Abbie in a Nutshell

This is a short video clip I took over break when Lucy and I went to visit my buddy Abbie and her family. You may remember Abbie from our very serious Obama vs. McCain debates this past November. Very serious stuff, people.

Anywho, Abbie is a very best friend of mine, but I have to say, she is a bit insane. For one, she tells knock-knock jokes on a rather constant basis. They are usually not that funny, yet she will laugh (at herself) for a solid 5 minutes after telling one. Also, she is a bit of a baby. She has an uncanny ability to whine until she gets exactly what she wants. When I whine, people tell me to shove it up my behind. When Abbie whines, she gets 2 Coach bags and suite-level Britney Spears tickets. Not that I’m one to complain, as she does usually share the spoils of her whining (thanks for the Britney tickets, Abbs!).

While taping Lucy and Abbie’s niece painting with watercolors, we came upon a quintessential Abbie moment. She decided she wanted to paint too, only she felt the need to totally outdo the 2 and 3-year-old at the table.

You think I’m joking, but she was very proud of that “stellar apple tree.” Later, she painted a duck that she also made me film for her. In fact, her painting was even hung on the refrigerator after the paint dried.

But I love her. And she’s taking me to see Britney Spears in March. It’s called trickle down economics. So keep up the nagging and whining Abbie, and tell your in-laws I’m in desparate need of a Coach bag.
