The Monkeys that Flew out of my Butt

Gentle reader, I do urge you to sit down before proceeding with this post.

Seriously.





Have you found a seat?

Today, at 3:00 PM, I met with Binta's teacher for our annual parent teacher conference. As with last year, I invited Binta's dad to attend. Last year, he had said that he would come, and Binta's teacher even arranged a special time to meet with us that worked with his schedule.

He didn't show.

I did receive a phone call from him, though. Approximately 2 hours before our conference time. He explained that he was in Idaho.

IDAHO.

He didn't think he'd make it to the conference.

Ya think?


So. Fast forward to this year. As with last year, I made sure he knew what time the conference would be held. I reminded him several times. I placed bets that he would not attend. My guess was that this year, I'd get a call from Wyoming.

Are you still sitting down?

Ok. Not only did he show up for the conference, but he was 10 minutes early. Not only did he hang out afterwards to spend time with Binta, but he stayed until 7:30 so that he could watch her entire Tae Kwon Do class.

Now I've seen absolutely everything.

This totally made me laugh. Even when I read it today, it made me laugh again.
