   I stand at the sink washing dishes while Aria runs around the kitchen singing to the top of her lungs. I Cant help but smile but I'm sure Connor doesn't appreciate it while he's trying to film. "Sweet heart, daddy is trying to film videos, be a little more quiet, k?", I say to her. She sighs dramatically but nods her head.

     A few minutes later after the dishes are all washed, I wipe down the counter and then clean the rest of the kitchen, then go and clean up the living room.

   Aria follows me out of the room and into the other one, this time only humming instead of singing. "Aria, Whats this?", I ask, holding up her teddy bear named Josiah, the one I have told her to put away many times. She tenses and freezes.

    "Oh, that's.. Um... Josiah", she says. I choose to be the good daddy and I just hand it to her. She smiles a relieved smile and takes it from me, then runs to put it in her room.
  
    Connor comes into the room and smiles at me. "Who was it the one who said the next time you see Josiah in the floor, you're throwing him out?", he asks, winking at me.

    We gave Aria the teddy bear when she was a baby and we named it Josiah because well, the name teddy was to original and we don't do normal.

   
   "Who was the one who said that she was 4 and should live the life of no discipline?", I reply.

   "My sister", he replies. We both laugh and he sits down on the couch and starts watching tv. "Oh Babe, I think you missed a spot there on the floor".

   I glare at him but pick up the pillow on the floor and throw it at him. "I will mess you up!", I yell. He throws his head back and laughs at my threat. Aria comes down the stairs and I turn to face her.

    "Oh daaaad. Making threats again. Shaaame!", she says as she goes over to Connor and jumps in his lap. He wraps his arms around her and They both look at me.

    "I say we do something fun", Connor says. I finish putting all the pillows back where They belong and picking up toys and stuff like that. "We should do a family tag video for my YouTube channel".

   "No", is all I say, before walking into the kitchen to get Sebastian Some food. Not suprisingly, Connor follows me. He holds Aria in his arms, knowing that I don't like fighting with him when she's around or can hear us.

    "One video, no more than 5 minutes long. You use to do videos with me, come on", he whines. I get the cat food out of the cabinet and open it before putting it into the cat bowl.

    Sebastian comes slumping in like the old bitch he is and starts eating. Aria watches him and giggles. I throw the can into the trash and turn back to the two.

   "I did 2 videos, and that was before we had to kids. We didn't have the responsibility of a house and children and keeping up with what Disney princess is Aria's favorite this week".

     Connor just shakes his head and puts Aria down and walks out. This may be the first times he's actually been pissed at me like this.
