I love playing little jokes on Travis to keep things interesting. So about 2 weeks ago I told Travis I needed to get Trey involved in an activity and that I wanted to sign him up through the Parks & Rec. Well I noticed this little kids ballet class in hte pamphlet...of course I would never sign him up for ballet...well Travis called while I was driving home from Parks & Rec to see how things went. I told him the only one open was ballet so I signed him up. Travis was silent on the phone for quite some time before he freaked out and started going on and on about how he was not ok with this, and how 3 yr olds minds are easily molded. I told him ok I will just take him once and if he likes it he gets to do it. I said look it's not like he has to wear a tootoo or anything, they let them wear spandex pants. He freaked out saying Trey was not going to be dancing around in spandex with other little girls. It was so classic. So I let that go on for about a week and then when Travis came back from being out of town I told him that we had gone to the class and that Trey loved it. He was furious. It was so great. Trey was playing in the other room and Travis went in there to ask Trey question to make sure I wasn't making the whole story up. I heard Travis say "Trey did you like your dance class." I was worried that Trey would blow my cover but Trey said "yes." Then Travis said "what color are the spandex you get to wear?" And Trey said "white." I was loving it. So Travis comes back into the room where I was, not knowing that I heard him questioning Trey and asks me what color of spandex Trey wears to ballet and of course I say white, and Travis goes at it again with the lecturing. It was so great. He would not let it die. Later that night I saw him looking up the Parks & Rec classes online and figures out that the times I told him Trey's class were not the right time and finds me out. When he realized I was joking he was so releived that he huged me for like 5 minutes. It's too easy.

Oh and I just saw that my posts say the wrong time. It's not 4:44 here, it's actually 5:44. I couldn't sleep, so I'm up, but I'm usually not up this early, trust me!
