well, not really. i would never punch a child. i would just trade them in for a new hi-tech cell phone at my local pawn shop.
anyway…
this story is from about a year ago. it was when one of my best friends was preggers with my godson. i mean, wayyy preggers, about to pop. we had stopped by another friend’s place for her daughter’s baptism shin dig. all was going well until a little girl made me feel like an asshole.
there i was, standing in the kitchen, next to my about-to-pop friend, when a little girl comes up to me, lifts up my shirt to reveal my midriff, points to my belly and says, “baby?”
okay, you little chump, let’s get your shit right. i have been working out like a mad horse for days on end for you to have it all come crashing down on me. do you not see my “i could go in to labor at any given moment” friend standing right next to me? there’s the baby. in her belly. what do i have in mine? well, nothing in about 2.5 when i go and purge everything that i have eaten in the past 72 hours.
so, politely, because i can (sometimes) be polite, respond, “umm, no. but thanks for trying to tell me something.”
of course, the mother of the child says, “no, honey. there’s a baby,” and points to my friend’s belly. the mother then looks at me and looks away. awkward. your kid just called me a hefer in front of everyone. ahhh, kids. they say the darnest things…those little effing shits.
