i love every part of this but ESPECIALLY “warehouse kick”

I still have not had a chance to tell his dad and I have a sneaking sad suspicion his dad will be embarrassed that he was pestering us or will think I’m mocking him. I am not, it was absolutely fantastic.

(Parents get so self-conscious about their babies bothering people! Last time he visited his mom came and picked him up and was like “welllll he’s super into adult attention sorrrryyyy” and I was like that! is super normal! he is an intense kid just like Farmkid! I am sorry that many grownups are apparently cranky about this! To be fair I probably would have been– not cranky, but so awkward as to be unable to enjoy it, before my experiences with Farmkid, so I guess I get why parents are like that.)

I was talking a little about this on Dreamwidth earlier, but one of my coworkers brought his kids to work yesterday and they were hanging out in the office upstairs, and the little boy, who is about five, got bored in the empty one next door (his sister was reading, but he can’t really read yet, so he has more trouble entertaining himself) and came into my office. and my other coworker was sort of annoyed because he was distracted, but I was super delighted, because he was extremely cute and much more entertaining than my work.

the vignette I shared over on DW was his observations about rainbows, which were cute. but then he came back and mugged me for spearmint gum, which he called “spirit”, which was fantastic. Then he showed me his best move for taking out a bad guy, which was a “warehouse kick”, which involved jumping up in the air and then landing on both feet, because he is five and that’s his level of coordination. 

But the thing I can’t describe adequately and yet you must all hear about is that then he told me his favorite song is “Old Town Road” and then he sang it to me, with great emotion and feeling and artistry, and my friends, it was wonderful, it was the most blessed thing 2019′s zeitgeist has bestowed upon me.

At the dumb boring office job, the store manager's kids are here for the moment, and the boy, who is maybe four, just came in and complimented me on my rainbow dress, and told me rainbow was his favorite color. And then he said that he wished it was raining today. I asked him why, and he said, because then it could end, and there'd be a rainbow, and he made a gesture describing the arc of a rainbow with one hand, and looked all lit-up and happy, and I told him I wished for that too.
We're buds now.
