Text: this just happened yesterday morning, and i figured this would give me a place to vent my guilt. our cat has been making the most godawful meowing noise due to being in heat or something. anyways, i was watching tv and the cat was just walking back and forth through the house meowing over the tv and waking my girlfriend up. i got fed up and threw the thing outside and continued on with my show. i dozed off, woke up a few hours later and soon realized that i left the cat outside. i opened the door expecting it to be nearby like usual when it gets locked out, but to my horror nothing was to be found. i've searched all the surrounding streets with no luck, my girlfriend and i couldn't be more upset over the loss, and i have to explain to her 3 year old son why the cat isn't here.
 

update: heard some meowing outside a few hours ago and went to check on it. sure enough, our cat made her way back. however in our grief, we failed to communicate and ended up bringing home another cat a piece plus a new puppy. went from 2 cats, to 1 cat, to 4 cats and a dog.

Text: obligatory persuasive statement:  i'm not racist.  i'm the most open minded person out there.  really, i am.  we live in a very diverse community, have diverse friendships, i'm a minority myself.

 i have three kids, little boys, who say and act and do the most stupid, crazy ass shit on a daily basis.  i like talking, and i am always talking, i explain things all the time.  why it's inappropriate to say this or do that, in regards to my kids stupid, crazy ass, daily shit.

my 7 year old, being the youngest boy, always getting interrupted by his brothers, always feeling duped by them, etc, has anger issues.  

his oldest brother, 10, comes home saying very racist things.  they attend a predominantly african american elementary school.  it's a great school, good teachers, i lucked out with the curriculum. but my 5th grader comes home with "mom, my friends say that they are the better race." or "they call me little dick, cause i'm white." or this gem "you can't hang with us, cracka." 

we aren't even white.  

whatever, i like that my kids are exposed to the different cultures out there, and i just tell them how we are all equal, we are all human beings, and our color doesn't matter, it's what's on the inside that counts.  very pc stuff.

fast forward to the next morning, driving the boys to school.  my little anger issue 7 year old, tells us "i hate this girl in my class, she's ugly.  she has rotten teeth and brown skin." 

ugh, was he not paying attention when i made my "we are the world" speech?  i tell him, "honey, that isn't nice to say, she is a nice girl, and it's not nice to point out peoples skin color. you have other friends who are black. her skin does not make her ugly."  

"her skin is brown, not black."   

time to drop off, kisses, hugs, free for 7 hours, thank god!

i get a phone call at the end of the school day.  they want me to come in to discuss something in regards to one of the boys.  i don't know which boy, but i know it has something to do with stupid, crazy ass boy stuff shit.  

it's the seven year old.  he was angry for a girl butting into his conversation.  he told her "go to hell.  you're ugly and your family is brown."

i'm stunned.  i ask him "what have we talked about, skin color doesn't matter."  i completely by pass the hell comment, because i know that the african american principal didn't call me in to talk about religion.

i say a few more things about how we talk about racism at home, and we are all human.  i apologize profusely to the principal and vice principal, ask them to apologize to the family on my behalf, shake hands just before the tears well up in my eyes.  we agreed to a fitting punishment for him, and i'm out.  

 fuck, i'm friends with every parent in the school.  the usually cheerful secretaries don't even look up as i say, "see you ladies."  i feel ashamed.

my seven year old, who is feeling bad about the whole thing, then says to me, without any prompting, "the vice principal asked me 'who told you about black and white.'"  

"what did you say?"

"i told her you taught me."

fuck
