Father of the Year Moment

The other day I got my 2 year old, Armbone Jr aka AJ, standing in the bathroom sink so I can wash his feet. I got my left arm around his waist, the water running, and I’m washing his feet with the right. What I didn’t realize is that the wife has one of them plug-in air-fresheners in the outlet just to the left of the sink. (It’s one of those Yankee Candle shits that you turn on and it heats up the wax in the cup at the top, and the smell good gets released) So there I am being a good dad and cleaning the fuck-ton of sand from between his toes….. By the way, how these kids get so much fucking sand in their shoes is beyond me. It’s like the daycare ladies dip the kid’s feet in honey and let them run wild in the damn sandbox. Then they throw the socks back on, just to shove it up the parent’s asses. Just a little sweet revenge for having to wipe our kid’s snotty noses, change their shitty diapers, and put up with their little toddler attitudes. I can imagine them sitting home, sipping a glass of wine, with a shit eating grin, daydreaming about Armbone struggling in the sink…….back to the story.... and AJ says,

“Ooooo, Daddy it too hot.”
There wasn’t much concern in the tone of his voice, so I figured he’s talking about the water. I turn the hot down a little and keep on the task at hand.  With the water cooled down, I say,
“Relax, it’s not too hot.”
He fires back, “It too hot! It too hot! Ooooooo, Daddy, it too hot.” Voice-tone kicked up a bit, I'll admit, but not enough to make me think he’s talking about anything other than the water on his feet. I figured he was just putting on an act so I'd get him out of the sink.
“Just relax, it’s not too hot!” Now I’m getting aggravated.

“It too hot!” he yells.

As I go to yell back, mind you I'm arguing with a 2 year old, I finally look up from his feet to notice he’s 4 fingers/2 knuckles deep in the hot wax. FUUUUCCCK! I rip his hand out of the molten lava and start stripping the wax off his fingers. Why the hell wouldn’t he pull his fingers out of the fucking wax the second he realized it’s scorching hot? Was he was testing me? Maybe he figured, Daddy was away for a year, and the three months that he’s been home have gone way too smooth. An occasional piss on the floor here, a bump on the head there. Nothing serious. Time to throw a monkey wrench at old Armbone, and see how long it takes for his dumb ass to notice. Well you little shit, you win this round. Chalk one up to toddlers everywhere.

A Quick Feel Good Story

I'd like to give you a quick story about a young soldier, that will give you an idea of what the fuck we're dealing with in the modern day army. A couple years ago, I was over in Kuwait on my second deployment. It was a pretty tit deployment, no danger, just pretty much everyday work as if you were in the usa. Except it gets really hot and you can never leave the base. While on base, soldiers move around in humvees and other military vehicles, but they also drive vans, pickup trucks, and John Deere Gators. Well one day, one of our young specialists backed a 15 passenger van into a Gator. For those who don't know what a Gator is, it's pretty much a beefed up 4x4 golf cart. Anyway, she backs the van into the Gator. Later on that day I had to go see this young soldier to get an accident report from her. This is pretty much exactly how the conversation went. "Spc. I need you to tell me exactly what happened?" Armbone. "I already told SFC Ru Paul." Sp...

Karma Sutra, Squirt Bottles, and Taint

Birthing class numero tres was tonight. It was another interesting class, containing a couple moments of severe hilarity. The class laughed hard and the teacher informed me that she's never had so many inappropriate comments in any of her prior classes. Don't worry though, she said it in a good way. First thing that we went over tonight, were the different positions the woman can be in while pushing. The beginning was a pretty boring part of class for the man. We pretty much just sat there, while the women sat holding their knees, with their chins down to their chest, practicing pushing for ten seconds on and off. While this was going on, my mind had time to wander. So I was looking at the chart of different "pushing positions", and I couldn't help but notice that they all strangely resembled sex positions. Call me a pervert, but I bet I wasn't the only guy in the class that was thinking this shit. So here they are....
