Throwing stuff at the internet to see what sticks


Thursday, May 11, 2006  

Now that the weather is nicer, M. Small loves to spend as much time outside as he possibly can. He also likes to spend as little time on the changing table as possible. This last bit is true regardless of the weather.

So last weekend, after I finished changing his diaper, I set him down feet-first on the floor. Without pausing or looking back, he immediately stomped out of the room, grabbing his jacket off of his doorknob as he went. He continued storming down the hall towards the back door, angrily saying, "BYE!"

His dramatic exit would have had a lot more impact had he not then required me to put his jacket on and open the door for him.

Sorry, M. Giant, but it sounds like you have a teenage boy in the house. Perhaps you could think of this as practice?

about
Hi, I'm M. Giant. I'm here because while there's no shortage of people hurling their least significant thoughts and feelings up on the Internet, none of those people are me. I'm here because I've got nothing to say, and by God I'm going to say it.

My goal with this blog is to spend time writing something, anything, rather than just sitting around slackjawed. I hope to hone my writing skills, build a small but loyal following, then a slightly larger and more fiercely loyal following, ultimately culminating in the destruction of my enemies and total world domination.

Feel free to e-mail me if you like, but only if you don't mind that anything you say is likely to end up on the site. I can't guarantee that I'll be nice about it.

Thanks to blogger.com for the free hosting and page design template. All content copyright 2002-2007 M. Giant. You could steal from me, but you'd only be hurting yourself. Using me as your instrument.


And it's pronounced "velCRAWmeter", dammit.
