Linus: He wants me to play.
Ruby: Barf all over the house. Get a job.
Herbie: Be like him!

Penelope and Archie are too young to answer the questions, but I think they like Woo too.

On days Woo works, he facetimes us from the train before the kids go to bed. The first time he did this, Penelope repeated, "Daddy! Choo-choo? Daddy! Choo-choo?" over and over again for the next half hour. And nobody can get Archie laughing like Woo can.

I hope you all had a good Fathers Day!
