You wanna know what serenity is like?
Drive home and sit with your cat quietly on the couch after watching two grandsons for four hours while they fight over toys, squirt you with squirt guns, scream because I wouldn’t let them eat an entire bottle of gummy vitamins, continuously spew toy cars throughout the house, fight over who had the TV remote, fight over who was the handsome white guy avatar on the Nintendo WII, build a giant house from magnetic tiles and then have one of them knock it down just to piss off the other one, hit me in the balls with a stretchy rubber toy man, argue about why they can’t go outside and shoot a bow and arrow at some unknown target without me to supervise, continuously blow a rescue whistle in my ear while fighting over who got to blow, hook up a Bluetooth loudspeaker to a remote microphone and scream into the mic followed by fighting over who got to scream into the mic, play loud daddy and mommy fart songs on the Alexa speaker, and yell for me to wipe their butts after taking a dump.
It was all great though in retrospect and I can’t wait for the next boy to arrive in February.
