finally! man in my bed!

it's not what u think o



momsie agreed to babysit my cousin's 5yr old son for the weekend knowing fully well of my reservations.
so, i came home friday night to find the cute as a button dude whom i haven't seen since he was in diapers even tho i speak to him regularly on the phone .

as i walked in the door, he rushed to hug me (did i not read someplace that boys didn't display affection?)

before i could take my coat off, he insisted on showing me all the drawings and writings he had done with momsie, the dude wanted me to watch him draw all kind of funny looking figurines including one of me walking on stilts and carrying a suitcase on her wrist . lol

from the drawing we moved to the living room where he asked me all manner of questions about anything and everything!

him: how come u live all alone in this big house?

me: i like living alone

him:why?

me: i just do

him: how come u don't have any kids?

me: cos I'm not married (wrong answer!)

him: my mom's not married and she has a kid!

me: i know, emm emm.. here's a nice show! i will be right back

i quickly dashed up the stairs to my room.

later, i asked momsie when his bedtime was, she didn't know, will he be ok sleeping alone in the spare bedroom? (his mom didn't write down any instructions?)

momsie said we'll know when he's tired and if he can't sleep alone he can sleep with her (okay!)

eleven o clock came, momsie was fast asleep on the couch and the dude in his spiderman pajamas showed no sign of tiredness!

i announced it was bedtime, woke momsie up and we all went up the stairs, i put dude in the spare bedroom with the nitelight on and door open.

as i made to leave, he declared "we didn't pray! so we prayed o (the boy can pray!)

"father God, thank u for my mommy, my daddy, me, my auntie sherri, grandma and grandpa, mrs goldstein, all the poor children of the world, give us rest as we sleep thru the nite. in Jezuz name! amen" ( we hugged, and kissed goodnight)

i gingerly made my nightly cup of herb tea, ready to snuggled in bed with a book with the tv on as usual, my phone rings, it's oyin trying to get me to change my mind about going to some party that night ( after partying 2 nights back to back last weekend for my bday, i was looking forward to a weekend of vegging and nothing was going to change that)

as i finally i cozy up with my book and tv, dude bounded into my room asking " can i sleep with u? pleassssse?" (which kin wahala be this?)

within a matter of five minutes, dude was fast asleep!(thank God)
