Carlos doesn’t like kids; he says they’re loud and dirty and
obnoxious and the only thing he likes about them is when I am asked if I like
children and I say:
“Yes. Deep-fried with a side of Ranch dressing.”
But I digress. Carlos was set to translate at the courthouse
here in Camden and I dropped him off on my way to work. He knows the building
very well and finds his way around with ease. The courts were slightly back up
so he sat on a bench in the hallway waiting for the lawyer and client to be called
for their hearing.
As he sat there, two screaming girls were running amok in
the hallway and finally their mother put the kibosh on the shenanigans. So,
they walked to the bench where Carlos sat and began talking to him:
“What is that?”
“My cane.”
“What’s it for?”
“It helps me get around because I can’t see.”
“You can’t see?”
“Nope.”
And that started a long game of how many fingers am I holding
up, until one girl asked him how he got to the courthouse:
“Did you drive?”
“No, someone dropped me off.”
“How did you get up here.”
And he talked about counting steps and listening to the
sounds in the hallways to find the elevators and the stairs and the courtroom
doors, and those little girls sat with him and questioned him and studied him
and chatted with him learned a little something from him about being
differently abled.
I said:
“See you do like kids.”
“No I don’t.”
“You do because I would have asked to have them fried and served
with Ranch.”
And I wasn’t wrong. But he is far sweeter and more patient
with kids than he likes to let on.
He’s really a sweetheart. |
YET ANOTHER REASON TO NOT USE AMAZON! I hope the company collapses. It's no different than the people who voted trump and then say I don't like his agenda. If you voted for him you support him...same thing here. You use Amazon then yes, you are further empowering this bigoted company.
ReplyDeleteHuh...does that bitch Nancy really, really want to go outside with Jasmine? Because I can tell you who WON'T be coming back in.
I might want to tweak Drew Goins nipples.
And I'm with Carlos. I hate kids. They scream when they are hungry. They scream when they are wet. They scream when they need their toys. They scream when they are under your car. Joke kidding!!!! I can't hear them then, my window is up.
I am so with you on Amazon. If you use them and they hold this position then you are as complicit.
DeleteDrew was on Jeopardy again last night in another pectoral sweater!
You and Carlos would get along famously! Although, he secretly enjoys educating them, I think.
Jasmine Crockett would put Nancy down with a look.
Right on, Tuxedo!
ReplyDeleteHe was one smart feline!
DeleteAw, see, Carlos? You helped kids understand what it's like to have to work at something to adapt. You ole softie, you! (Just for the record, I'm with the "Fried with Ranch" crowd.)
ReplyDeleteOh, so much is going to change on Monday. We need to be prepared for it because it's coming. The signs are everywhere, from the Mace bs to the Bezos (cowardly) bs --- his is particularly odd, because he could buy and sell The Felon 100 times over.
Congratulations to Venton Jones and Gregory Scott Jr.! May they have a long and happy life together!
ReplyDeleteCan't with children. Can't.
ReplyDeleteRugrats do not belong in adult spaces. Also, control those children!
Drew's nipples? Yum. Right up there with Matthew's smoldering.
And you just know that the Nancy Mace brand of stupidity is going to skyrocket (Repugs are famewhores who cannot even spell). So be warned. And eff Bezos.
And I love Betty Bowers!!
XOXO
No person, whatever their colour, sexual orientation, religion etc. is less than anyone else (and it's impossible to be less than the orange felon). We're all the same under the skin.
ReplyDeleteSpot on as usual. I never cared for Underwood and here’s another reason to not. Also will continue NOT drinking Coke products because the asshat CEO presented a special commemorative Diet Coke bottle to Fat@ss Orangie.
ReplyDeleteI could possibly try to tolerate children if they were well behaved, but I never seem to meet any.
A lot of great stuff today, Bob! 🤗 Isn't it great that dirty, obnoxious children are also immensely curious about the world around them? Carlos was wonderful for helping their little open minds! 🥰 I often guffaw at the ridiculous poses your "Hit It?" men get into, but Matthew wrapped in a bedsheet was nothing to scoff at! 🤩
ReplyDeleteHmm, respect for flag law and for the symbol of the nation...good luck on that when their Godhead Trump soils it with sweaty hugs and autographs it like it's his creation!! 🤬
And a little kitty shall lead us...Tuxedo Rocks!! 🤘😻
In my judgement, there is not nearly enough "wokeness" in the US military. To be "woke" is to see things as they really are, refusing to hide from the truth.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I know how to spell "military"... and "Hegseth" too. It is spelt "M-O-R-O-N".

ReplyDelete(Carlos) (Tuxedo always)
xoxo :-)
Carlos speaks with forked tongue. If he didn't like children, he would not have tolerated their questions and answered them so patiently. I think he probably means that he likes them well enough, but not enough to have any of his own.
