Worthy (Part 2)

Moms and Dinosaurs

Tyler: Oh come on. You'll really like her.

I just stared at him and took my tool belt off.

Tyler: Shes a fuckin preschool teacher with a big ass, dude. That's perfect for you!

How this man landed a smart girl like Kim is completely beyond me. He's tried to set me up on dates before and Everytime he describes the girl, it's all about her looks. Unless being a preschool teacher is a personality trait?

Doubt it.

Me: Nah, I need to buckle down with group. And I'm busy this week.

Not a complete lie.

I did technically have homework from Dr. Winters.

Tyler: horse shit.

Me: I'm taking Ella to the museum after school today, and this weekend she might have a friend over

Side track him with Ella, that always works.

Tyler: oh yeah? A new friend from school already?

Told ya.

Me: Yep. She wants to show off the tree house, thought maybe id take them fishing if you wanna come by.

Tyler: Nah, Kim's parents are coming into town this weekend. Take pictures for me though.

I packed up my shit and hurried home for a quick shower and change of clothes, then headed to baby girls school.

I got there with a few minutes to spare, like always, and people watched.

There was a young girl singing loudly with the windows down and I chuckled. That would definitely be Ella when she was old enough to drive.

I glanced over at a man talking on his cell phone, and over by the benches, there was dannys mom.

What was her name?

Charley?

She gave me a little smile and dove back into her book.

The doors flew open and I spotted Ella right away. I was getting better at this.

We got to the museum and i swear her whole little body was vibrating

Ella: How old are dinosaurs?

Fuck if i knew.

Me: 500 bazillion years old.

She didn't buy it.

She looked so tiny next to these big ass dinosaur exhibits

Me: You wouldn't of even been a snack for these guys.

She giggled and tugged my hand to the next exhibit

Me: give me your best dinosaur noise

Without skipping a beat

Ella: RAWWWWRRRRRR!!!!!!

I chuckled and quickly wrapped my hand around her mouth, pulling her back to my thighs.

Me: I didnt mean you had to be as loud as these things were goofy

She giggled. I loved her little high pitched giggle.

We stopped to look at some big stack of bones

Ella: Whats this one?

I flipped open the brochure and skimmed around trying to find out, i couldnt just keep making shit up, she was supposed to be learning. And i was running out of clever names.
