Wow, I didn't realize it has been nearly a month since I updated this blog. So much has happened in the last few weeks. I've been busy with finals at school, work, the jumper biz has been booming with a couple parties per week & of course my daddy duties are NEVER done! My sons 8th birthday was 2 weeks ago & we had a HUGE birthday for him. It was basically his prequel for his super 16th in 8 years from now. Man we spent but everyone had a great time....even the few kids who cried when I refereed to them sitting on the loser side after losing a few of the games we played. Yea I know, wrong choice of words with kids, but I was just playin sheesh! I don't think anyone was more upset than the bday boy himself. He punched me in the stomach & called me a cheater for not letting him win at Giant Twister. SMH, lucky it was his day other wise I would have power bombed him!(Thats a wrestling move usually done by larger wrestlers with smaller opponents ladies.
But I digress, so lets see, what can we talk about this week to get everyone up to speed. Lets see, I hit you with spoiling my kids, the father to father talk I had with one of the dads at the boys taekwondo school & the difficulty raising 2 different kids with the same basic rules. So today I will talk about the events of the day. So here we go. So lately, my sons have been super embarrassed by some...a few..ok ALL of my antics. What I do seems cool to other kids, but it makes my sadditty kids cringe! I don't mean to embarrass them. I try to be aware of that type of thing, but I guess me yelling I love you across a class room with 65% girls in it is a bit much...maybe adding that blown kiss at the end was a lil over the top? Eh well, they'll live. My mom hugged & kissed us in front of friends all the time. We just got used to it & I guess it's carrying over to my kids.
So today my son was all excited to go to school. Not sure why but he had an extra bit of swag in his step onto campus this morning. Maybe it's because he's done with his STAR testing & gets to play or maybe it's the cute girl in his class he has a crush on that I am not supposed to know about. Either way, he was pumped! He shot out of the car so fast this morning, that he didn't even take his seat belt all the way off! He even forgot to give me our daily hand shake which I look forward to since I can't get a hug good bye anymore. So he leaves me & his little brother standing there & yells PEACE! SO Isaiah & I keep it movin & go on with our day. Now I am a firm believer in Karma, & since mr. Cool Daevon aka D-Money decided to diss me & his brother this morning he had that never forgiving accident at school. He wet his pants tryin to be cool using the 6th grade urinals which goes up to his chest & he has to stand on his tippy toes to use.
Luckly no one saw this happen so he ran to the office & told them to call his dad to bring him some clothes. When I got to his school, his little face was beet red with embarrassment. SO to make him feel better, I told him about the time I too peed my pants at school. The difference was, I was about to be a sophomore in high school. WAY more embarrassing. The school nurse even said a teacher did it last week. Thank goodness she didn't share which teacher it was, but knowing most of the staff the way I do, I can pretty much guess which one it was...lets just say, I think she teachers my son Isaiah's kindergarten class...yall didn't hear that from me!
Moving on. So as we rolled home, I tried giving him a pep talk, about accidents happening & he was a big boy so he needed to be more careful so on & so forth. But he seemed like he could care less what I was saying. I decided not to tease or make light of the situation so I took him home, gave him a quick shower then took him to McDonald's for a fun lunch before I took him back to school. SO we get back to the school & I go to give him a fatherly hug feeling good like I just saved the day & he puts his hand out to give me dap then says "thanks for your help today daddy, but can I walk to class myself" I asked why? He said "so I don't embarrass him". Then he runs off to class as I stand there with a grin on my face. This kid pees himself at school, but he is still more embarrassed of me going into his class with him than having to explain his whereabouts to his classmates & teacher. Now that I know he's ok...tomorrow embarrassing daddy shall have his REVENGE!!! MUHAHAHAHA
Until next time,
D
