That’s a question I didn’t expect to hear. Heather has a ball glove? Where was it when she was out in the field with the kids and the ball came down, beaning her on the head? It was a hard hit too! I heard the resounding echo of impact from the stands.
Today, after Tesla’s practice, I just wanted 30 minutes to hang out with her. Nope. John had texted the reason i couldn’t have her is “You’re watch never works.” Tesla asked me to ask her dad if she could go with me. I told her I already had twice, but she was insistent. I asked and he said, “no, dinner is waiting for us on the table.”
Then he asked if I had Heather’s glove. I said no and gave him a weird look. He said, “well her glove disappeared and I’m just asking.”
He THOUGHT I took his girlfriend’s ball glove! I replied, “Do you want to look at it?” and held my glove out to him.
He said, “No, if you say it’s not hers, I believe you.” (Now there is a fucking first. He believes something I say?!)
I replied, still holding out my glove. “You can check it for her name. I know she likes to write names on things…”
I couldn’t help myself. All those people standing around looking at me like I had possibly stolen my husband’s, girlfriend’s ball glove. Right after he told me I couldn’t have 30 minutes with Tesla after practice. WHATEVER!
Also, tell your wacky, grammatically-challenged girlfriend to stop brushing my child’s teeth.
