Babysitter

I get home from work today and the wife wants to go to dinner. This is nothing new except that tonight she wants to leave the kids at home. So we call her dad to come over. He complains that he has already had three martinis and is tired. Granted it is only like 5pm on a Tuesday. I guess it is ok since he is on vacation this week.

So we go to dinner and come home only to see him and the kids huddled around the dining room table watching videos on my laptop. All these years of homeschooling and keeping the kids away from Ebone and I come home to this.



Later I ask the kids if the old man stayed on the laptop the whole time we were gone. Oh no, they say, he was on his phone the other half of the time.

I talked to a buddy the other day. He was recalling how he got arrested recently. The entire story is funny and yet normal for him. But one thing made me chuckle. As the cop was cuffing my dear good buddy, he marveled at how he would have to use TWO sets of handcuffs because chubbs had a Wide Frame. That is a very delicate way of putting it I suppose. Wide Frame. And no guys, it wasn't Lumpy.
