something I do when I’m mad at my gf
stick my tongue out at her
my reaction: Actually, when I’m upset with my gf I will give her the finger when she is not looking. I will wait until she turns around and let out a big middle finger. It’s so gratifying. It’s the finger she will never know about. It’s the finger that makes me feel vindicated. In reality, it’s the finger that never wins.
talking Haagen
I try to keep in touch with my brother on a weekly basis because he lives in Arizona. It’s rare that we get to talk. I like to know what’s going on with his life. I like to have serious heart to hearts. Last week, we ended up talking about ice cream for 30 minutes. We talked about ice cream recipes, flavors, and ice cream making techniques. I don’t think I even asked about his family or how his wife was doing. I didn’t even ask him how he was doing. However, we talked about ice cream. Ice cream consumed our entire conversation.
taco bucket
I remember growing up there was a KFC/Taco Bell restaurant and it blew my mind. I couldn’t fathom how they could have a Taco Bell and Pizza Hut under one roof. How could they make Fried Chicken and Tacos? It didn’t make sense to me. Then I realized they were owned by the same corporation. Then I realized it’s a kitchen. You can make a lot of different foods in a kitchen. They don’t make kitchens designated for one type of food. Taco Bell could make hamburgers if they wanted. I’m glad there are no more joint restaurants. I’d get really confused seeing a Jimmy John Domino’s.
garage can
I want to believe in our future but sometimes it’s hard. My stepdaughter thinks the garage is a garbage. She will throw out her bag of bedroom garbage in the garage. I don’t know where people start these habits. Garbage should be thrown directly into the garbage not the floor of the garage. It gets annoying to have to step over bags of garbage to get to my car. I didn’t think you have to spell out everything for the young generation, but you do. I could say something but I feel really dumb telling someone to throw garbage in a garbage. The garbage you’re holding should be a cue that it should be in the garbage.
dad soda
I’m not the type of dad that my gf will say “go ask your father”. I’m not strict or mean. I don’t have that old school Dad vibe of being stern. I don’t get home after a long day of work and have a beer. I’m usually already home from being a part time stay at home dad. I also don’t drink. I can’t command respect from my family while I’m drinking a La Croix. You listen to dads that drink beer or whisky. You don’t listen to dads who enjoy sparkling water. They don’t know how to be assertive; they don’t even know flavor.
doogie howser moment
In conclusion, I want a lot of things to change in our household but I drink La Croix. I can’t yell at my kids to throw away the garbage while sipping on a la croix lime but I can secretly start giving them the finger. I wouldn’t do that. I don’t know if I want the pressure of being the “Go ask your father’ dad. I’m the guy who didn’t know how they invented a Pizza Hut/Taco Bell. It’s too much pressure. I just want to talk about ice cream flavors with my brother.
