Ella: Dad you better not go play basketball at the church tonight!
Phil: Okay Ella I won’t (wink, wink). Go to bed!
{Ella is tucked in bed and lights are turned out}
{Phil leaves to go play basketball}
Ella: DAAAAAD! (screaming from her room)
{Mindy stomping up the stairs to yell at Ella}
Mindy: What do you want Ella!
{Ella is hiding under her covers}
Ella: I want dad.
Mindy: He’s in the bathroom (hoping Ella doesn’t realize he’s left to go play basketball).
{Ella pops out from under her covers with marker all over her face}
Ella: But I wanted to scare daddy.
Mindy: What have you done? You just had a bath! What is all over your face?
Ella: It’s marker and I wanted to scare daddy with it.
Mindy: That is not funny!
Ella: Then why are you laughing?
