A Date with Oscar

Barry's been working late in the city all week, and Shelby is now old enough to go "hang" around town with other tweens, so tonight, it was just me and my boyo.

Oscar always treats me extra special when Barry's away, even going so far as to call me "wife" as Daddy does. He opens doors for me, carries ALL the groceries, and cuddles me with blankets.

Tonight, he decided that we should go on a date.
Okay, son.

First, we walked to the post office where he mailed a letter. Then he asked if I wanted to go throw rocks in the river at the train bridge. Of course.

As we stopped to look both ways, he took my hand to cross main street. (He held it the rest of the way home. )

He stopped on a bench in the grassy area of main street in case I wanted to rest. He then entertained me with dance moves and crazy made-up rock songs.

We sang songs most of the way home. He asked me lots of questions about my childhood. I showed him where the bakery used to be, where some of my old friends used to live, and where the apartments used to be a pharmacy. He acted very interested and wished he could've been alive to have a donut with me at that bakery back then.

When we got home he helped me with the supper dishes, and asked me about how much I love Daddy and why. He said it was a good thing that I got Daddy because not all boys are as funny and handsome as him. I agreed.

After the dishes, he told me to sit on the couch so he could read me a romantic book. I waited and he brought out "Dora and Boots Valentines Picnic".

When Shelby arrived home, we had her take a picture of our date because he said we both looked really cool tonight with our hats.

It was probably the best date I've ever had (no offense Barry).

Until he farted and almost made both of us puke.
