News of the Weird
Dec. 10th, 2012 02:04 pmMy aunt called yesterday to say that her husband has shingles and that he should stay away from kids and pregnant ladies (my cousin is pregnant again!) and my aunt told them that those were the only people they saw. Anyway I called Henry's doctor this morning and she said that as long as the lesions(I really dislike that word) were covered then it should be fine for him to be there. Which is good because the only other option was sending him to my dad's house.
Speaking of my dad I went up and visited yesterday. My stepmom cried a lot and talked about how she had considered killing herself when they moved down here. N (my step nephew/adopted half brother) rode with me and Henry to where we were all eating. We talked about video games and how he would show Henry Left for Dead when he was older. I called him Uncle N and he then said to me "yeah, but I'm not going to be one of those uncles that molests the kid." I laughed and he said no I'm serious. I told him that I understood he was serious, but that I was just not expecting him to say that. He said "well I had to reach between his legs to get his pacifier and I just wanted you to know." I'm pretty sure he is on the autism scale. Sean and Jackie maintain that the only thing wrong with him is adhd. His impulse control and inability to judge social situations is eye-opening out in public. He asked for a gun for Christmas. They at least have the sense to know that he is not capable of being a responsible gun owner at this time(or possibly ever). I told them about teen classes at the range where Patrick is a member so hopefully if they ever consider getting him a gun they will send him there. Also, not that I had considered it, but he really is not going to be alone with Henry.
We have gotten Henry's Christmas gifts and when Patrick was little all his Santa gifts were under the tree unwrapped. Mine just had tags from Santa, but I like the unwrapped idea better. Is there anything special you all did for Christmas?
