Inchworms



Today at the zoo my friend Whitney's son Gabe got mixed up in a game of red light green light. The leader wasn't giving enough time between lights and the game just melted away into a game where you run. I ran into my neighbor Shelby and I introduced Whitney saying "You both have the most messed up mothers I have ever heard." Which is true. I am not very good at introductions. The flowers K sent from Chicago died and on a jog some young girls, maybe 7 or 8, said look we found these inch worms, one is named inch and the other is named incher. I said they should name one millimetero, the great Spanish inchworm acrobat. I said good luck finding more then I sensed a parent in the doorway. I should have looked up and waved while I was leaving but the thought went threw my head of maybe you shouldn't talk to kids of a certain age. Everyone is so suspect. I guess that means I am a pervert. Shit.

Catch up

We went to the Aquarium today. On the walk there Finn was looking at two cops. One said "He looks like he has never seen a couple brothers in uniform." Ha Ha. I guess he hasn't but he is pretty young and besides, was that like a line from a movie you are quoting. It was such a random thing to say. Especially since the cops weren't black. Okay, they were black but it was still strange. Then we petted star fish.
The fence looks nice but my neighbor is "short right now" and may have to pay me his half "when he gets it". Nice.
The five days without K went fine but it is really nice to have her back.

The fence going up


But slowly. We work when Finn is napping mostly. Today we were putting in posts near the bedroom and I walked by the window and he was looking at me. He smiled and then I smiled. Then I would hide and jump in front of the window. He would smile. This went on for a while until I went inside and made lunch. Kendra came home early not feeling well. I have a sinus infection but I like it. It makes me feel alive. You should try it.
