and he was overtaken with cuteness. After smiling at him, she looked at me and dropped all emotion..deadpan..stoic. I grabbed a glass of wine.
But I am on to him. He is trying to wear me down on the child subject and at the very last second, he is going to switch gears and think a dog is a better idea. Jig is up Ching Wang.
Ching has always made it clear that he wanted a dog. He loves dogs. While I was heading into my last trimester with Laurel, he brought up the fact that maybe we could welcome our child with a dog. "I mean how busy are you really going to be during maternity leave?" I just looked at him when he said that..he became quiet. I have this amazing ability to yell with my eyes.
He has also gotten Laurel on this dog kick too and it's just a matter of time when Rachel is lobbying for one too. (She needs to grow a little bit..even the smallest of lap dogs scare the bejesus out of her..being kind of low to the ground.)
I am going to say it..I am not really a dog person. There is a tiny part of me that freezes when I go over to someone's house and I see a dog, especially a big one. They must sense this and just toy with me as they say hello and humiliate me by sniffing my crotch. But even if we got a small or mid-sized dog--the shedding, doggy breath, that gross food and the poo...holy crap, the poo. (Pun definitely intended.) I have all ready addressed the Wang morning and evening routines and my running around like a bat out of hell. I really don't want to have to walk a dog (and pick up the poo) during this time.
You know..I might start toying with Ching myself. Perhaps just leave a box of ovulation sticks in view...nothing shuts a guy up more than waiting for an outcome of a stick that has been peed on by a woman regardless if it is for ovulation or pregnancy. Two can play this game..make note, the score will be JCW 1, CCW 0.
