Between head wounds and broken toes, I've neglected you dear blog readers. If it's an consolation I am also finally recovering from a week long bout of acute bronchitis.
I had called in sick with a fever last Monday. On Mondays my wife has to be at work for 7 AM and I have to be at work for 6 AM. Since she starts later than me she drops the boy off with the baby sitter.
She hates this. She never leaves the house early enough and always ends up being like 5 minutes late for work.
When I called in sick she looked at it like a gift from God. She tells me that the roads are really bad and she is running late so she is going to leave the boy with me.
We still have to pay the babysitter. We're not saving money by not dropping him off. I can barely walk and barely talk and just really need to sleep so it makes perfect sense to leave a two and a half year old with me right?
If she had taken him that day I would have been able to sleep most of the day and just let my antibiotics do what they were supposed to. Instead I was up at 7 am and watching Bob the Builder and picking up pieces of my lungs as I made sure the boy didn't set fire to the house. I had to miss 3 days of work when I probably could have been good to go with that one day of rest.
Marriage...it's a partnership as long as your wife is happy!!
Back to the topic at hand though. A few weeks ago I took the boy and the dog to the park for some soccer.
We loves us some soccer in the Pavao house, that and Weezer.
So the deal is the boy and I play soccer with the dog for a bit and tire him out, then the boy hits the swings and the slides.
It works for us.
Well we cut this trip a bit short. As we are playing soccer there are some girls about 10-12 years old playing in the playground area. They look like they are playing tag but with a twist. Everytime someone is tagged as "it" the tagger yells "Now you're the black girl!!"
What
the
fuck?
You are now the black girl? Once someone is the black girl they run away from her because no one wants to be the black girl?
I don't live in a white neighborhood. There are hispanic and asian kids always playing at the park. There are black kids too and these girls weren't white.
I've never heard anything like that in my life, especially from kids that young.
We just finished up our game of soccer and went home. The boy was tired so I got to play some Dead Rising (I love me some zombies) on my xbox.
