I think I finally realized that just because you are a father, you are not necessarily a responsible parent. The reason that I say I finally realized this is because mommy went out to dinner with a friend, leaving daddy and Jaden at home to fend for themselves. Now, in her defense, she is really only to be gone from 5:30 to 7:30 or so, but nevertheless she is absent. I am sitting at the table and Jaden is sitting in his high chair eating dinner. THIS is where the observation occurred. While he was waiting on his chicken nuggets to become edible, I served him an appetizer of cheddar goldfish. The main course was cooked and cooled (b/c Mr. Jaden doesn't like his food too "ott", or "hot" for those of you that don't know Jadenspeak) and served with both ketchup AND spicy dark mustard. Yes, Jaden eats and likes the Grey Poupon. Now the serving of Grey Poupon and cheddar goldfish might constitute poor parenting all on it's own, but I took it up a notch. Mommy is going to be bringing daddy dinner home with her, but I was a little hungry so I decided to grab a snack. Yes, daddy broke out the barbecue pork rinds. What are the odds that Jaden is going to want some of those when he has all kinds of food in front of him? Well, apparently pretty high. Not only did Jaden want the pork rinds more than his chicken, he was dipping them in ketchup as well. Barbecue pork rinds and ketchup....sounds like my college years, but I digress. In any event, you will be glad to know he did end up eating all of his chicken, as well as cheddar goldfish that he also dipped in ketchup. Well, I'll go on further, but I think Child Services just showed up at the front door. Enjoy your weekend!
P.S. This all took place while we watched football on the big screen. Mommy is going to be so disappointed when she reads this post. Or maybe she just shakes her head and says "my boys"!
