Who’s in his 30’s? Surely not me
Posted on February 19, 2009 - Filed Under And your point is?, Adult swim, Parenting
It is undoubtedly a duty of parenthood to teach children some of the things they can do to be mischievous. Such was my goal when we went to TGI Friday’s this past weekend. (We normally don’t eat there but I got an email from a co-worker entitling the holder to a buy-one get-one-free entree deal. Here’s a link to the coupon. It’s good until March 1st, so print it out and get yourself some free vittles.) We were kind of just sitting there waiting for our food, hoping Maggie would continue to be patient. In an effort to keep her entertained, I got it in my head to peel off a little bit of the straw paper and blow on the end, thus propelling the remaining paper toward her like a spear. She absolutely loved this!! So, I reloaded by carefully inserting the straw back into the hollow paper. I thought it would be funny to blow the paper straight up and let it fall. I took aim, inhaled deeply, and proceeded to blow hard through the straw. I thought my plan was solid; turns out gravity was not my friend. The paper floated down into the booth behind me, which was occupied by a nice young couple. I looked over at Erin, only to not see her imediately because she had taken cover under the table. I got up and told the couple I was very sorry. When I came back, Erin’s face was frostbite-red. Needless to say, mortified was the word of the day.

Thank you for checking back frequently. We have just been so busy and out of the routine of writing. We keep saying we need to put some stuff up, but just seem to not make time. I have a couple of ideas for posts, so keep your eyes open. You might to look into setting up a RSS feed; that way, you don’t need to check back all the time.
