Washing the Dirty Monkey

Yes, that's been the highlight of my day so far. My son got a "TY" (aka beanie baby) monkey for Valentine's day and took it to school, where it got dropped all over and it was a mess. So we put him in the kitchen sink and gave him a Tide Mountain Spring bubble bath (and you all think I have NO LIFE....) It's pretty funny to hear a beanie baby talk. For future reference, they come out fine if you throw them in the dryer on a low setting with a towel and a fabric softener sheet.

Our school was actually closed today because so many kids and teachers are sick. (Great. I get to be home with my little darlings and wait for them to start getting sick.) We went to have lunch with Mr. C, who has been consulting at this company for a while - it looks like they may hire him (see me doing a happy dance?) At the diner the waitress was TOTALLY busting on my son. She put his food down and said "Dan would you leave me alone for five minutes now, please?" The look on his face was classic. Something like confusion and wondering "now what did I do?" but knowing that she was kidding at the same time. He wasn't even really sure how she knew his name.

Edit - So, you were looking for porn, from my title? Sorry Johnny, but there isn't much room for porn in parenthood. It gets crowded out by other things. That was pretty much my point!!
