A hard lesson in growing up male


By Blackwalt - Posted on 18 February 2008

Well I had hoped Rolly would have made it past 2.5 years in age before he started getting hard lessons in growing up male.

He hit one of life's first milestones on Sunday.

Getting stood up.

Yes his date for the Backyardigans bailed on him, one hours notice with one of your traditional excuses, "I am throwing up everywhere... but I still want to go, really."

Yes, sure you do. We believe little Snuffy D junior, we believe. You little heart breaker you.

Sure, "I am throwing up" isn't quite as original as "I have to wash my hair," "I have a headache," or "stop stalking me you sick perv!" Which was Snuffy's favourite although MoriceRevek seemed inordinately familiar with it.

I comforted Rolly and his delicate male ego with the construction of a K'Nex Big Air Ball Tower. This seemed to work pretty well up until Guba crash tested it in her usually manner (previously referred to here).

Let's just say that it didn't pass and leave it at that.

And Rolly will go through it. I feel for him.

How come I have never seen this one before? I have the other 2 big ball towers, but never heard of the Big Air Ball tower?

Oh, and I am sorry Rolly got stood up.

Where can I find that big air tower?

Yes, I am sad to say, I have gotten "I have to wash my hair" as an excuse. But on the bright side, I was able to get my police record expunged, the tazer burn marks are pritty much healed, and I am now imune to mace and peper spray.

But I think I have picked on Revek enough over the years...

Oh wait who am I kidding....
