The day before Caldi’s Christmas. December 25, 2007
Posted by caldi-chan in : parents , trackbackT’was the day before Christmas, and the spawn was at grandma’s, nothing new there. It was time to for a dinner, and the ride was a half hour late. So I sat and I wait, browsing the net. Unknowing to my suprise, that I’d have to transform a transformer from robot to tank.
The toy was confusing, all interlocking with springs. Young little Slade had long since abandoned, the toy for the basement. Yet toiled swan and I did, to transform that god awlful toy, if it meant hours of fustration.
Every little push, or sudden touch set off the sounds, and I was left to my fustrations of wishing it the package said “Batteries not included.” Loath to our dismay, that was not the case, so got used to the gun torrent sounds, and the kabangs and kabooms.
We had figured out twelve steps, and by then we saying.
“Optimus prime, wasn’t this HARD!” Biting our lips we read the instructions again and again, and decided to screw it and gave it to Slade’s dad. With ease like a pro he transformed that cursed toy, and we looked on in wonder, as Slade ohhed and awwed. Only to say with that adorable grin.
“The wheels don’t move, why don’t that dad?”
I choked back the laughter, and bit my left cheek. I wanted to say.
“Merry Freakin Christmas, and have a good year. I’ll not attempt that abomination for the rest of the year!”
Then it ws off to My moms to spend the night. But there was no sleep to be had. The spawn did not sleep. I’ve bags under my eyes, and I’m tired to the core. Tia is high on sugar, and the guests have yet to arrive.
A second christmas dinner, and I can only groan. My stomah is weary of eating more food.
