The other day I emailed Lovebug and Guido with this link for my godson, Diddums. He liked it and I read the reply last night, which cheered me no end "That was really cool and really crazy and I like that you told us. If there is any more nature cool stuff please email us back." This is the same kid who told me that I did not need to get him a present because he already had everything he needed.
Apparently I get on better with seven year olds than adult males, especially those who refuse to grow up. I had a fun dinner party last night to celebrate Spanish Guy #2's moving back to Spain (he really wants a proper nickname, so in honor of his leaving he will henceforth be known as Rafael). The guys liked the food I made, and I got a lovely thank you message from Sancho today. Rafael and Sancho headed off around 12:30 to continue the leaving celebration in Temple Bar. Dante il Bambino stayed for a short while for a discussion.
We have both been operating under different assumptions... language is sometimes a problem, as is understanding our differences. I was not impressed with his take on things, to put it mildly.
Luckily, my neighbor and friend Corkman called over for a nightcap. That eased the tension. Corkman was full of his woes this week, having been to the hospital twice since he was worried about his head. He fell on Sunday morning and has had bad headaches since. Mind you, he was also convinced that he had fractured his skull despite assurances from the good-looking female doctor that he had not.
Corkman's stories and tribulations are always entertaining and he can laugh at himself at the same time that he worries incessantly about whatever the current problem might be.
May Diddums never lose his sense of wonder and non-selfish ways. A gorgeous kid, no doubt he will be breaking girls' hearts when he is older. Unfortunately.
