bad daddy

so there are things that you should not say. i know this, i say dumb stuff all the time. i was at the lawyer's today and as i was leaving the office i was chatting with some of the women who work there and with mr. v. i was just sharing about the upcoming trip to ny and the 5 hour flight with a 1 year old baby. we were sharing some horror stories about flights with other people's small children going berzerk. one of the gals says to me, "you can even give her something to make her relax, like ahhhh, oh, what is it called." So we are trying to figure the word that she is thinking and i just say the first thing that comes to my mind, "ahhhh a small piece of vallium?" and as soon as I said it I thought, no that's not right. then everyone emphatically alerts me that this is not what you should give a baby on a flight. i thought that cps was going to be alerted that the world's worst father was in fact, in the building. then one of them says "dramamine, that's what it is!" so i lose, they win. now i just have to leave and know that they will be thinking that i am a huge idiot for the rest of their lives, sweet.
