tonight i went with my friends to pick up their six-year-old son from the babysitter's house at the end of the evening. their kid is really adorable and i had been looking forward to seeing him, because he'd been visiting far-off relatives for part of the summer and i hadn't seen him in a while.
he hops in his booster seat in the back. he hasn't seen me yet and is busy telling his mom about his new toy. after he gets situated, i lean over from the front seat.
me: hey b! how are ya?
b: CADIZ! are you gonna sleep over?
(i had stayed in his room while he was away, and said i might steal his bed, it was so comfy. i guess he was salty for having missed the sleepover party.)
me: sorry, pal, i can't tonight. besides, where would i sleep now that you're home?
b: don't worry, you can sleep in my bed. i'll sleep on the floor.
me: oh, b, that's so sweet, but i could never do that! i'd stay on the couch.
b's mom: well, b, cadiz can't stay tonight anyway because she has to go to work tomorrow.
me: i know, i'm sorry, b.
b: awww, MAN!
me: (to myself) f-ing work.
OHMYGOD if i'm getting spammed again, i'm going to have to go ballistic on somebody's ass.
ReplyDeleteno offense, but the last two comments are just a little too generic and the photos/names are too suggestive and they were in succession. i'm already trying to recover from the 'old friend' fiasco from may (www.jugglethis.blogspot.com/2005/05/old-friend.html). dude, the 218 comments do not include the 200 or so i deleted ONE BY ONE.
what a nightmare. i'm hoping it's not starting again.
I don't know, cadiz. I checked out their sites, they all seem just fine to me. Seems like two wholesome gals who were just stopping by to say that your blogs are cute.
ReplyDeleteRe: the post, that's another great story.
now there is a nice normal six year old. a certain one i know has done away with booster seats on his first birthday- and now at six he is about to DRIVE the car-
ReplyDeleteand he always invites nice young ladies to sleap over... if they're cute- what's up with that??
I miss my nephews. They're so far away, in America. So adorable. And cute. I'm one unbiased aunt.
ReplyDeleteYeah, got a little spam there... Well, at least their sites aren't full of useless drivel. Really high quality content they've got.
ReplyDeleteNot.
Good story, by the way. Kid's gonna be a real ladies man if he keeps at it ;)
ha your story is just like mine of brit and tiff... we can't go anywhere without me sitting in the middle of them, whether that's in the car in a spacious minivan or at the dinner table.
ReplyDeleteand they've already made their plea of me staying longer... even my aunt and uncle don't want me to leave :) "they really need your help with the piano"
oh and the little one tiff, she goes (cutest voice ever) "do you know i have a dream?" what is it? "my dream is to drive a car"
