WALKING ON SUNSHINE

Ah, well that’s what being a kid’s like, I suppose. You’re still not gonna tell me if you went out with him or not?

They just emulate their parents on that stuff at this age. It doesn’t matter, I’m not in love with him.

Oh, well obviously not. Their tiny brains wouldn’t be able to handle all that. I hope they know Donald Trump is poop, at least. Great. How’s Tuesday night sound?

Nope, they don’t all think Donald Trump is poop. Tuesday night works.

Apparently your kindergarteners are doing it though. Are you busy during the week or can you go out this weekend?

They’re just arguing who to vote for, they’re not going into details. But I mean, they don’t understand it enough to back up who they want to vote for. I can go out during the week.

Both, really. I’d prefer to have my kids fighting about crayons than politics though. Kids fight anyway. Just give me a chance. Please?

Yeah, kids don’t understand the world enough to be doing that. I hope mine don’t. Okay.

I agree with you there. Well, does that mean you won’t go on a date with me now?

Which part? That kids shouldn’t argue like that or that you hope your kid doesn’t? I’m just really afraid you’re gonna hurt me.

Those are things they should be arguing about. Why not? Can you just tell me?

I don’t know if they really should be arguing at all. I hope my kid isn’t like that. Cause we’re not talking about each other with other people. It’s just better that way.

Yeah, I would think so.. Did you end up going out on that date with that guy?

Just about whose is whose. We shouldn’t talk about other girls or guys in our lives, Noah.

Sounds like they’re way too ahead of their years. They should be arguing over crayons.

They definitely are. They argue over those, too.

I can’t tell if that’s a good thing or not… you don’t actually teach them politics, do you?

No, of course not! They get it from home, hearing their parents.

What aspects of it were they arguing over, exactly?

Just who to vote for. 

So I guess I disappeared off the face of the Earth for a week. Whoops? Where did I go? Who knows, certainly not me. I just drove for a while and stayed in a random town because I felt like getting away from the same shit, different day routine I seemed to get into since moving here. Go figure. Did I miss anything or are things are boring as ever?

As long as you had a good time, that’s what matters! Was it another small town you stayed in?
