Kindergarten Boozebags

Last week in my kindergarten English class we did vegetables one day. We learned the words carrot, cucumber, and tomato, and then each child told me which vegetable he likes most. Yesterday I decided to do fruits, but I only had two typical fruits. Two isn't a good number, though, so I added a lime. It's colorful, so who cares, right? Here's the really odd thing, though: two of the kids then told me limes are their favorite fruit of the three choices! I'm thinkin' damn, these two must really hate apples and oranges to choose an unknown, or else we got a couple margarita swilling kindergarten boozebags on our hands!

Last night I took my womenfolk out to the Ramazzotti Concert (kids under 7 free, otherwise there's no way in the whole wide world I would have taken them). I'm not really into his music, by my special lady is gaga for it, and I'm happy to expose the children, because most of it is quality music, not pop shit.

My special lady was thrilled to exhaustion, and the baby jumped herself into exhaustion too, passing out half way through the show. I was left with the child, and kept he behaved enough that the woman sitting in front of her only had to turn around twice. She like the show, but who has the patience for two hours of it? There were two major additions to the activities. One was watching me play backgammon on my phone...I mean, playing team backgammon against my phone. Then she requested we play normal backgammon rather than team backgammon, so I said we can play pretend backgammon: I feigned a roll of the dice and told her I got a six and a one; then she did the same, but she got double sixes!

The other addition was saying one of the following ("do like this" = indicating tickle me around my neck):

"Tete, now I gonna stand up and you do like this!"

"Tete, now I gonna sit down and you do like this!"
