I saw this kid at work. Strange thing since most folks I see at work are men, very few women and some people that are barely women. U might think it harsh but U have not seen what I have seen..**shivers**
Anyway, the kid. he was so cute. Big eyes, curly hair, the sort that would grow like an afro. he looked at me and waved. he smiled and my heart melted.
I left my work and asked him his name. He told me and added his age in the cutest. he said, I am three!! As he raised 4 fingers in the air.
I decided that I might as well give him some knowledge so we worked on the correct finger formation for the number 3. Soon enough, he got it and we proudly showed the number 3 for all to see. The conversation dried out by then. He had exhausted his chest of nuggets in the time it took to get the 3 formation thing. So he went for the tried and true declaration.
He pointed to his daddy and said "that is my daddy!"it was said with so much pride and surety that whatever was left of my heart pool liquidated and poured out of my chest cavity. God help me, he was adorable. it was one of those moments where you would forget all the crappy things he did to u for the last 2 years.
As soon as he left with his Daddy, i called my wife and the convo went like this.
Wifey: hi baby:
Me: funny u say that, I want kids.
Wifey: what?? u want kids?
Me: I saw a cute kid, i talked to him. I want one.
Wifey: Ok baby, we will talk about his when u get home
me:" I will not be distracted from my quest!! I want babies..
wifey: we will talk later sweetie...
me: LESS TALK More ovulating!!!!
true story!
Not one of my proudest moments but the child was very adorable. the feeling wore off by the time I got home though. i think I am almost ready for kids. Almost. When I get there I will have to convince wifey that i am going to be a great father.
previous child rearing comments about shock collars and tasering our kids will certainly bite me on the ass. Women!! can't take jokes..

Hard to joke with a woman, considering for that 9 months of pregnancy you my friend will be THE ENEMY.
Boy. Or girl. Or one boy and one girl.
