Friday Night

Yep, me and K-dawg hanging out. Mom caught us on a little "down time". Kaitlyn and I threw back a 12 pack of Harpoon I.P.A.. Gotta love the Harpoon. I was a little upset with Kaitlyn, after a little bit of drinking she became a little sloppy. It started by her getting all loud. I'm not sure what she was saying but it was loud. After that incident I'm pretty sure she pee'd her drawers. Look I know peeing our drawers is a right of passage but to happen the first time out drinking... Last but not least the night ended with a technicolor yawn. That's right nothing like a little vomit to end the night before passing out. Okay, I lied. We didn't drink a 12 pack of Harpoon it was a six- er of O'doul's. What do you think a I am an irresponsible parent? Actually( stealing this word from a friend of mine), nothing happened at the Chez Clausson. It was a quiet night. Got a big day tomorrow... That line "Got a big day tomorrow" will live forever in me. I'm sure everyone has watched the movie Old School. If you haven't... your loss you pompous film snob! Meaningless movies have their place in the entertainment world. All movies can't have some poignant meaning. ohh... I digress....

Will Ferrell plays the character of Frank Ricard. Frank is at a party near \ on the local college campus. Frank's hangin out by the keg

talking with some of the party go' ers. Music is loud and the conversation is strained.

...and action

Frank: I told my wife I wouldn't drink tonight. Besides, I got a big day tomorrow. You guys have a great time.

College Student: A big day? Doing what?

Frank: Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we're going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don't know, I don't know if we'll have enough time.

So, what will my big day consist of ? DADDY HELL a.k.a. Babies "R" US. I absolutely loathe this store. They prey on parents. I remember helping Becky pick out furniture for Kaitlyn. Their displays confused the hell out of us. I have a theory: They want to break you down. They want your pregnant wife to become overwhelmed and emotional (by no fault of her own... we are talking about major hormone changes here). This is how they take the legs out from unsuspecting new dads. Moms are our navigators and leaders when entering this store. You know dad's don't know what a boppy is, nor do most care. Dads only way to navigate and survive Babies "R" US is through the help of mom. This is where their retired CIA Psychological Warfare Consultants also known as the Store Manager \ Sales Associates step in... They look nice, sweet, and willing to help you, but it's a facade used to win your trust! Simple equation folks.
