A Quick Note

I am taking a sick day. I cannot possibly be expected to cope with both the loss of my porn and the onslaught from Saturday.

If I have recovered sufficiently later, again, I can tell you. I have to say, though, I'm really not sure children aren't some kind of alien plot. Very skittery, and inexplicable behavior to say the least...I'm not sure how many times I just stood there and said "But why would he do that?" And then I was expected to clear up the mess!

And if they're so innocent, why do they make eye contact before doing something that will get YOU in all kinds of trouble? It's like the kid was saying "Watch this!"

Plus, I can't say as I approve of his choice in films, although eating a Martha Stewart magazine was an effective critique of that level of writing (don't tell his aunt I said that). His conversational skills were lacking a bit, and his hygeine, if left up to himself - well, the less said about *that* the better.

Of course he was adorable, delightful, and intelligent - but I don't think exhausting is an unfair thing to say, either.

Of course exhausting is not an unfair word! Believe me Mike, I sympathesize with you. Babysitting is hard work. However, it is easier if you have a twin sister with the mentalioty of a 5 year old. Yara gets me out of a lot of sticky situations.

They are cute, though, aren't they?

You know, I have to wonder....did you tell CPT Deakins what the REAL reason was for you staying home? He's married, I'm sure he can empathize.
Did it occur to you that Alex might spill? :-)

Welcome to the wonderful world of children. You only had a taste. Does it make you want to think about having some of your own or go to the drugstore and buy cases of condoms?? :)

I sympathise on the porm issue, but as for the kid... Look at it this way. You might have to get used to regular kiddie contact, but at least it's just visiting, and he has a mother and father to go home to.
My greatest shame is that I sometimes wish that were the case with my two nephews.

Fact: Children are imps, sent from Hell, incognito, to torment you for ever wanting to fuck!!

Fact: I'm a bully. Kids loovvee me! Or I'll kill them.

Fact: Missing porn = Blasphemy!!

I got your back here, Mikey.For once, I won't threaten you with sex, okay? I think you are hurt enough today.
Then again...

In retrospect, taking a sick day was a good move. After all, you didn't want them to pop a piss test on you...
