The Adventures of Doodle and Stuntboy part 98

Long time no write, no real reason for this I just haven’t taken the time to write. Then as the time lengthens from entry to entry I feel that the come back thing should be something amazing, then again what do I have to say that is really amazing just too much pressure. Then there has to be a sufficient amount of time to pass then the expectations of amazing go down and then I can write again.



So that brings us to today and the writing thing as not much new is going on in the world of me I have to invade the past to have anything of note to talk about.



The new Muppet movie ads have provided just the thing. I haven’t seen and I don’t think poorly of anyone who has happened to see it, my kids are beyond that style of cinema and I have no real love of Kermit and gang unless you are talking about Janice from the band but she is in the wheelhouse … but that isn’t where we are going with things



The ads include Fozy the Bear’s catch phrase Wocka Wocka



Which was something doodle would say when she was about 3



She just didn’t go around muttering Wocka Wocka if she had done that we would have taken her to be checked



No, doodle would run around telling knock, knock jokes… mostly really bad and not funny knock, knock jokes.



Her favorite to tell was



Knock, Knock

Who’s there?

Dwayne

Dwayne who?

Dwayne the bathtub I’m drowning



LOL



Then the zinger



Wocka, Wocka



After every single joke she would mutter the wocka, wocka because after the one hundredth rendition of Dwayne it is hard to muster a good fake chuckle but the zinger wockas would really get a laugh and a real one too



Then she would run off to play something else for a bit and then when she felt it was time to check up on her parents to make sure they were not in any trouble she would come back in to see what we were doing.



She was and remains fairly independent and a pretty witty and smart person as well.

Stunt boy is pretty quick witted as well but on a different level he zaps you with the in moment things like once I was saying I don’t really enjoys musicals because no one just breaks into song in their everyday lives.



Stunt boy was in the car but not a part of the conversations and says ask me how my day was



I asked him, how was your day?


You guessed it he breaks into a song about how is day has been just splendiferous.



That of course is just impossible not to enjoy especially when it is from your own kid.



Well, that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely



Happy Birthday if it’s your birthday and a very merry un birthday if it isn’t your birthday

Adventures in Shopping

Last Saturday Doodle and I went shopping for the holidays. Now you may be thinking have you finished all your shopping for her yet? The answer to your general inquiry is, No. See the way the whole shopping for Doodle for the holidays works is that she will do one of the following

One, She will just go shopping with you and just wander around and put things in the cart she likes which is what we did Saturday

Two she will email you a list of all the stuff she wants complete with links to where on the internet you will find said items. Which is very helpful.

The last way is that she will buy all the things she wants and gives you the receipt and the items for wrapping or if she really wants the item right now the receipt so it can be wrapped. Which she opens and then goes oh yeah I love that present.

I like the last two options but the first one is my favorite because we get to spend time together. She says the same thing.

This last adventure of shopping was event filled. I saw lots of co-workers out doing their shopping. We had a horrible time in one store finding anyone to help us.

Doodle is one to speak her mind and in one place she wanted one thing which they did not have in the store, and once we were able to find a person to help us they told her the thing she wanted was only available on line. To which she said something like well nice that you put a sign up.

Which played out with me looking at the sign for said thing and the particular style she wanted said on line only but very faintly but it was there.

Then Doodle was like Oh, well then I guess you are right. Which I’m not sure if she was flirting with the sales boy or not. I mean he wasn’t unattractive but I just don’t like to think about her mac-ing on boys in front of me, and I don’t like seeing boys mac-ing on her… it’s a Dad thing. To us they are always little girls and no matter how old she gets there is always a part of me that sees her in the little white cowboy boots, Jeans shorts and pink shirt and that oversized backpack off to her first day of school.

So we soon left that store and on to the next one, the mac-ing part is important for this part of the story.

We are making good progress in this store and I got to hang out in parts of stores that I don’t usually go into. Yup the girl sections, now I’m an adult about this and when I’m in a relationship and the partner says oh hey you need to pick up this or that girl product I’ll do it and don’t think twice about it. Not sure why some guys won’t buy that stuff. But make up and that stuff is confusing and they generally don’t ask you to do that shopping. I just figured it magically replenished at the house because I never saw it being bought.

However, this store ended up having another shopper who was enthralled with Doodle and would not take her eyes off of her. I was like wow who knew. This particular stalker was a girl who was perhaps 16 maybe 17 and she literally could not keep from staring at Doodle. Doodle was completely oblivious to the whole thing until I said I think you have a fan. And she looked over and saw the girl staring. At first she said no, she isn’t looking at me until 15 minutes later and she is still gawking. Doodle is like do they think you can’t see them looking at you?

When we were leaving that area we had to walk right toward Doodles fan girl and she stared hard the whole time until the fast two feet when she turned 180 degrees so she could watch her walk away. Of course she was burning holes into Doodles back. I know this because I looked over from the register and she was still looking.

Hopefully she gets this whole stare down thing under control and isn’t so obvious about checking people out. I mean looking if ok but really take a picture it does last a little longer and in this day and age you can do that with a ton of devices and then you can walk around the corner and decide if you have a good photo or not and if you do stare to your hearts content.

In case you are keeping count that would be Doodle 2, invisible don 0…Yup nobody was stalking me at any of the stores. Nobody loves me, everybody hates me, guess I’ll go eat worms.

In other news.

Stunt boy and I were at his dental appointment yesterday and they were all amazed at how tall he is getting these days. Which he is, so next year the Jay and Silent Bob thing might work as a Halloween thing. Hopefully by then I won’t fit my part as well


Well, that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely

Happy Birthday if it’s your birthday and a very merry un birthday if it isn’t your birthday

Cinnamon Thunder

There is a lot of stuff that I want to say about a lot of things but I’m not going to right now. So ….

In other news…

Had dinner with doodle last night down at Pop’s. That was a good time we had a nice conversation and I played in the Rock, Paper, Scissors contest. It was a good time. Lost in the first round but I started strongly.

Now they don’t play the Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock version. Despite losing in the first round it was good fun.

One of the kids there was called Cinnamon Thunder or something like that and you guessed it he was a ginger kid.

Anyway Doodle and I have had a lot more frequent get together things mainly me feeding her but that’s cool, I enjoy my daughter coming around and I think she is funny, smart, you know good company.

High School graduation is in the near future for her and that is exciting and she is finally getting very excited about it all. All in all it was a good time. Looking forward to more of those, hope we can continue to have dinners together I like the cooking bit too although I didn’t have to cook this past time.

We did watch a driver attempt to parallel park yesterday several times without success. It was particularly good entertainment and the passenger of the car was very patient with the driver and did not say anything or didn’t appear to be critical of the many failed attempts. The driver didn’t realize until near the end that we had been watching this driving fail with great enjoyment. Then once the driver realized the bad parking was entertainment, well for a small part of the evening, the attempts stopped and they drove off. Notice I didn’t say who was driving I’ll leave that for you to divine who was driving and who was the passenger in the car. Leave your guesses below is you want.



That’s all for now other stuff tomorrow, have a great day and play nice in the neighborhood.
