man … funny stuff happens every day.
one of the most recent things that made me laugh right out loud, actually, was when the BoyBun came up and asked me to help him with something on his tablet … the WiFi or something … and i did. help him. i helped him and he said, as he walked away, “thanks, motherfucker.”
not in any angry or anything way … just the word came out all singsongy like how little kids talk. and it was so strange. and unusual. and he had never used that term before … and i laughed. out loud.
though my parental instinct told me not to. though my hand wanted, desperately, to clasp over my own mouth to hold in the reinforcing sound. i laughed and laughed, and didn’t hold it back.
and i said, “well, you’re welcome motherfucker!” as he disappeared around the corner to play in the basement.
