Stay-At-Home-Dad Revisited (Briefly)

So, Chet approached me again today at work... (See yesterday's ENTRY if you don't know what I'm talking about in this post and want more details.]

He said, "Miles* [I'll explain that after], I have this for you." Then he gave me some church anti-gay literature (a brochure that I tossed without reading) and turned on his heel and left without another word. So much for trying to be understanding on my side. I think we'll probably speak only when work forces it on us from now on...

[*Miles is my first name. Everyone at work except for Chet calls me Milo, my nickname. Heck, my family calls me Milo! I think it's just another sign of how... pompous (?) Chet is that he won't use my nickname to address me. Sigh.]

When I got home tonight Dad told me that he'd just met our new neighbor across the street. lol. The encounter went like this...

Dad's out on the porch opening a can of green beans for supper with a can opener. The neighbor waves and Dad gestures her over and they chat for a few minutes. Then she looks pointedly at the can he's holding. "We've got cats," Dad told her, by way of explanation. Then she nodded and they both laughed and she headed back home and Dad headed back inside to the kitchen...

[For those of you who don't have cats, now and then we'll open a can of tuna for them as a treat. So whenever they hear the can opener opening any can, they come running expecting tuna! lol. I guess Dad didn't want them under foot while he was fixing dinner...]

I love my family. lol.

I'm off to read to Missy and the family for a bit before grabbing a much-needed nap! (Can't wait to finish so we can start reading the fifth "Harry Potter" book!)
