I have a new found appreciation for all you parents

I don't know how you do it. I don't know how I'd survive a kid of my own. I'm wore out from baby sitting today. Took this kid shopping, eating, whatever and he just wouldn't stop asking random questions. I really had no idea it was like this for parents. I had to give myself a "Woo Saa" moment. Lol. The questions started off innocent enough and then just spiraled out of control almost every 7-10 secs. I was silently going crazy and at one point saying to myself: " I'm gonna have a good talk with his parents after this."

Here's just a sample.

  • Do you have sleeping gas
  • Do you have a sleeping gas bed
  • Why do dolphins prefer water
  • Does it rain in Mexico
  • Can I die in Mexico
  • How can something be sweet and sour at the same time
  • Does God create clouds and not cities
  • Do you like Camaro's (at least 3 times)
  • If my dog dies will I die also
  • Can you make it rain on your side of the car
  • I could go on and on.
I simply tip my hat to you parents. Seems like a very tough job.

I was hoping he asked how does a thermos keep cold stuff cold & hot stuff hot? Cause I'd like to know that one myself.

But what I still haven't figured out to date is..... how does it know which feature you want? Keeping it hot or keeping it cold.

Most children should be deep fried. Example, while I was leaving Target three teenagers and an adult passed in front of me. The girl, who was 15-17, kept telling another teen "I am going to hit you in the nuts. I am going to punch you in the nuts." Only after the adult saw me did he tell her to shut up.

Yeah Zanzibar, I understand where you're coming from if you're not used to those little tikes. It's kinda funny at first but then it can wear you the hell out. Lil dude sounds hilarious. Better you than me!

They have absolutely no fucking respect for authority. Blame the parents... oh well. In the words of Tony Soprano "What are u gonna do?" :-)

It's like the Lewis Black bit about hearing the girl say "If it weren't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college".

Yeah it was a culture shock to be honest but he's a good kid and to be honest I better get used to it. I decided in part to invest in the kids future based on his parents physical gifts and talents as athletes. I've hired a coach to work with him and prep him for AAU competitions around the country. The coach is very impressed with his work ethic and physical gifts at his age and he gave me honest assessments after 2 straights weeks of intense drills. Lol Maybe one day I'll be sitting in a Pro sports draft day selection crowd.
