hannah montana...

there is nothing like the first phone call of the day being the ex in his best eeyore voice "hi" um...hi? nothing...silence...so i do it...i ask "how are you today?" i know i shouldn't have fallen into the trap but, well, i am nice, i can't help it. needless to say it wasn't the most uplifting and exciting conversation - well atleast not for him - i can't help but find it humorous. the point of the call...i know you are dying to know...to inform me that he isn't gonig to offer the hannah montana/miley cyrus tickets he has, for tuesday night, to her and the daughter...that's it i say - stay strong. he wants to know what to say if she asks about them, my advice: tell her 1) F*CK you 2) are you on crack 3) um NO! i explain that all three are acceptable responses. well...as i crack up he isn't making a sound...ok, not the best advice but what the hell am i supposed to say...really? well the conversation ended soon after that!
tonight was highly entertaining...my friend is over to cook dinner and make cheesecake - tanner had to stay home today because she was sick...right...she wanted to stay home to see our 'guest' that's what she said...so we are sitting at dinner and she calls her dad...she HAS to know what the big plans are for tuesday night...he tells her hannah montana - "oh" - seriously this kid has the best life ever - she has seen so many concerts that the experience is lost on her. She realizes that her dad is upset that she isn't excited..."great dad! thanks!" hell, she is trying to cheer up eeyore...give the kid a break. she walks into the living room...no one is talking...silence...until i hear....crackling - yep, tanner is making a crackling noise and then said " i think we are breaking up, I can't hear you" i have to tell you i laughed, and laughed loud...so of course she kept doing it...funny to us, not so funny to him. i am not sure what was more depressing to him, his daughter crackling to get off the phone with her dad or the fact that she used the phrase 'breaking up" when the girlfriend 'broke up' with him every day last week.
i know I should have said something to tanner...
but you can't make this sh*t up!
