Act a Fool
Hey, you guys! Alright, this is going to be my last talk about my kid, I promise. You will never believe what I had to do this week. I sold myself to the devil this week, and had to do something that I said I would never do! This week I had to go to story time at the Library. Which, in itself, does not sound that bad to take in a little story, maybe a nap, then a juice box, and the kid would have some fun too. But, when I arrived I found out just how wrong I could be. It was not just story hour it was developmental hour, which means you have to read, plus sing and dance with your kid. Now, just for those of you who don’t know me, none of this is my style, but to add to it I was the only father that showed up to this class. So immediately, everyone else thought I was either gay or my wife had left me. I tried to push the gay thought because it seemed more respectable, but I think everyone caught on to it by the end of class.
Then, as the class started the teacher kept staring straight into my soul while we had to read, which makes a Dr. Seuss book even harder to read. But then things got really weird when we had to start to sing. Now, you know that mouth moving you do at church when you have to sing but you really don’t want to. I tried that, which I thought was going well. Till after the first song and the teacher made us redo it because “Some of us did not get into it”. Damn right lady! We all know the wheels on the bus go round and round, lets move on. So, we had to start all over and I had to look enthused! Lucky before we went to class I was watching the Flight of the Conchords, so I immediately started to softly sing Hiphopopotamus vs rhymenocerous to Z. Which made both of us happy and got the teacher off my back. But I was on a slippery slope now, and as the next song started I looked around the class and noticed that there was an abundance of wiener in the class. So I immediately lead into “To Many Dicks On the Dance Floor”. Now at this point I may have gotten a bit loud because the mother next to me stopped singing and looked around, laughed then moved across the class room. That’s right take your son and make a little more space, lady! Z is here to Party.
I knew I was way too into it at the end of the class when I thought the song the class was singing timed up to me singing “Its business Time”. I swear they all were singing the “Wow wow ya” part for us! Alright I am probably way off in that but it felt right. Looks like we might have another great comic idea. So,while I work on the idea why don’t you guys enjoy this weeks comic. Till next week…
Laters,
