All hell broke loose awhile ago. The sirens went off and I was totally shocked. The kid goes apeshit and starts screaming while I try to hear what they’re saying on the television about the weather. Can’t hear a damned thing with a seven year old screeching like a 16 year old girl. Had my MP3 player on and set it to a radio station that was simulcasting a local tv station.
Grabbed my map, our shoes, flashlight, and my purse and dragged the kid into the master closet so he’d be happy. Tossed in his mammoth and elephant puppets. He was wanting “Dad” and wanting to go to the moon… NOW. For some reason he’s decided if the weather gets bad he has to go to the moon. lol
Poor kid has been scared shitless by the talk of global warming he’s picked up on. He watches all those damned nature documentaries and of course whatever the evil portrayed it’s blamed on global warming in some way.
He’s seven so he doesn’t understand all of that shit. When he sees the sky get dark he goes nuts.
God, I’d love to strangle people who scare kids with that crap.
Of course he changed his mind about the moon when we told him they don’t have french fries on the moon…
I forgot to mention that my damned SAME weather radio failed to warn us. Have to figure out why before the next time…
