Zipes, the Zany Zebra

So, Alex got to bring home Zipes, the Zany Zebra from school this weekend, and we had to write a sentence or two about what all Alex did with Zipes.  Alex had to color a picture.  So, this is what my crazy husband (with the really wicked sense of humor) decided to write in the Zipes journal:


"On Friday, I went to stay with Alex Kee.  He is a likeable fellow, if somewhat mischievous.  On Saturday, Alex and his family went to the “Kid Expo”.  I was invited to go.  Although the invitation felt somewhat obligatory, I still enjoyed myself.  I watched Alex going in and out of bounce houses and other kid activities.  That night the family watched the movie, “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.”  The excitement waned from there.  Most of the rest of my time was spent just sitting on the couch, watching the world go by. Alex’s bond with “Bunny” and “Bear” didn’t allow any room for a similar bond to develop between us. Such is the life of a drifter.  All in all, it was a good time. I look forward to going home with the next child."

Cracking me up!  Hopefully, as Alex gets older, he won't be too embarrassed by his dad's quirky ways :)
