But I’m Borrrrred.
January 2nd, 2008 by trancejen
We can’t take our new kitten home from the Humane Society until next Friday because the little bugger has pink eye and has to be on medication.
Pink eye.
Therefore my wonderful child is restless and ready to mope the house down.
Do you know what I would like to do with children who act bored post-Christmas during their Christmas vacations, these sad-eyed, droopy-faced children who wander through the house aimlessly and watch mindless television while their sparkling piles of Christmas booty sit untouched?
I would like to take all the brand-new toys, games, video games, stuffed animals, dolls, playsets, action figures, clothes, and ACTUAL FURNITURE that these children receive and put it on a big plane and send it to Darfur or some other Godforsaken country where children don’t have jack shit and make the spoiled little so and sos distribute the stuff, along with good food, so as to learn what NOT being bored is really like.
That’s what I would like to do with Mr. I’m Bored.
Can you tell I’m ready for Christmas vacation to be over?
I thought so.
I’m crabby today. That damned kitten and its damned pink eye and my damned migraine.
At least I’m teaching the valuable but annoying lesson of having to wait for things you want - which is, of course, a lesson that I have never properly mastered.
I want the kitty, too. Poor little thing.
As for the boredom, I have invited another child over, so I now have *two* bored children who are chomping at the bit to use this computer. I think I’m going to send them both out into the snow to hunt for Star Wars light sabers, which you may or may not know are even tinier than the dreaded Barbie shoe.
That’ll learn ‘em.
Happy Wednesday.

I usually just lurk but I wanted to tell you that I own a Skittles in a black fluffy female kitty model too! :o)
Hours and hours of fun, I tell ya. With the exception of her frequent puke puddles hehe.
Hope she comes home soon and take care!!!

My mom’s reply to “I’m bored,” was “Great — you can start by cleaning your room, then I’ll have a list of other chores you can do.” It was amazing, how quickly we could find other things to do.

Heh. Just remind him he’ll be back at school next week, and then he’ll be wishing he was bored again!
