Maybe I'll get a dog
Okay, so I don't really know anything about the WWE or whatever other professional wrestling organizations out there, nor do I really know any current pro wrestlers, so forgive me my lack of appropriate cultural references. I mean my memories of wrestling harken back to the Dallas Sportatorium and the Von Erichs. Oh, and I remember a guy called "the Crusher" who would grab an opponents face as they would wave their arms wildly in great agony. The spectacle of human suffering has always provided great entertainment, but now I have come to the realization maybe it was all a secret plot by the belly domination agency to prepare us to be docile and accept the fate that awaits us in belly world. But, I digress.....
The point of this rambling prologue is to issue my quiet cry for help as I didn't realize that the strategic error I made was to do this again so soon. Last go-round the other progeny were very much grown and therefore more help than harm, hell, they were all driving. Last time the routine we had was: get food, sit down, get up, get more food, sit, food, apologize (doesn't really matter what for) sit, food, clean, food, bed, sleep, and repeat.
Now my friends, the wrinkle in the well oiled machine that I had become is the FYOT.
What is the FYOT you ask? The FOUR YEAR OLD TYRANT that now lives in my house.
You see they have now joined forces to be the baddest daddy beating tag team around. I. Am. No. Match.
Together they have touched power rings or something and have become a super force that has the ability to sense whenever I'm done with whatever chore I have been doing and get a silly idea I might want to sit down, or poop, or both. Then as if by magic, something needs to be done, get food, kill a bug, wipe a butt, get food, scratch a back, get food, etc. And with the superpowers they now possess, they don't have to leave whatever comfortable state they are in, they just use the super voice to summon yours truly. Did you know that historians studying ancient texts have discovered in many cultures "Dad" means "hurry up dummy and get in here 'cause I need something"?
It's true, look it up
I brought the belly home early yesterday to grab a nap while I went to retrieve the FYOT from the other minions that cater to her needs during the day. I thought "hey, I have a few minutes, maybe I'll have a little me time in the loo". As soon as I made myself comfortable I heard the belly yelling. I ignored it, a few moments of quiet, then yelling again, I ignored it. A few minutes the yelling again. Giving up, I exited the quiet room, walked into the belly nest, to which the belly said "oh, I thought you left"
Let that sink in my friends, she thought I left, but kept yelling for me...just in case, I suppose. Defeated, I simply asked what the belly needed, to which she said, no really she said this, "I was going to show you what somebody posted on Facebook"
If I ever meet anybody that works for Facebook, I'm gonna punch them in the face.
Any-hoo, I find myself contemplating ways I might tip the scales back in my favor, and I thought maybe a dog might help the estrogen levels around here, but nah, I'd just have to fix it dinner too.
