Hero Dad Moment - Wednesday!
Good morning, it is a marvelous Wednesday! I don’t know why I went with the Bridgerton accent this morning; probably because my wife had Bridgerton on last night, but it’s all good. It’s Wednesday, man! I hope you guys are having a dope-ass day. I finally had a moment where mindless hours of watching shows like Cake Boss and Dessert King and all those different dessert shows on Netflix finally came into play and probably made me a hero.
My wife bought my kids these giant-ass lollipops, you know, those rainbow ones that are something straight out of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. One of them broke; the kid dropped it. The thing broke right in half; it was like a nice, clean fracture, and he was losing it—just losing it! My wife didn’t know what to do. She was getting overwhelmed; I’m not making fun of her, I’m just saying he was screaming; it was a lot. She was like, “Okay, I’ll get you another one next time when I go to the store,” and I was like, “Hold up, I know this!”
I took the lollipop, put it on a plate, and my wife was looking at me like, “What’s this dumbass about to do?” I examined it, checked it out, put it in the microwave, melted it a little bit—not too much, thirty seconds. It got soft, put it back together, put it back in the fridge; it glued up shut, bam! I knew I saw this on freaking TV. I saw one of those dessert shows where they’re reconfiguring their desserts, and I’m like, “Yo, I could do that!” Whatever; it doesn’t matter how I got it; mindless TV pays off sometimes, and I came out looking like a freaking hero, only for the kid to drop the lollipop again this morning into like a million pieces. I’m like, “I can’t fix that one!”
But, yo, in case you ever have a kid who breaks a lollipop, melt it, refreeze it, you’re good to go! Yeah, man, that’s my story for the day. You guys have a great-ass day. It is not too bad right now, maybe because I have coffee in front of me, but have a fun one. Peace!
