Banned Again!

Who? Lola? Umm no. Eddie Haskell. (My son's friend who I cannot stand.) The kid got banned several months ago for dropping gay bombs in my living room while playing video games. And yes, I called him out on it.

What happened this time to provoke the current (and if I'm smart...lifetime ban)? My son, Eddie Haskell and a kid from down the block went to the movies. I dropped them off and they walked home. Guess whose idea that was? Uh-huh. Eddie Haskell's. Then they start playing video games in my living room (while I surf the net on my laptop, in full view of them...cuz what else would I be doing?) They are all seated on the floor in front of the big screen tv.

Eddie Haskell starts dropping gay bombs. Next thing I know my son is calling Eddie Haskell a cheater and a fight literally breaks out at my feet! I'm hollerin' for them to break it up and fists are flyin'! Finally it stops and my son stomps to his room, where upon I say "time to go home, call your ride". To which Eddie Haskell replies that he didn't do anything and the other kid slinks out the door without a word.

Eddie Haskell is always doing something to provoke a fight, or literally starts pounding on my son for no reason. (My son is way bigger than him and is not normally into fighting, he's usually breaking up fights. Perhaps the cheating on top of the gay bombs drove him over the edge? I'm not really sure who even threw the first punch.)

After Eddie Haskell finally got picked up we drove over to the other kid's house. I introduced myself to the parents and told them I wanted to stop by and make sure their son knew that he did nothing wrong and that he is welcome at our house any time. They are completely familiar with Eddie Haskell, in fact he is banned from their house, and from a friend's house. So we were on the same page. They also said my son is welcome any time at their house.

3. What’s the longest time that you‘ve been involved with the same person? I don't think I can really count my marriage, because I was only staying until he got better. So technically I wasn't with him for a number of years.

13. What is your favorite memory in the last year? I think I'll keep that one to myself.

They're memes. Who needs to rate them? You do them and then they hit your archives and you don't think about them anymore.
