Now before you get all pissed of because I’m smoking around my kid you gotta understand
\n
\nI go to the garage to smoke. He follows me, and if you’re a parent you can understand my plight. If you’re a anti-smoking freak please understand I tried to distance him from the second hand smoke, he follows me. It’s not like a have a cigarette hanging from my mouth when we’re drawing the ABC’s. In fact while we’re practicing them I’m not smoking. It’s after the fact.<\/p>\n
At any rate can’t stop him from following me so we started a game, Steph thinks it was his idea, chances are it was. We had some sidewalk chalk and we started practicing our ABCs.<\/p>\n
I am pleased to say that today my son wrote the whole alphabet with me. All the way from Z,A-Y.<\/p>\n
I almost had him do Z twice so I could say A-Z but it didn’t work out quite right.<\/p>\n
I started with Z because I wanted to practice it before we set out on the monumental task of writing the whole alphabet. We hadn’t practiced Z a whole lot.<\/p>\n
Chances are if I didn’t smoke, I never would have spent the time teaching him. Mostly because I’d be on this box obsessing about my rights being taken away<\/a>, and the Real ID act<\/a>, and spam in my inbox<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Now before you get all pissed of because I’m smoking around my kid you gotta understand<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,22,2,24,7,5,1,15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-237","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-dad-stuff","category-funny","category-insanity","category-life-stories","category-makes-you-think","category-things-that-get-me-mad","category-happy","category-weird"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.the-erm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.the-erm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.the-erm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.the-erm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.the-erm.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=237"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.the-erm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.the-erm.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=237"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.the-erm.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=237"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.the-erm.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=237"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
