Friday ES report, see man:

 

We indeed attended the first Many (2+2) of the Many (2+2+2) ESs itineraried, attend we man.

The second ES yielded the take, see man:

  -- set of small screwdrivers = $Many ($2+1), deal man

Total = $Many ($2+1)

[TBoneTX 45,570]

Thrilling Friday report, see man:

 

The last ES was very close to Aldi, complete Two Guys Week shopping we man.

Made it back to the casa in time for lunch and a nearly hourlong siesta, si man.

Lunch was onecan of Aldi chili, ingest we man.

 

T-B.-mobiled in traffic to ex-Mrs.-T-B.'s office, almost on time we man.

Mini-B. happily engrossed in his new gaming computer, over $Many,000 man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. took off to yak with her Ecu amigas, yak yak yak YAK YAK surely they man.

 

We took Mini-B. to the nearby gargantuan mall, proximal man.

The goal was to find new skool shoes, egad man.

The criterion was "nothing that will get me teased or bullied, no man," $$$igh man.

 

Mini-B. saw some Air Jordan Whatevers at Foot Locker for over $Many00,  man.

We resisted their immediate purchase, in heart failure we man.

We insisted that we enter every shoe place in the mall, Many of them man.

Mini-B. objected, particular wee man.

In Under Armour, we found some red Curry basketball shoes at half-off, still $Many man.

Mini-B. was quite pleased with this purchase, about-to-faint we man.

Mini-B. swapped what he was wearing in favor of wearing these, pleased wee man.

 

After full inspection of mall, Mini-B. kept lobbying us to buy the Air Whatevers, resistant we man.

We extracted yet another promise that Mini-B. would GS/ES with us without complaint, si man.

Mini-B. semi-agreed, semiagreeable wee man.

We returned to Foot Locker, gullible sap we man.

Mini-B. got his Air Whatevers, pleased wee and about-to-faint we man.

Before this, we should have said, "Mommy will buy these for you, Child $upport man."

 

Din-din was at Popeye's on edge of mall property, ingest Two Guys man.

 

At the casa, Mini-B. recorded a TikTok video of his new shoes, priorities man.

We then shot baskets till sweat took over, exhausted Two Guys man.

Mini-B. got to bed quite late again, must ameliorate this before skool starts man.

We are almost (but not quite) too tired to party with the rubias, cavort we man.

Thrilling Saturday report, see man:

 

The gold-mine ES yielded almost all of Mini-B.'s needed skool supplies,  man.

The composition books were only Many (2x2x2x2x2x2 +2+2+2) pennies each, financially savvy we man.

The gigantic Many-ring ([2+1]-ring) binder was the same, successful Business Typhoon we man.

This, plus what we found at the casa, should satisfy the skool necessities, si and glee and whee man.   

 

Lunch for Mini-B. was modified tuna glop, nuked rice + onecan tuna but no peas, ingest wee man.

Lunch for us was onecan beef stew, ingest we man.

 

Played Many (2+1) separate rounds of mini-hoops with Mini-B., over Many00 degrees outside man.

 

Din-din was PB&J sandwiches, ingest 2 each Two Guys man.

 

Movie night was Daddy's Home 2, not as good as the original man.

Many (2+2+1) bowls of Costco popcorn were consumed, ingest Two Guys man.

This already puts us halfway toward Two Guys Week's minimum quota, serendipity man.

 

Must try to get Mini-B.'s hairs cut before skool, resistant wee man*.

     *who looks like a street urchin, urch wee man

Must try to wean him from his phone at bedtime, absolutely prohibited on skool nights man.

This will result in great trauma and strife, guarantee we man.

 

Now must try to down-bed Mini-B., get on nighttime skool schedule man.

Party with the rubias thereafter, cavort we man.

Scintillating Sunday repartee, yawn man.

Thrilling Sunday report, see man:

 

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. finished her hen/yak party, so we dropped Mini-B. with ex-her man mid-morning, si man.

Stopped at CVS afterward, shop we man.

With use of coupons, saved Many% ([2x2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2 + 2+2+2]%) off full retail, financially savvy we man.

 

Lunch was onecan sardines and a 2-day-old donated Sausage McGriddle, ingest we man.

 

The laundry load was conquered, victorious we man.

 

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. decided to handle Mini-B.'s overdue haircut, take life into ex-her man's own hands ex-her man.

Ex-she man found a Chinese barbershop, oh no man.

(We have found that Chinese/Vietnamese barbers listen carefully but often do what they want,  man.)

Mini-B. was in tears before he left the shop, could have bet our life's savings on it man.

 

Mini-B. disconsolate for quite a while, We Told You So man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. ordered a 'roni 'za, up-cheer wee man ex-she man man.

Ex-she man invited us over to help to up-cheer wee man, invite we man ex-she man man.

Din-din was therefore 2 slices of 'roni 'za, ingest for free we man.

 

Mini-B. wasn't speaking to us, no man.

He blamed us for having to get one at all, need to spread that blame man.

In fact, he is spending the night at ex-Mrs.-T-B.'s casa, wee man that upset man.

He doesn't understand that every other skoolkid will show up with a haircut,  man.

Maybe by first day (Wednesday) he'll have calmed down, usual pattern man.

 

At casa, watered plants before going in, full month with zero rain man.

Then catered to demanding miu, brush/feed me Daddy man.

Party with the rubias later, cavort we man.

Ooo, boy, but Mini-B. is icy toward us, still mad about haircut man.

He blames us for ex-Mrs.-T-B.'s having taken him to the new place, not what we'd have done man.

He blames us for the "buzz cut" that actually isn't one, not our doing man.

He's afraid that "those in power" will tease/bully him, catastrophizing wee man.

 

We have told him that anyone who teases him can get one of several rejoinders, see man:

   "Yours is worse, si man."

   "Do I know you, and, if I did, should I care, huh man?"

   "Did everybody else die and leave you in charge, huh man?"

   [Ignore, no notice man]

He's still moaning about it, good grief man.

 

The first day of skool is Wednesday, we fear a boycott man.

 

We are open to ideas, si man.

Thrilling Monday report, see man:

 

Mini-B. stayed overnight with ex-Mrs.-T-B., mad-at-us for "forcing" haircut wee man.

Let himself in the casa in the morning, garage code man.

Mini-B. wouldn't speak to us except to order lunch, modified tuna glop ingest wee man.

Lunch for us was onecan chicken noodle soup, ingest we man.

 

After playing computer games and V.R., Mini-B. loosened up, process man.

At half-past Many (2x2x2 -1) p.m., Mini-B. announced the need for new saxophone reeds,  man.

Store closed at Many (2x2x2) p.m., could still make it man.

Mini-B. wore his stupid hoodie, looked like a freak man.

We tried to tell him to pretend that he looked normal and no one would say a thing, reason we man.

Mini-B. rejected this and said that he'd wear his hoodie for a month till his hair grew out,  man.

 

We had several sotto voce phone chats with ex-Mrs.-T-B. about the haircut thing, eyeroll ex-she man.

We must take Uncle T-B. to the dentist midday Tuesday, chauffeur senior he man we man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. will come by to sit with Mini-B. and try to reason with him, probably futile man.

 

We hope to convince Uncle T-B. to close out some worthless bank accounts, un-Interesting man.

Two together earned precisely $Many ($2x2x2x2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2 +1) last year, worthless man.

We found a Many-month CD at Many.Many% interest that can earn him $Many,000, $i man.

But Uncle T-B. will probably chicken out and say he's too tired after the dentist,  man.

 

Got Mini-B. to bed too late but far earlier than usual, need to adopt skool sleep schedule man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. & we are not permitting phone use after Many p.m., totally unhappy wee man.

And Mini-B. isn't even a Manyager yet, no man!

As expected, Uncle T-B. called to cancel all the day's activities, bet money on it man.

Uncle T-B. claimed illness, stomach issues man.

Mama T-B. told us later that Uncle T-B. was at both breakfast & lunch, social senior he man.

One of his amigos was heard to say, "I've not seen Uncle T-B. look that good for a long time, no man!" sigh man.

Mama T-B. yet again told us, "Welcome to my world, si and sigh and  man!"

 

For lunch, Mini-B. consumed 2 PB&J sandwiches, ingest wee man.

For lunch, we consumed 2 corn dogs, ingest we man.

Din-din was Many (2x2x2 +2+1) cheese/chicken taquitos from Costco, ingest Two Guys man.

 

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. came over to deliver an NBA-sanctioned hoodie to Mini-B., premium price man.

It will be a long discussion and process to talk about re$pon$ibility, ex-Mrs.-T-B. has none man.

Not only is ex-Mrs.-T-B. "buying off" MIni-B., but ex-she man is poisoning him, sigh man.

 

Party with the rubias is under way, must re-cavort we man.
