The Gestapo Has Resurrected
March 11, 2009Last Sunday while walking home after picking up Bella and having dinner, she suddenly asks.
“Dad, what do you call that thing that tells if people are lying?”
Not really minding what she asked (we were crossing the street), it somehow had to sink in late.
Me: “You mean a lie detector test?”
Bella: “Yes, that’s it. Can we buy one?”
Me: “Are you out of your mind? Those things probably costs around the hundreds of thousands. What would you need one for?”
Bella: “Oh nothing much. Just want to see if YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND!”
She condescendingly replied. After hearing that I was filled with amusement and recognized the fact that this is a golden opportunity to see what’s on her mind.
Me: “And why would you think I have a girlfriend?”
Bella: “I don’t know…….you’re single, alone and good looking.”
Yeah you heard that right! I’m good looking according to my daughter!! Hah!!
Me: “Well if you must know……No, I don’t have a girlfriend.” I replied with a wide grin apparently still stuck to that part of her statement that said I am good looking.
Bella: “Well, the only way I can find that out is IF WE HAD A LIE DETECTOR!”
Me: (Laughing) “Well, would you use that on your Mom too?”
Bella: “Yeah, that’s a goooood idea!”
Me: (to myself) Oooops, I’m such a stinker. Then replied: “I told you, I don’t have a girlfriend………..Yet!”
Bella: “YET?? Dad, I will be sad if you do that?”
Me: “So you want me to be sad for the rest of my life?”
Bella: “Better you than me.”
Me: “That’s a little selfish don’t you think?”
Bella: “That’s just how it’s suppose to be.”
Wow, didn’t know that Hermann Goering was alive and well.
At anyrate, we finally get into a transport and I thought that she had already dropped the subject. So after paying, she asks.
“Dad, could I borrow your cellphone. I need to check on some pics of Iñigo.”
Once I’ve handed it to her she suddenly faces me with the cellphone facing her and in a frenzy of activity.
She then laughs and says “I’m checking your messages!”
Being innocent of the charges she that have been dropped on me, I was calm and asked:
“Did you find any?”
Bella: “Nope.” she smilingly replied.
It was only a little of two minutes later that I realized with much horror, that I have not deleted some messages from a couple of years back that have been pushed down to the end of the list. I felt so much relief that she didn’t have the patience to check all 1500 messages. Otherwise, I’d never would’ve heard the end of it. LOL

Ade, Peace, Thanks. 
Joyce, I tried archiving them once, but it took so damned long. Don't know what I'm doing wrong, so I just gave up on the idea.
Leej, that won't be far behind pare, especially once she finds out that one of my close friends sells beauty products. Hehehe.
