Why in the hell would I name my daughter “Trudi”?

Her laugh is kind of annoying, but she’s got a real flair for make up and dresses very well for an 18 year old. I still feel too young to have an 18 year old daughter, but they’ve told me I do and she’s going along with it, so I’ve got to at least act like I buy the whole story for now.

My wife couldn’t make it today. Her mom lives on the other side of the state and isn’t in the best health, and she had to be there for some reason or another.

(Trudi’s informed me my wife’s mother and I don’t get along)

I have a tidy house with a small yard and an above ground pool. It's quite a lot of space for this part of the city, so I'd imagine we do OK.

Trudi says I love the pool, but I’m pretty sure I hate it, and the fact the water is this cloudy green doesn’t help any.

Trudi says cleaning the pool was my job.
