Thrilling Thursday report, see man:

 

Awoke far too early to ensure by phone call that Mini-B. made it to skool on time, ex-Mrs.-T-B. out on business man.

Breakfast was 2 ready-to-consume hard-boiled eggs, ingest we man.

 

Went to tyre place at opening to get a slow-leaking tyre fixed, successful we man.

Returned to casa for siesta #1, acceptable zzz man.

 

Visited Mama T-B., all the usual done man.

Lunch was 2 halves of a chicken-patty sandwich, ingest we man.

Went from there to Costco Business Center, all Many (2+2) items successfully procured man.

Got phone call from someone needing assistance, preclude siesta #2 just then man.

Assisted the someone needing assistance, assist we man.

 

Told Mini-B. that we would procure Two Guys Eve din-din on way back, expectant wee man man.

Got 2 "maple bourbon bacon cheeseburgers" at BK*, try these and ingest Two Guys man.

     *WUOCs, F$WM

 

Movie night immediately thereafter was Jackass: The Movie, watch** Two Guys man.

     **we & wee man done laughed so hard we was sick o' laughing, definitely a Two Guys movie man

Many (2+1) bowls of Costco popcorn were consumed***, ingest Two Guys man.

     ***to be applied to Two Guys Week tally next week, great head start man

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. soon arrived to retrieve Mini-B., end of Two Guys eve man.

 

We retired for siesta #2, in great need of zzz we man.

Phone (intentionally left in other room) kept ringing, finally surrender to it we man.

It was Mini-B., highly upset wee man man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. had left his son (young orange miu) in back yard for hours, inattentive senior she man man.

Miu had gotten into someone else's yard, lost miu man.

Mini-B. told us that ex-Mrs.-T-B. was like this all the time, upset wee man man.

We told him that this was pretty much in character for ex-Mrs.-T-B., si man.

We said that parents aren't perfect, see and no man.

We said that in Ecu, mius are merely animals and not family members, si and no man.

We told him to cuddle and love on miu, and to have adult caucus with ex-Mrs.-T-B. later or tomorrow, si man.

Mini-B. calmed down a little after that, relief man.

However, siesta #2 was effectively hosed, sigh man.

 

Mini-B. texted after Many (2x2x2 +2), "can you bring some pants over here for skool tomorrow, huh man" si man.

We complied, compliant we man on behalf of wee man man.

We then hit supermarket half an hour before closing, rather proximal man.

He seized the Passover wine at the recent service and insisted on trying it, oh well man.

He didn't start yodeling in fractured Spanglish afterward, so there's that man.

i've heard some say that too - yet it's also in their nature to be flattened by cars, attacked by other cats, dogs, coyotes, owls, snakes, infested with parasites, and so on.
