The world will amuse you

Settle down and let the world amuse you with its many delights – that was on the tail end of my horoscope today and well, there it is. Last Monday, I went to park my car in the Marigny so that we would have get away wheels after Mardi Gras and on the way home, a car pulled up and asked for directions – I didn’t realize as I was half in the car telling this man where to go that he was naked from the waist down and masturbating. I just thought to myself – Really? – and then whatyagonnado?

Today, I got up and took Tin to a playmate at his friend’s house whose mother is pregnant, I went with another mother and her son as well. We three women (the pregnant one including) were going to have lunch and a little shopping as she was about to have her baby, and her husband was watching the three boys. As we started shopping so started her contractions, by the time we got midway through lunch, it was real, and so we hauled butt to the house and her husband got her in the car and me and my other friend stayed with the three boys – she never made it to the hospital, instead she had the baby on Carrollton Avenue.

So while we watched the boys, the pregnant one’s son who never naps, fell asleep and slept two hours, the other boy then went to sleep, and mine decided to poo his pants. Then eat rat poison. In that order.

I called the father who had delivered the baby and who is also a doctor and he said that it was a mosquito larva poison and wasn’t dangerous but might give him diarrhea – check, already did that I thought.

Then by the end of the day, we all loaded in the truck and went to the hospital to visit mom, dad and baby.

Ten hours of nonstop amusement. Ain’t we got fun?
