The typical drive to school for Chelsea and I consists of listening to Armstrong and Getty on KSTE in Sacramento. We listen to the boys because Chelsea does not like to talk. In fact, she barely grunts. Have I mentioned that she's about to turn 16? Hopefully this partially explains the following exchange. As I said we're listening to Armstrong and Getty. Joe Getty is relating a story about helping his teenage daughter with her math homework. He readily admits that he's ill equiped to actually help her with the math, but he is able to help her locate a resource that helps her with her math. The incident that leads me to my question went something like this:
Joe Getty: I may not have the smarts to actually help her with her math, but the wisdom that I've acquired through the years enabled me to help her find the resources she needed.
Jack Armstrong: That's so nice.
Joe: It really is. Since she's become a teenager there are fewer times that we are able to really connect with each other.
Chelsea (muttering under her breath): Thank God!
So you can see that I seem to have the same kind of relationship with my teenage daughter, that Joe Getty has with his teenage daughter. Isn't that lovely??!!!

You gave her the wrong middle name...she's got the right one now and don't you forget it! I still love her anyway!
