My son is 3. He has a best friend named Marcus from daycare. Marcus's dad and I nod at each other during pickup. That's our whole relationship.
Last Wednesday he texts me: "Marcus won't stop asking about Eli. Saturday work?"
I say sure.
He picks Eli up at 10. By 11 I'm on the couch. Not doing anything. Just. Sitting. I didn't know I missed sitting.
Noon I eat a full meal. Hot. At the table. No one grabbed anything off my plate.
2pm my wife asks what I want to do. I didn't have an answer. I forgot I got to have one.
Marcus's dad texts at 5: "They're good. Eating now."
Cool. Great. Perfect.
7:45 he calls. "Marcus is losing his mind about Eli leaving. Sleepover?"
I said yes so fast I scared myself.
Drove home. Stopped for gas I didn't need. Just stood outside in the parking lot for a minute.
Went inside. Told my wife.
She had already opened a bottle of wine.
We watched two full movies. Nobody woke us up at 6am. I laid in bed until 8:47 just because I could.
Marcus's dad drops Eli off Sunday. Eli walks in, looks at me once, and goes straight to his toys.
Didn't ask where I'd been. Didn't care.
Bro same.

WHY ARE THE CHILDREN STILL IN CAPTIVITY?
4 men requested an uber van last night. A woman came to pick them up, during the trip they started telling her that they were horny. She drove to Randburg police station instead of their destination.
Tinubu: "And so... the groundnut oil must never run before sgidoksvhdb 'cause where do we go from there...?"
Idiots: 👏👏👏👏👏
Obi: "If you look at our energy production capacity, we are just at 43% of our potential"
Idiots: "Lol. This is why I said Obi can never be president. We are at 45%, not 43%. All this man does is lie. How do we put our country in the hands of someone who always falsifies figures to prove a point?"
