Well, I made a new friend last night.
-all my life I have had no patience with kids, that’s why I am not having them ever. They are smelly, ugly, and too loud to be near. Anyway, we were invited to a dinner party last night at a strangers house (the hostess’s friends house). On our way there we called for directions. The owner of the house answered and told us the correct route. Right before we hung up, she said “It’s the house with all the kids in the front yard”. Great, we thought. Just what we needed – a bunch of screaming insane kids to ruin the night.
We showed up and sure enough there were a billion kids and all the crazy thoughts popped in my head. There is nothing worse than showing up to a complete strangers house and not knowing anyone there except the hostess. Then you have to sit around a table full of happy glowing couples and listen to their stupid conversations about the joy of changing diapers, my kid is teething, to my breasts hurt a lot when I started breast feeding also”.
We met the woman and her (god I have no idea how many she had) kids and the other people that showed up. We did get to see someone we did know who brought her female lover. That was a bonus to know more than one person.
Anyway, I went up stairs to go to the bathroom and the kids (all 100 of them ) were in an adjourning room playing, screaming, ect. When I came out, one of the little girls was crying. I asked her if she was OK and she said she fell and hit her tooth. So I looked at it and it was fine. Just to get her to stop her crying, I told her “if it falls out, place it in water until it grows roots and then put it back in the hole in your mouth”. Her eyes grew wide and she ran out of the room in a hurry. Good, she stopped crying and I scared her- I thought.
That night she was at my side, wanting to play with me, and no one else….
In the end it was a good night with a little girl who was not tainted by grown-up thoughts.
